Yay, New Camera!

On my lunch break, I walked over to Best Buy to buy a new camera to replace my old, dying one. Best Buy didn’t have many Canon options (about 4-5), which actually made my decision much easier. I decided on the Canon Powershot SD1100 IS in blue. Check out the difference in photo quality of these 2 cameras.

Much better, right?! I’m psyched to have a camera that works again. Hopefully, you guys will be seeing some gorgeous food photos soon! :)

My lunch was snapped with my old camera (blah), which is why all of the food looks fuzzy/like its glowing. It’s actually an interesting photo effect. Today’s lunch: Mal-made sandwich on whole wheat with ham, Swiss, and sprouts as well as carrots and dates on the side. I also might have eaten a spoonful of peanut butter right out of the jar (that I keep in my desk)… sometimes you just need peanut butter.

I have a long night ahead of me! I finish work here at 4:45 pm and immediately start my 5-hour shift at HW at 5:00 pm– just enough time to commute and change into my HW uniform. I have a feeling it’ll be a busy shift tonight, so hopefully, the time passes quickly.

The food that I packed for this afternoon and evening are Stonyfield blueberry yogurt with fiber sticks (afternoon snack) and a peanut butter and apple butter sandwich on Ezekiel bread, a banana, and some almonds (dinner).

I have a few more things to bust out before I leave for the day. Back to work I go!

    What do you normally drink with your meals? I see that you often show coffee, but I was curious about what you drink with lunch and dinner. (I’m trying to break myself of the Diet Coke habit and need suggestions besides water!)

    APT,

    Ice water. I’m a water freak! :) For beverages, I mostly stick to water, coffee, tea, soda water, wine, and beer. I’ll occasionally drink organic/all-natural juice.

    Nice camera! How do you like it so far? I’m looking for a small point and shoot myself – you can’t always take the big SLR camera with you!

    You should take a picture of you NEW camera with your new camera.

    That would be impressive.

    That’s the exact camera I have now, too. Mine is silver, though.

    Royal,

    Oh boy, that is quite the bet! How bad do you need/want the money? Personally, I’d just eat it… I could use $100! :)

    Wow, what a difference that camera makes, huh? I’ve never really had one die on me; I guess I just always buy a new one before I need to.

    Here’s my plan of action after lotsa thinking: I’m replacing my old nikon for a big SLR canon and use it on hlidays or special photos and occasions. And then replacing my cellphone (which is due to a free upgrade anyway) for a phone with a super cool camera, that I can take with me everywhere. : )
