Hi Gran,

This camera is a Costco special, a Casio ‘Exilim’. It is a tiny little thing with buttons for dwarf fingers, and it rides in a tiny little shirt pocket just right. Practically the whole back side of the thing is an LCD screen, and someone thought out the menu system pretty well — I found only one place where something was confusing: you use the up and down arrow buttons to move up and down the menu, and when you get to the top, the up arrow doesn’t do much anymore, but it changes around what else is displayed on the screen. I had to read the manual to figure that one out, and the manual I had to download from the Casio web site. The box only comes with a quick start guide in most modern languages; A thick book with only a small part in English. I’ll get my act together here and put up some pictures as soon as I finish some honey-dew things further up on my list.

Y’now, we’ve been talking on this forum for more than 5 years now, maybe as far back as 7. Can’t rightly remember... Chlo was newborn...

You lucky dog with a new camera — I will wait until they have one with a low enough price to include GPS settings in the EXIF log. I know they have them but I have not seen any advertised. They would be great for Google Earth.

I must make up my ping list instead of re-inventing the wheel everytime. Anyway, I forgot to put you on the list for post 3624, not that you missed much.

Oh you got a baby tuck-a-way. Those are nice for all your traveling and hiking. I’d love to get a 10mega-pixel, but I’m scared to death of the price. My son has recommended the Canon Rebel XTi. It’s a regular size, which I like, but light with 10MP. I haven’t checked the price out yet tho.... I’m afeared..lol.

Now get working on the those pics and let’s see them.

Chloe is getting so big. I had some new pics of her, but I guess I lost them when my puter went down. :( Maybe I can get my son to send them again.
