Three Or More Tuesday-Cameras

It is time for Three or More Tuesday again!

Thank you to Tam over at The Gypsy's Corner for hosting for us.

Today my theme is cameras.

First is my camera that uses.....what do you call that stuff?

Oh yeah.....film.

Does anyone use cameras with film anymore?

In the picture above, the flash is up.

The camera does not work if that part is not up.

Once on a trip, my husband was having difficulty getting this camera to work.

I finally realized why after he had tried to get several pictures of me.

It was his baseball hat.

The bill part was bumping the flash part and keeping it from fully opening.

After that I would have to tell him to move his hat.

It is a Chinon Reflex Zoom.

There is a tele converter to attach to get even more zoom.

We got it in 1990 and it has served us well over the years.

Because of the size people often thought it was a video camera.

Nope it is not.
That strap would fit over our hand and that green button takes the picture.
I sometimes found it kind of bulky though.

Then we got our first digital camera.
We didn't have any choice since it was free.
Hubby's work was closing down and in clearing everything out,
this camera was never claimed as an expense by whomever bought it.
So it was given to us.
It has such a small screen.
I have been complaining about the small screen.
And was getting jealous of those with a camera with a bigger screen.

Here is the front of it.
It is a Canon Digital IXUSi with 4 mega pixels.
The zoom goes to 5.7x.

A side view.

See? The zoom lens does not even come out very far.

Not a lot of zoom capabilities.

It is a thin camera too.

It fits in my pocket or my purse easily.

I had two batteries for it. It uses special type of battery.

I was need to recharge them quite often.

I am beginning to master closeups and pictures using the macro setting.

And learning how to use more of the features on it.

Then voila Hubby decides to get me this camera.

Look at the size of the screen.

Such a relief to not be squinting at the screen.

It is a Canon Power Shot A1000IS.

It has an image stabilizer.

Zooms to 16X. Has 10.0 mega pixels.

And it is so much easier to jump between functions.

Like from normal to macro and back again.

Now that I am starting to understand some of the functions on the

previous camera,

I will learn them faster on this one I am sure.

This new one will still fit in my purse just fine.

Maybe not to well in my pocket.

Depends on the pocket.

I am very happy to get this new camera.

I will have fun getting acquainted with it and

learning to take terrific pictures with it.

Let's compare the view screens again.

Above the first digital camera we got.

And now the new one.

What a difference!
Happy Tuesday!
