New digital camera

I haven't been posting pictures lately, because my old digital camera wasn't really mine, and I had to leave it back at El Paso, and my camera phone really doesn't take good enough pictures. I had been waiting to see if my new company would buy one for me, but they bought a couple to share across the department, so I ordered one yesterday.


I did some research at the Digital Camera Resources page, a great site that has just about everything you could want for researching a camera. Digital Photography Review is also a great site. I compared cameras and decided on the Canon PowerShot SD450 because I wanted to spend less than $400, have a camera that did good pictures and video, and was small enough to fit in my pocket. The aesthetics of this camera was also a factor. The best price on shopper.com and pricegrabber.com is $266.52 with tax and shipping (it was about $400 a year ago). I also ordered a 1Gig SD memory card, it only comes with a 16Meg card. When it gets here, expect to see some new pictures.
