So did I tell you I lost my digital camera canon S30 (I even couldn't remember if the model number is right...) in LA?

It was in a sega game room and we were playing table hockey. I put it underneath of the table so that it wouldn't drop off from somewhere higher when we had the radical game. I got some shots but still lost the game and we left with some discussing about the miscalculation of the score machine. We talked and walked and laughed until when we almost got home, I found my camera wasn't with me. It was already around 1 hr later when we had the hockey game.

We rushed home, drove the car, and got back to the accident spot. We looked down the table, it wasn't there. We looked around other tables, nothing was underneath of them. We asked several counters and none of those ladies got any cameras returned. We wondered some goddamn kid found it and kept it. We left out number to the counter but no one called to us since then. I lost my 3 yr old 17,000nt buddy and all my vegas photos.

***************************

So this is my new baby... casio EX-Z750, who's only 2 hr old and also w/ a value of 17,000nt plus 1G SD card. I know you're gonna say things like: 'omg... i can't believe you dropped your professional taste so dramatically!', or 'what does casio know about photography?' But the truth is, I was actually looking for something small but also has manual function, but canon now only got those A series craps (they even did A520 in pastic cover!), and other fellows like nikon or olympus don't even do manual function on those tiny consumer models. You know what the second choice they recommended me? Samsang. So I made up my mind on casio before they started to show me panasonic, asus, sony, benQ, nokia, motorola..... (no only some of them made digital cameras and others still stick on their mobile business. But who knows? Their mobiles have come w/ a camera, haven't they?)

I hope this new baby can stay with me for another 3 years, or even longer.
