I’ve thus far neglected to mention that Sarah recently bought a Canon S500 5 megapixel point-and-shoot camera.
We found that we weren’t taking our big camera with us when we knew in advance that it would be cumbersome to have. Koninginnedag in Amsterdam was a good example of that. As a result, we didn’t take any photos, so it seemed justifiable to get a second, smaller camera, that we can be reasonably sure of feeling comfortable enough with to take it with us whenever there might be the slightest chance that we would want to take pictures.
It’s a great little camera, although I haven’t learned how to use it yet. Sarah’s taken it to Providence with her and I’ve been busy learning my way around our new A2.
