My Digital Camera

I'm not sure whether or not I mentioned it, but I bought a digital camera. I got the Canon PowerShot S330 Digital Elph, and it is awesome. It's easy to use, it's tiny, it takes great pictures, and it's easy and fast to transfer pictures to the computer. I use Photoshop for image editing instead of the software they provide, but that's just because I was already at least a little familiar with Photoshop, and didn't feel like bothering to learn the new software. I think I have convinced more than a couple of people that this is the way to go if you want to get a digital camera.

The only thing that I could possibly complain about is the video recording capabilities. I bought a 256k memory card that will hold about 10 minutes worth of video at the highest resolution. Unfortunately, the camera will only record video in clips of about 15 seconds. But, I didn't buy the thing for video. I bought it for still shots, and I am tickled with the quality of the camera. I carry it everywhere and take photos with reckless abandon. It doesn't cost anything to fire away, so I figure why not. If you're toying with the idea of a digital camera, I highly recommend the Digital Elph. I got mine new on Ebay for roughly $50 less than the price that the Amazon link is quoting.
