This week we decided it was time to upgrade our digital camera.  We had an HP Photosmart 935 camera, and we’ve taken over 6000 pictures with it since we bought it in October 2003!  That’s over 150 pictures per month!  It was a great camera and it took fantastic pictures.  Truth be told I’m going to miss it a little.

These days, with so many options, picking out a digital camera can be a long and arduous process.  We had a few important criteria including quick writing speed, long battery life, both automatic and manual controls, and positive reviews.  I spent a few days doing some research before we finally settled on the Canon PowerShot A540. It is both a point-and-shoot and a manual camera, allowing us to take traditional pictures and try some new things.  We’re looking forward to taking lots of great pictures!

Here are a few early ones (actually, these are pictures #33 and #35)!!
