A new camera for Debbie

For my birthday, I got a new camera. It’s beautiful and very fancy, at least for me. I was never happy with my old camera. It did not take good pictures, no matter how hard I tried. I guess Mike was tired of hearing my complaints and decided to get me a better camera.

Mike loves to spoil me and enjoys buying me things. I know I am very lucky. This time he consulted his friend,  a professional photographer, who suggested the Cannon Powershot  S110. It was his everyday camera and took good quality photos and he claimed that it was not very complicated to operate. That was said by a man who made his living taking pictures.

I decided to read the manual first, which I actually rarely ever do, but the camera intimidated me.  The manual was divided into a section that had a diagram of component and identified the parts (2 pages), basic guide/how to assemble and use (13 pages), Wireless LAN guide (42 pages), and then there is of course an advance guide (PDF manual). After the first 20 pages, I put it down and took the camera out for a walk. It was too overwhelming for me.

My new camera has wireless capabilities! I don’t even have a data plan for my phone. I try to live a simple life and use minimal technology. I think that is all about to change.

Tell me what you think.

In less than ten minutes he found operational tools on my old camera that I never knew existed. I guess I know who to talk to when I am having issues with my new camera.
