Camera Gone

Motorcycle and boat

Yesterday, I woke up early and thought I should go down to the beach, not too far from where I live, for some shoots for this blog. After a number of clicks enough to consume my battery power, I headed back home to load them to my computer. While plugging my camera to the computer, the unexpected happened - I experienced a mild electric shock. And lo and behold, I broke my digicam after dropping it on the concrete floor.

Today, I brought my camera to the shop and the diagnosis was very poor. Digicams are highly sensitive to impact so it could be the end of my Konica-Minolta Dimage X31. The shop owner simply took my number and promised to call if he finds a service center in Manila he can refer me to. I never know if I have to wait forever. I felt really bad and imagined only if the manufacturer offers to replace my cam will my spirit be appeased.

Now, I am resigned to buying a new digicam to continue posting photos on my blog. I searched the net and initial results pointed to Canon A and SD series as the best sellers in the point and shoot category. Personally, I think getting a Nikon would be a wise decision too. Haven't made up my mind yet. Wanna make sure I will be getting a good one but not so pricey.

Here are some of the photos from the memory card of my unfortunate digicam.
