For those of you wondering what ever happened to our old camera, you’ll be happy to learn that it as of this morning, we still hadn’t gotten it back from the repair shop. It was supposed to be repaired and returned by the 19th. As far as the online-status is concerned, it is still being “Shipped to Repair Center” which indicates that either (a) The repair center is on Neptune or (b) The camera was not going to be repaired. This is why we just went out and bought the new camera last week. We didn’t want to head out of town without a camera so we just bought the high-end Nikon we had been thinking about for months.

Well, it turns out my Canon is broken beyond repair! Yay! Do you know why I’m happy about that? Because that means we can get a NEW one since we ordered the repair plan from Best Buy. This rocks my socks because we have actually been wanting a much slimmer version since the S2IS gets abused in my purse on a daily basis. (Hence the four trips to the repair shop.) Brand new - that camera is $280 dollars by today’s standards, so we’re not sure how that will translate to the models they currently have on the shelves. We’d love the SD 800 since it is more streamlined for purse storage, but the price is a bit higher, so we may have to settle for the SD700. Either way - we’ll be getting a camera much better suited to be bounced around between my keys, my cell phone, and any number of cookies stashed in my purse for Emergency Toddler Freak-Out Management.
