Unpaid Advertising - Back to Canon

This last week my wife and I did something I had hoped not to do, we bought another product from Canon. I had promised to never buy another Canon camera after our little Canon Powershot camera had died after a long battle with defective components. I also have shunned mail-in-rebates. Nevertheless, my wife and I found a great deal on a new Canon SD1000 with a mail-in-rebate. Damn you Canon for making such fine looking camera's with great picture quality!

The differences between the old and new camera are striking. Check out how much smaller the new camera is, but how much bigger its screen is. We also have the benefit of higher resolution pictures, not that we need it. Most of our photos end up in e-mail and on web pages in a much smaller, grainier format. The gratuitous toddler photo here is in full 7.1 megapixel glory.  The

only bummer is the memory card. The old camera used compact flash; the new camera uses SD cards. At least new cards are tremendously cheaper than the old cards were.

Hopefully, the new camera will last much longer than the old camera. Or else this will be it for Canon. For real this time. Promise.

So huzaa to Canon?
