New camera coming on Friday!!!!! woo hoo!

If you know me…then you know that I am a freak when it comes to gadgets! A trait that I probably inherited from my father first…and then he gave it to his two sons…and then when you look up to a 7 year older geek brother (and yes I say the word geek with pride..because I continue his geekdom into the future…maybe not as much as he did…but there is still a lot of it there ha ah!!! Just ask Sheila she can tell you!

anyway…with the old camera breaking….my parents (mainly my mother…who loves seeing the pictures of our lives….wanted us to get a new one…and decided that maybe a early birthday could be arranged…so anyway…i went to Best Buy yesterday and got a great deal…. I bought the camera online though the local store! With an already 10% discount online, a 12% discount through my reward zone, $10 of reward zone points, and one $5 McDonalds Monopoly game piece…I thought i got a really good deal…so what did I get?

nothing too amazing…but still very cool none-the-less:

introducing the Casio EXILIM S770 (blue <---the only color BB had, heh)(oh and I got it for a much better price than that on the official Casio website)
It had all the features I really wanted in a camera:

• decent megapixel 7.2
• macro mode (cause I love taking pictures close-up…weird that way I guess)
• Very small size to go in the pocket (94,5 x 60.4 x 17.3 mm (W x H x D, excl. protrusions, thinnest part 13.7 mm)
• movie mode with sound (MPEG-4…even in a 16×9 format (not HD quality..but will fill my TV…with lots of blur, ha ha.

Oh and did I mention that it has a 2.8 inch screen? Dang that is huge for the size of camera that it is… so anyway… I am sure yal will be seeing many more new pics around here…and maybe even videos with sound…if I can find some place to FTP them and store them somewhere, heh…. Oh and since it has all those abilities…I figured I needed to get a new SD card too!

(insert sheepish grin here heh heh) So i got a 2 GB SD card…amazing they can fit so much info into such a small space…man I love technology(the 4 GB was WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!)…any way yall take care have a wonderful week and go enjoy community somewhere this fine Sunday! KUTPs!!!!!!
