Overall, 2008 was a tough year and I really am glad its over [wish I had a glass of wine right about now], only to be able to look back on. I am soo looking forward to 2009! I’m sure there is more stuff I did in 2008 but on to 2009…
My Canon SD630 arrived tonight
I finally got my replacement camera today. This is my 3rd digital canon camera and just glad to have a camera again to take pictures with. Borrowing Danielle’s and asking Matt for his RAZR was getting old.
I just got it and took a few photos but haven’t played with it much yet. I’ll let you know what I think but for the most part, I love it! I really like the large LCD but worried about scratches and also like that you can take great quality video clips. I used that feature a lot on my other camera but the fps is much higher on this one.
