good things come to those who wait

Finally, after seeing it in the shop at least once a week when I go in to make a print or two, I took it home with me... Nikon Coolpix SQ, and they threw in 64 more mb's of memory and a packet of free prints at the shop (local Ritz Camera) all for $149!!! I've always thought this would make a sweet pocket cam - it takes CF so I can use all the same cards as my Drebel and same card reader/workflow, its small as heck, i love the slick recharging base, swiveling design unfortunately puts the little canons to shame, and quality of shots is pretty good. I had thought one day I'd get a used one on ebay at some point, but now I got a floor model for less than half what these went for just last year! I'm also really glad that I got to support the local shop, same guy always there making my prints for me.

And in the spirit of xmas, my gf is going to get it.

(I just hope she doesn't beat me up, we put a $20 limit on xmas cause she's between jobs and I just took on a mortgage)

Nikon makes great little cameras. I still use my Coolpix 885...

I like the idea of being able to carry an extra camera in your mouth.


Nice one Doc
