Camera Love
After spending upwards of $2k in November on my new DeII (I love her!!) I got a shocking gift in the mail today. A $200 gift card... FROM DELL! And it couldn't have been a more timely gift. You see, after spending around a grand on my new camera (I love her, too!!!) my Sony (which was only 14 months old) crapped the bed. It could probably be fixed (the lense is stuck open) but I found it I could buy a new one for around the same amount it would take to fix it. So I wasn't really in a hurry to do it, even though I do miss being able to just whip out a little camera (my new Cannon digital isn't made to fit in my purse, ya know?)
Anyway, I went onto the DeII website and presto-chango, I've got a new camera! Yay!!!
Isn't she pretty?
The best part of the whole thing isn't JUST the free $200, its that the camera was marked down by $40 bucks AND the shipping was even free so the whole camera only cost me $17. Even Craig can't complain about this. He was counting on being able to use my Sony for site visits because it was better than the ones they check out from work. I'm still going to fix my Sony, and depending on how good or bad this camera I'll have to decide which one to keep. I like having my big camera... I really do. But I also miss just always having my little one in my purse so that I could grab it if I saw something that caught my attention.
When I bought that Sony last spring I gave my older Sony to my parents. My camcorder is also a Sony so I really like their products but I don't know what happened on this one. Maybe it'll be no big deal.
