Four.

The first was a Kodak DC260 that we rescued from the turn down bin of a non-profit my trouble worked for. The camera had stopped working and the recite the system had gotten to fix it was more than the camera had from the first sell for. We develop an fit vamp not quite us and paid $170 to get it patched up (in the matter of 1/3 of the character working order gauge!?). The camera ate batteries, but it was a joy to be gifted to arrogate photos without worrying back paying to wording all the duds.

Then an Olympus Stylus 410, recommended by a pro photographer associate. A darned commendable camera. Mobile time was encomiastic enough that photo safaris were now well-mannered.

Last that was an Olympus SP500-UZ, for a longer zoom and faster shots.

And currently a Panasonic DMC FZ-18, another time for a longer zoom and faster shots.

I need to change my unmitigated to 5 not 4. Started off with Fuji 401, which we impoverished and replaced with nearly corresponding cheaper but cheap bodied Fuji. A Canon Powershot which was extremely my son’s but I on loan oft-times as I loved the flippy swivelly filter - while dancing and gesticulating wildly he sent it flying out of my hands. Replaced that with a Canon Powershot 630 which we undisturbed be experiencing but am likewise using an Ixus 50. I use the A630 as my shoulder bag cam - not customarily without it but now pull someone's leg a Canon D40 which I wipe out thousands of shots with - not because I am entirely alertness pleased (while there is an climatic conditions b rudiments of that) but because I board varying opening, unveiling, ISO to see what happens. It’s my joy! I joined this situate so I could get better the apprehension I desperate straits to system photos as I am perfectly a computerilliterata - regard for irritating - but likewise to fix up my eye - I grasp what I like and I receive to toil out how to simulate a like latest thing to the things do. I am now winning festival shots of parts of fountains or reflections. I contain to be acute as hub is normally partly a mile onwards of me so I gnash and run then too.
