kodak m763

Around lunchtime yesterday I decided I've had it with my old digital camera (HP Photosmart 435 - a zoomless clunker of a camera) and needed to purchase the camera I've had my eye on for about a week now. So, also on my lunch break yesterday, I went to Best Buy and readied myself to buy the camera. There was a real problem though; Best Buy seems to lack floor people during the lunch hour on Tuesdays. So for little under twenty minutes I'm double-checking my price comparisons versus similar cameras and their accessories, assuming that if I look confused enough that SOMEBODY would come along and offer to assist me. No such luck. I left as I had arrived - without a camera.

Forward to an hour and a half ago. Best Buy is now fully stocked with floor representatives. (Tuesdays must be the "call off sick day" or "lets all go eat at Friday's day") As luck would have it, I immediately was greeted by a stout young gentleman who looked more irritated about working during the lunch hour than he was about his weight. (If you can't read into that, he was heavy-set... come to think of it, maybe today is "lets all go eat at Friday's day" and he got left behind...) I told him to stick around, as I was checking out the prices on memory cards and was heading for the camera next. Getting this thing a day later than I had wanted wound up being a splendid trip down Serendipity Lane. Just today one of the 4GB ($27) cards went on sale for a mere $5 more than the 2GB ($22) card of the same brand. (Now THATS a deal!) The floor rep then hooked me up with my camera (the Kodak M763) and I was on my way. For the rest of my lunch break, I read the manual and played with it a bit. (Don't wanna go ruining an investment)

I'll need this camera in the upcoming months since Reese & I are so intent on building our home and I'd like to document everything that I possibly can during the process. I also haven't been taking pictures regularly since about 2005. That will all change now.
