This was the Christmas of the digital camera at our house. The older kids got Canon SD1000’s and the little girl got a Disney point and shoot. We managed to take about 5000 pictures during the holidays.
I can’t say enough about the SD1000. It’s difficult to take a bad picture with this point and shoot. The display is big and the face-focus technology ensures pictures of friends and family look good. If you are looking for a reasonably priced point and shoot, pick one up.
The Disney camera was something we picked up knowing we were heading south for the holidays. The pictures are ok, but in the hands of an eight year old, the sky is the limit. The picture above was taken by one such eight year old.
I remember the 110 camera my parents bought for me one Christmas many years ago. Ten minutes later all the exposures were used up and I was ready to get them developed. I’m not sure that camera ever saw a second roll of film. The Disney camera has taken a couple hundred pictures and they are all on my daughter’s computer. She is quite proud of them.
