New Camera

This little Sony Cyber-Shot (7.2 mega pixels & 10X zoom) camera has served me well. I acquired it many years ago with my Shoppers Drug Mart Optimum points. For the last couple of years, I have not been able to download photos directly from the camera, even with a new cable.

I had to purchase a card reader and remove the card from the camera each time I wanted to download photos. An extra step, for sure, but still relatively easy to accomplish.

My Optimum points have slowly been adding up and today I finally had enough, the very top level, to purchase a new camera. I've been waiting and planning for this day for months.

Here is my new camera...
To my surprise, when I went into the store this morning a big sign greeted me...Seniors Day - 20% off regular price items.
What a bonus day for me! Between the senior's discount and my Optimum points, I got this beautiful Nikon Coolpix L340 (20.2 mega pixels & 28X zoom) camera for under $20. I am doing a happy dance today! I'll will be spending some time this weekend playing with my new toy, you can bet on that.

    1. The photo quality is going to be so much better. I will have to spend some time reading the manual. It looks like it has a bunch of cool features.

  3. What a great deal! I have a really nice camera that I paid a pretty penny for (I should have had you shop for me) but I find that I usually just use my phone. I love my photo editing apps I have there.
