I finally was able to get one more item on the list of multimedia equipment I should have gotten a long time ago: a digital still camera. People weren't kidding when they say that a lot of the money you get from doing video work ends up going into purchasing more equipment. Anyway, I ended up getting a Canon Powershot A60. I know that it's only 2 Megapixels, but for what I intend to use it for, I feel that it's sufficient. The maximum resolution is 1600 by 1200 pixels. Supposedly, that's borderline okay if I print out a full page picture, but I won't be doing that much. I'll be taking pictures for web use or for video. DVD resolution is only 720 by 480 pixels, so the camera's way more than capable. From what I could tell, the A60 is actually a lot better than other 2 Megapixel cameras and could rival some 3 Megapixel cameras out there (except for the A70). Well, we have a family friend who is one of the higher-ups at Canon, so I could have purchased one through her at a discount, but their internal company sales aren't until around June. So anyway, I bought one yesterday, and I already started putting it to good use today at church. It's for a super secret project that won't be revealed until four or five months from now... ^_^

I wonder if a camera is allowed at Club J this Friday. Most secular clubs usually frown upon bringing a camera in (not that I've ever tried.) Anyway, this should be fun. Too bad the name Threshing Floor didn't quite fly.
