Deepest Sorrow...

So...one of my most prized possessions has ceased to work...

Really I am at a complete loss...

Whatever will I do?

How will life go on?

Okay, so I am being a tad bit dramatic, (*shocker*) I know.

Recently my beloved Canon PowerShot A510 has died on me.

I have had this 3.2 mega pixel camera since the 10th grade,

giving it a life span of almost 7 years!

My parents had promised me a digital camera if I attained the A honor roll.

I missed it because of one class in the 9th grade,

so I determined I would NOT in the 10th grade.

I think I shocked my parents when I actually attained it.

I read up on cameras, researched intensely, and searched the web

for the best camera around in 2003.

After much valuable time spent in search of the "best" camera

I determined that I wanted a Canon.

And now...it is dead...

*Sigh*

I have known no other camera.

My Canon was my love and joy (pardon the dramatics, again).

I had the manual about memorized and knew exactly

what setting to use for every situation I was in.

So many special moments were captured on that camera.

I have begun the process of researching once again.

Digital cameras are a whole lot cheaper these days,

however, there are so many to choose from.

Whatever I decide on it will have a lot to live up to;

even if it is the EOS Rebel XS 18-15IS that I drool over...
