Week 9

, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

At uni, it's week 9, so here's what happend....


In my house, we get a new point and shoot camera nearly every week.

Up until a month or so ago, I was using a Samsung Digimax A40 (I think). It's 3 years old and has 3 or 4 MP. The view finder screen thing was VERY clear. I liked it. Only problem, you couldn't change any settings (well, I couldn't find a way to)

Then I used 4 other cameras and they all annoyed me for various reasons.
  • The screens were pixely and noisy
  • One didn't have an 'on button'...instead there was an 'on wheel'
  • Too big and if it could talk this particular camera would say 'Hi, I'm Cameron the camera. I'm a point and shoot but in my dreams, I'm a DSLR'
  • One kept grizzling that it was flat
  • One had a 'shield' thing over the lens, that you had to slide across when you wanted to take a photo.


For the past few days I have been using a Kodak M1033 HD(but mine is black) for a while. It looks better than all the others...but it's kind of weird. However, I am able to change the settings such as exposure times and other stuff that only people who know lots about cameras can explain. So, lets see if this one annoys me too.

Some photos (these are not here to show you how good/bad the camera is...because I only worked out how to make it take GOOD pictures 5 minutes ago)

It's everyone's favourite friend/sheep/crime fighter/celebrity chef...INTERSHEEP!


Please put your gum into the bin!!

Smelly guy:
Yesterday a guy with an extreme case of BODY ODOUR sat next to me in the computer pool. It was HORRIBLE! I was going to move, but there were no other free computers :frown: Come on, get yourself some anti perspirant!

Echidna
I went walking yesterday and saw an echidna. I didn't have a camera :frown: This echidna has a camera though...and a better one than mine!

FREE icecream
Miss D and I went to McDonalds yesterday afternoon for icecream. The staff made an icecream for someone in the drive though, but the customer didn't want it. The girl asked me if I wanted it. YESSSS! So, I got a free icecream :smile:

That's all for today my friends.

Intersheep is back :hat: Which camera does he like?

Wish I had some icecream now, I'd even pay for it. :frown:

Wow, a free icecream... yummy
:whistle: I prefer the Mc D. vanilla milk shake.


Regards to Intersheep too. :smile:

Mickey- Sometimes, I feel like I'm neglecting poor little Intersheep :frown: I don't know what camera he/she likes....
I have some icecreams in my fridge. Here, you can have one *passes Rainbow paddle pop* Do you have rainbow paddle pops in Ireland/Canada? They're made by Streets.

Ally- Yep it was. It was the 'expensive' $2.95 one too! :D I've never tried the milkshakes....I think you can get them here though. I think it's funny how you can buy beer at Germany Mc.Ds! I'll give regards to Intersheep :smile:

:confused: Never heard of a rainbow paddle pop. Can you post an image/link?

Because it's so hard to google it yourself, here's a link P:

Thanks, it very colourful.

I guess the closest thing here is aTwister.

We have them. But I haven't had one for ages...I think the colours were different...? Yellow perhaps?

Golly bar- Vanilla icecream on a stick. That's soooo original!
There are quite a few there that we don't have, such as a GB.

Brunch is strange...and pink!

Wibly wobbly wonder- don't have that one. Looks colourful :smile:

Magnums are my favourite.

galadriel 17. October 2008, 23:55

Magnums are good, but they're expensive :frown: They're around $3-4 here...you can get a 2L tub for $4-5 (or cheaper when icecream is on special)

Mickeyjoe_irl 18. October 2008, 00:56

Yeah, I don't have them often. Only when I'm feeling rich. But they're nice when I do.
