Uh-oh.

He wasn’t the only one, but he gave the best visual representation.

If it leads to planet P3X-774, then let’s go. If it leads to planet P3S-452, then let’s send The Won.

I’m considering getting a camera with an intact lens. Considering one. To translate into terms my mother would understand, I’m considering upgrading to a camera whose lens-flaw is farther toward the edge, so I can more easily crop it out from the final image.

They make them flawless. Really. If digital, next you have to worry about bum pixels on the sensor. Canon should have given you a new camera (and would have) if you looked really closely, or at all, and sent it back to the store. Maybe we can shame Canon into doing that now. Spread the word, people! Let’s use the power of the net! But you should have a fall-back plan, AG. Like what camera you will buy next. And take test shots before the 90-day return period. When it passes the test, then maybe you can go whole hog and read the manual. Not just for typos, mind you.

I couldn’t decipher that. You said “whole hog,” and then you just degenerated into the mumbo-jumbo my brother uses. Something about doing something manually, or perusing something “not just for typos” but for some mysterious unknown reason . . . just pure Jabberwocky . . .

(Yeah; right again. Darn it. Actually, if I’m going to take care of this in January, I should take care of it before I go to Seattle–there’s no point in having some percentage of my holiday pix messed up.)

There’s some decent $75-$100 digital cameras now, some up to 12 MP. Here,
for example–http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2075540012%204027&name=%2475%20-%20%24100
This goes up a bit–

The Canon and Fuji are pretty good. Nikon, Olympus, too, if you prefer. Sony is good except they make you use their memory sticks.
