I bought a CAMERA!!!!

So many of you know that I broke my camera last FALL and have been camera-less all this time.

Been waiting to save some $$$ for a Canon Powershot.

Not happening anytime soon.

Anyway I was tooling around and found a camera for an outrageous price on Amazon.

GE Power Pro Series X500 - Point & Shoot - 16 megapixel - Electronic Viewfinder - Compact Sensor - 15 x optical zoom - CCD - Standard SD - SDHC - Pop-up Flash - 12.3 ounce - ISO 3200

$129 w/ free shipping.

$159 w/ 8GB "bundle" (8GB SD card, carrying case, battery pack w/ charger, cleaning tools, SD card USB reader, & mini tripod) PLUS free shipping.

Well...I decided to buy it. I figured it's a birthday gift to myself. If it sucks, I'll buy the Canon at a later date and give this one to junior.

So after lunch yesterday I ordered it (w/ the bundle).

THIS MORNING IT ARRIVED!!!! omfg

I couldn't believe it.

At 11:11am today 11/11/11 I set the time on the camera (lol) and took my first picture.

It looks like it takes decent pics.

Check this one out;

I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't believe it arrived 18hrs after placing the order!

It also has a metal casing. I am happy so far.

If it dies on me 3months from now...maybe I'll be singing a different tune.

Nice!

I want to buy another camera... I like mine, because it takes good pix, and is compact enough to fit in my purse at concerts... lurking

I like yours, though. nod

I got free shipping without being a member! It was through a third party vendor (Beach Camera).

She gave a speech at a dinner I was at...

[img:$uid]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y240/delivertheword/obama/100_1636.jpg[/img:$uid]

Then she shook my hand in the greeting line. I told her it was an honor to meet her and she thanked me. Then she said please continue to work hard and pray. biggrin

She's the epitome of poise and grace...pictures don't do her justice.

When I get out of work I'm gonna go try it out for sure (it's sunny outside).

I upload to Snapfish for prints, and to Photobucket for sharing.

I guess I really should read the instruction manual instead of just snapping away, boxed

Your pix always come out so great. Did you take classes or just have a knack for picture taking?

Looks great!

Last week I dropped my camera, and then stopped turning on. I charged it and tried nearly everything. But nothing happened. I should've worn the damn safety strap. duh

After a while googling for answers, I found out that the cost to repair it would be more than an actual camera, so now it appears that I won't be taking any pictures anytime soon. neutral
