For the last year I have been renovating a house about 3 hours from where I live and we just sold it. Actually the closing date is in 10 days. Anyways, while I've been at this new town, Port Alberni, I have got some renovation work on the side but some people want to see what I have done in the past so I' decided to buy a digital camera. I've decided to give up my big wooden box camera on a tripod where I hide under a black tent and put in huge photographic slides.
The camera I bought is very small and I need my glasses on just to see what buttons to push let alone read any information that appears on the screen. As far as connecting it to the computer I have to wait for the wife ( who is the the blight........ I mean the light of my life) to get over her migraine.
I want to take some pictures of the house before it sells and the bathrooms that I am doing now. I might even take some pictures of things I DIDN'T do because if I had the opportunity i COULD do it.
Either way, I'm enjoying it............I think. I even took a picture of my self on the toilet this morning and played with the enlargement feature. The camera I mean.......in case you were thinking trashy.
My new toy. Wouldn't have bought it if we hadn't sold the house. A friend came along with me just to see me spend money. I have a reputation as being somewhat..... frugal. My word, not his.

Anymore I think a digital camera is a must. There's not much better method of documentation.
I purchased the Canon A80 for our project.

I have a kodak dx7440 with a 4x optical zoom and 4.0 mega pixels. I take pics of everything, but usually at 3.1 megapixels due to storage capacity of internal storage.

Hey Wellington. Just moved out of the house today with closing day on Friday. On the way south, heading for home in Sidney saw a house that took our fancy I think we just bought another in Ladysmith.

Still haven't installed the computer program but am told that 5.1 big pixies will work fine.
