ein: photos. from trip. to ashland, oregon. with [livejournal.com profile] queenpam. we saw caves (photographed) and forests (photographed) and plays (not photographed). was lots of fun. she's written a more detailed trip report.

zwei: pam took most of the photos. because my camera was broken. the infamous canon e18 error. (which means "lens stuck" and i do not know why they couldn't have spared the seven extra bytes it would have taken to print "lens stuck" instead of "e18". but there it is.) i have managed to un-stick the lens, but the camera is at least six years old now and i am considering getting a new one. is anyone can recommend something not too expensive but not too idiotproofed either? i like playing around with manual exposure stuff, but really i leave the thing in auto mode most of the time. don't need lots of megapixels. lots of zoom would be nice, and i'd like to try this high dynamic range thing.

I'm very fond of my A620, which has 4x zoom, manual mode, and great auto settings. Canon has another similar camera with 6x zoom, model # forgotten.

My brother's Canon also unfortunately expressed the very same error. Sorry to hear that.

recently got a Canon of her own, and I'm sure she'll mention it here. THe thing I like best about hers is the uick time-to-first exposure (less than 3 seconds, if I remember right), and short time-between-shots (1.8 seconds). Of course, that would necessitate going with Canon.

I'd stay away from both Olympus and Sony, both because they tend to use non-"standard" memory card formats (xD and MemoryStick respectively.) Any camera I get will need to use SD[HC], as that's what my computer/PDA accept. And the Wii uses SD, too. And so does my cell phone. And so on.
