The Camera Saga Continues...

I take hundreds of photos in a very short amount of time. I am very hard on cameras mainly because they are always with me... an appendage of sorts. I've had many, many cameras, all with terrible demises.

Sad-to-say, I lost another trusted friend while ogling the dinosaurs at Cabazon. I set up my tripod to capture an image of Steve and me being there, when a huge gust violently knocked my beloved Canon over. This is the last photo it took, crashing to the ground, as the 10 second timer clicked. Steve was able to manipulate it for the next couple of outings but its reliability concerned me.

I was content to replace it with my old model, but it was unavailable. Enter the new and improved version. "Unleash the power of high zoom, high performance and Canon’s advanced technology. The PowerShot SX540 HS is a versatile and easy-to-use camera for virtually anyone who wants to capture their favorite subjects, from family get-togethers to amazing safaris, to school plays and the beautiful moments of life in between. Whether you're capturing something up close or in the distance, you'll be able to get the shot you want with its incredible 50x (24–1200mm) zoom power." I am, once again, a happy camper.
