I would have considered it an acknowledgement. I'm refusing to leave myself vulnerable this Christmas.In fact, the other evening, I ordered myself a new camera from www.BestBuy.ca. I am now waiting for delivery. They had an additional 10% reduction on all digital camera prices for a customer appreciation sale. The thing was, I would've had to go to a Best Buy store between 6 and 9 pm last Sunday evening. As we were planning to hit a movie theatre, I was able to get the same deal online. Yet, waiting for the package to arrive from Mississauga is a bit irksome.
My current, trusty-little beast will turn four years old in January. The Olympus D-40 has been a great little camera. I've not really outgrown its 4.0 megapixels which were quite cutting-edge back when most cameras were around 2.1. Still, I am looking forward to leaping to 8.0 with the new camera. It is not unlike my present camera but will sport lots of updates and improvements. At least the device's menus should seem familiar. One reason I really wanted the SP-350 is because it takes two ordinary AA batteries. My present D-40 does too, so I've got a ton of rechargable NiMHs. I've been on vacations when it's hard to schedule a charge, but ordinary 'penlight' batteries work and are for sale everywhere!
