BoB’s New Camera: Part 3
I purchased a Canon SD1000 about two weeks ago and in my use up to this point, I am very happy with it. I actually purchased the camera from butterflyphoto.com, which I linked to, but I made the purchase through Amazon. Since Amazon already has my credit card information, I would already be exposed if they lost it. I feel that purchasing items through the Amazon marketplace is helping my online security. Yes, Amazon is a huge target and I assume that there are constant attempted hacks going on against them. At the same time, they are big enough and have been around long enough that I hope they have the security bit down OK. I certainly don’t expect them to do something crazy like TJX. That seemed to be asking for someone to steal information. So I get a great camera from a good company without having to spread my credit card information around to more parties. Butterflyphoto.com shipped the camera the same day they got the order and it was well packaged when it got to me, so definitely no complaints there. The camera takes great pictures outdoors. I don’t have a UV filter on, but I’m very happy with the color and crispness on the photos. Indoor pictures are certainly OK for a pocket camera like this, though I would expect better from a DSLR camera. I have all the settings set to auto, and no intention of messing with them. This is really what I wanted, a camera that is no hassle. Today, I found something that would make it even sweeter though. The EyeFi 2GB SD Wireless card is supposed to work with a Mac or Windows PC. It seems like an interesting device and I will definitely check it out when it’s released.
