dont i feel stupid...

So when my mom was visiting last thanksgiving my camera broke and I was gutted cuz i had just gotten it for my birthday that august. Everytime I turned it on, a white screen would show up and it wouldnt take any pictures at all. So my mom kept reminding me to call Kodak but I was just so busy with other shit that I didnt get around to it til this past Monday [Im the worst fucking procrastinator]

So Im on the phone with the guy who's gonna sort it out so I can send my camera in to be repaired and Im just playing around with my camera and I put some brand new batteries in it that Richard and I had bought a few days earlier. So I turn the camera on and the motherfucker works to my surprise.

By this point, Im so embarassed by my stupidity that I cant muster up the courage to tell the guy on the phone of my dumbassness. So I sit there on the phone with him for another 15 minutes while he puts the order in for my repair.

Later, Richard looked at the bottom of my camera and saw that it only works with lithium batteries.. So I guess when I used all the shitty alkaline ones in it, it started fucking up. And then when I put lithium batteries in it, it decided to work again.

I felt real stupid about it.. but at least I didnt go out and buy a new camera and then the old one started to work again

 

hahahaha, oh heather

my camera has a rechargeable battery, which makes my life 4 billion times easier, and prevents mistakes like that!

 

i have pretty much the first digital camera ever made. standard issue 2003 grad presents. weighs a solid 4 pounds. 2 megapixels.

i'd show you, but i think if a camera could take a picture of itself, the universe would implode.

 

haha 2 megapixels? awww. oh well, at least you have one

 

i'd probably make that mistake too...at least it works now yay

 

Henceforth the size of one's penis, or lack-thereof, shall be measured by their camera's amount of megapixels...

 

How strangely Monty Python-like/John Cleese.

 

my mom's has 5 megapixels

 

Daaaayum. I almost spilt a beer over that.

 

so is buying an expensive digital camera sort of like buying a hummer then?

 

i'm gonna get me one with 10 :H

 

Seems to be, these days.

Perhaps it's the west coast equivelent.

 

Mine has 6 megapixels, and 12X optical zoom, it's bladdy fantastic:

 

canon have just released their new camera, which has 10 megapixels

i should imagine it'll cost an absolute bomb

 

Uh, yeah... I've got a Samsung (I cannot stand that company's business ethics) digimax a402. It has a broken LCD screen (you have to take 50 pictures and delete 42 or something, by guessing and clicking away), 4.0 megapixels, and an SHD lens...

It's pretty much useless because of the TSA at Philedelphia International Airport.

Oddly enough there's a Canon factory down the street. It's the only industrial business park like that in the county, besides the hospital... I know a good half-dozen people who work for them.
