i’ve had a string of point-and-shoot cameras in my life. i started out as a kid with a little no-name 110 film camera with a flipflash. remember those? next came a series of cheap drugstore 35mm models. a few years ago, i was the proud owner of a canon elph, 2 megapixels. it was a great little camera, but it was lost to me and i was almost a year without a replacement.

in that interim year i researched and debated what would take its place. the digital medium had become mainstream and the price of my dream-but-within-reason camera dropped. when a combination of tax return and a refurbish program came into my sphere, i was able to purchase my current camera. the canon proshot1 makes me more than happy, combined with its 1 gb card and extra battery. it also takes great pictures.
