New camera coming on Friday!!!!! woo hoo!

If you know me...then you know that I am a freak when it comes to gadgets! A trait that I probably inherited from my father first...and then he gave it to his two sons...and then when you look up to a 7 year older geek brother (and yes I say the word geek with pride..because I continue his geekdom into the future...maybe not as much as he did...but there is still a lot of it there ha ah!!! Just ask Sheila she can tell you! ;)

anyway...with the old camera breaking....my parents (mainly my mother...who loves seeing the pictures of our lives....wanted us to get a new one...and decided that maybe a early birthday could be arranged...so anyway...i went to Best Buy yesterday and got a great deal.... I bought the camera online though the local store! With an already 10% discount online, a 12% discount through my reward zone, $10 of reward zone points, and one $5 McDonalds Monopoly game piece...I thought i got a really good deal...so what did I get?

nothing too amazing...but still very cool none-the-less:

introducing the Casio EXILIM S770 (blue <---the only color BB had, heh)(oh and I got it for a much better price than that on the official Casio website)
It had all the features I really wanted in a camera:
  • decent megapixel 7.2
  • macro mode (cause I love taking pictures close-up...weird that way I guess)
  • Very small size to go in the pocket (94,5 x 60.4 x 17.3 mm (W x H x D, excl. protrusions, thinnest part 13.7 mm)
  • movie mode with sound (MPEG-4...even in a 16x9 format (not HD quality..but will fill my TV...with lots of blur, ha ha.
Oh and did I mention that it has a 2.8 inch screen? Dang that is huge for the size of camera that it is... so anyway... I am sure yal will be seeing many more new pics around here...and maybe even videos with sound...if I can find some place to FTP them and store them somewhere, heh.... Oh and since it has all those abilities...I figured I needed to get a new SD card too!

(insert sheepish grin here heh heh) So i got a 2 GB SD card...amazing they can fit so much info into such a small space...man I love technology(the 4 GB was WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!)...any way yall take care have a wonderful week and go enjoy community somewhere this fine Sunday! KUTPs!!!!!!

I think I'm breaking a commandment right now--the one about coveting... 7.2 mp!! And a 2 gig SD card! Dude, that thing's so big you'll never be forced to empty it!

Anyway, I want to see some cool "transparent laptop" pics on this blog!
