CAMERA'S AND DIETING

The ongoing camera saga continues. Last Sunday I went to Target in my quest for the perfect camera, as was in my last post. The same salesman who is there every Sunday saw me trying the camera's. (I am happy to report they DO carry camera's that take FILM)! Before he had seen me there, I had chosen several and tried them out. Even the camera with the "action" mode. All had the "hesitation" feature that I deplore.

When the salesman came out, I told him what I was looking for. He took the above mentioned camera for my viewing. I told him it wouldn't serve my needs. In his infinite wisdom he showed me the "action" mode and tried it as I also tried to tell him I'd already done so. He then said, "Ahh...this hesitates also". (no shit sherlock). Actually the man is very nice so pardon my sarcasm, it is my frustration showing. He showed me the camera they had that would serve my needs. Nope..it was the big, bulky camera that would need all the lens'.

After explaining again what I was looking for, he said that he would contact some people during the week and when he saw me "next Sunday" he would hopefully have an answer.

While I felt good that he remembered me, I am pretty sure he won't have an answer. I have a feeling that what I need only comes with a manual film advance, which sadly seems to not be made any longer.

AND.......if anyone wonders what dieting has to do with my wanting a camera...not a damn thing really. Except that when I take the camera on vacation, I may actually look good on film if the dieting works. :)
