Gone Digital

We have debated it, disagreed about it, and discussed it, but we finally decided it was time: time to get a digital camera. Actually, we already had one — an old Apple QuickTake 200 that I got for free several years ago with a PowerBook purchase — but it was so simple and had such low resolution that we rarely used it.

After considering several alternatives and turning to my always-trusted Consumer Reports, we decided on the Kodak EasyShare DX6340.  It appears to provide a good balance of features, ease of use, and price, and it has consistently received good reviews. Last Friday night we went to our local Target and purchased the camera, a 128MB memory card, and a miniature umbrella (completely unrelated to the camera purchase).

I took this picture of big, fat, lazy Claude on Friday night. Lissa then had the Women's Fall Brunch at church on Saturday morning. She took several pictures and created a web page and slide show with the click of a button in iPhoto, which immediately recognized and imported pictures from the camera.

Hopefully we have made a wise decision with the 6340. If so, you should begin to see lots of pictures on this site.
