Well, the check for our tax refund finally cleared, and runsamuck was insistent that I get a new camera. While my old Sharp (that they only made for a year) has been very sturdy and reliable, I've noticed that it's not focusing very well, seems to be dropping pixels more and more, and well, 3 megapixels is just not all that much resolution anymore. It was when I got it, but technology marches on.

I want a DSLR but I couldn't decide, mainly because Fry's didn't have lenses on any of the camera bodies and I couldn't play around with them. However, a little pocket-sized Casio was on special, so we went home with that for the time being. Something to slip in my pocket when I don't want to lug a gigantic camera around is also nice. The mints above were in the checkout line and we bought them at the same time - I mainly liked the box (I have a weird fascination with boxes). The mints actually weren't all that tasty, but I think this tiny camera can actually do better macros than my old one..
