Cheap thrills

Monday, Monday, Monday! One of last weekend's high points definitely was the acquisition of a cheap little digital camera. My better half being the photo whizz she is, I knew I'd get beat up for buying anything half-decent like an Ixus. Wifey has her heart set on an EOS 20D but I need something small and inexpensive to lug around with me, to be able to create "Fotoprotokolle" from seminars I teach, etc. Nosing through METRO on Saturday (they were running special offers on Scottish single malt whiskey, one of my passions), I stumbled upon this here: Mine's a RANEX rx 8500. The resolution, etc. are laughable, as is the fact that it will store, play and even record MP3s in addition to taking snapshots. Then again, it only set me back 40 €, so I'm not complaining. Now all I need is a decent SD card and we'll be rolling! More soon...
