Early 2007 we finaly gave up and bought a digital camera. Compared to digital the good old chemistry had become rediculously expensive and slow. Still being frustrated with the fact that I am sitting there with my Canon SLR bodies and nice collection of lenses and there is hardly anybody selling good quality of color negative or slide film I did not feel like making a to large investment. So we bought a simple family camera: a Canon Powershot A540. Very nice and handy and by now we have shot some 5000 pictures with it.

Last week Thursday I bought a second digital camera, a Konica Minolta Dimage Z3. It was second hand for only 15% of the price of 2004. Good deal. The camera is still reasonably up to date, pretty good lens and 4M pixel is not to bad. One particular reason to buy this one was that I like the way it looks so much. Good thing is that it also uses SD cards, same as my Canon.
After trying it out the last couple of days I came to the next phase: uploading the pictures onto my hard drive. Surprise! It uses another type of USB cable then any of the types I have lingering around....
