The camera sounds fun. The rest sounds ambitious in the doing but fun in the having. If I lived somewhere with a more pleasant summer, I’d think about getting a screened porch.
Ok. Son and DIL (photographers) told me what to get, which is not what I thought I was looking for.
They said with point and shoots, 6-7 megapixels is the “sweet spot” I thought more, although that wasn’t a big deal with me.
I wanted more than 3x optical zoom, but he said that’s fine, I can manipulate the image itself.
And the other stuff I wanted was a large viewing screen, easy to find, and NO DOUBLE A BATTERIES.
So I got a Sony Cybershot S750. One day I want a Canon Rebel xti, but not today. :)
The screened in porch? It’s not cool here either, but I want the porch. When I was married, all those years I did without so much. He got so much nice stuff, and so much of it. Now I am going to make careful choices, but I’m going to make things comfortable around here. :)
