The new camera
Today we went through the process of buying a new camera for Donna. Last time we tried this it was a complete disaster. . .
Donna's first, and last, digital camera was an Olympus Camedia C50 zoom and she fell in love with it. After Richard dropped it onto the corner of the Great Pyramid at Giza she needed a new one. They didn't make them anymore and repair was too costly.
We replaced it with a Canon A560 which came to be known fairly quickly as "that stupid camera". It wasn't helped by a fault that drained the batteries in a couple of hours and made the camera run hot.
It took me a couple of months to get the hint and in the end we ended up getting the Camedia repaired. As an "insurance" against future problems we also bought two secondhand Camedias from eBay.
But alas, all have now reached the stage where they are beyond economic repair.
