My New Camera

I LOVE my new camera. It's a Kodak EasyShare Z1012 IS. It is a high definition camera and has the ability to not only take some dandy videos, but is able to do panoramic shots as well. And, it does macros beautifully. I never thought anything would take the place of my old Nikon in my heart, but this camera is coming close. The only thing I still like better on the Nikon is its ability to swivel to point the camera lens up or down as you watch the screen. Still, the Kodak has 10.1 mega pixels as opposed to 4 for the Nikon...so there's a trade off.

I'm still learning how to best use this camera. During my recent trip, I took pictures and played with different settings. I believe others could testify that I kept saying "GREAT HEAVENS, I am loving this camera!"


One of the things I've learned about this camera is that it is a bit of a memory hog. I never thought it possible, but I may actually need more than a 2 gig card for this beast. Until now, I'd never even come close to filling up a 1 gig card, but I now understand why the higher gig cards exist. In addition, I think getting a card that is a HDSD card , one that is made to handle the high definition that this camera is capable of, is something I need to consider. That's why I am going to be ordering these:

Seriously, together they're only $25. That's about a third less than you'd pay for ONE or the other, both together at that price is a sale price (Buy.com) I'm not about to pass up.
(Don't you love this macro!)
Yee gads, I love this camera...and I keep wondering if this Smoke on the Prairie would grow down here....
