New camera




After a week without, and after a little bit of perusing, we bought a new replacement camera. the direct replacement for the one we lost was the sony but it had gone both touch-screen and expensive. We had previously had a sony touch-screen video cam but it went wrong and caused us some grief so we didn't want to go there again, anyway too expensive, about 30,000 peso (nearly 400 quid at the current reducing rate of exchange).

So, we went for the cannon ixus 901s and very nice too...here are a few no too inspiring shots with the new camera. The pregnant lady in the first shot was the sales lady of course for the camera and the first photo taken with it.

Cost was 16,000 peso or about 200 quid, just under really, so, not bad.

Car in for service and estimate for repair "ouch"....camera and anns phone replaced, just the i-pod to go and then we will be back to where we were before the bump and the robbery, ah well only money i suppose.............

Rick,

I am glad you found what you needed. I worry at times if I need to purchae any electronics here since they eventually wear out or find their way into others pockets.

Now I expect a continuation of your photo exibits.

Camera looks good, a little expensive maybe? Good to see that Bruce is clocking in. Cheers Andy
