Last week, me and the girlfriend were on the lookout for a relatively cheap Bluetooth headset to buy for my birthday; so while looking around the various stores that sell electronics, we both noticed some quite nice digital camera’s being on the shelves nowadays.

That was Tuesday last week … but the image of the camera kept haunting me with this little voice telling me to “Kill all white p.. — err — “You want this camera”.

See, our current Kodak camera, a cheap-ass CX4310, with its mere 2.0 megapixel doesn’t really cut it in this day and age — especially if you want to take pictures of some small objects (like animals) at a distance… Birds in your garden end up as pixelated blurs, and well, pixelated blurs are so 20th century.

Anyways, we went into town again last Saturday to find the store that sells said product at the lowest price (hey, I’m Dutch) and bought it for no less than 189 EUR. That really was a bargain if you take into account all the other shops are selling it at a steady 249 EUR price.

The new camera sports an impressive 7.1 megapixel which results in pretty sharp images; the drawback of course being that it takes ages before you’ve transfered all the images to a PC…

So we have been playing with that thing the whole weekend and as you can guess, the battery is almost dead — a universal AC/DV adapter for indoor-usage would really save on batteries, so that’s what I’m gonna get later today.

Here are some of the images I shot last weekend:

Of course, my rabbit.	Zoomed-in on a clover-flower.
A bee on a flower.	This duck is a regular visitor to our garden, searching and begging for food.
As a ‘bonus’ — the sudden “Black Screen Of Death” I got while browsing the Kodak site with my MacBook Pro.
