Ain't Technology Wonderful?

We had a wonderful digital camera for our trip - served us well for quite a few years - until recently. A slip of the hand saw said camera falling to the floor (in its protective case) for a seemingly innocuous landing. Said camera still works wonderfully, but for one thing - the small LCD screen at the rear produces no image. Which would be fine except that there is no other viewfinder. Of course, this happens in good enough time to ensure that any repair will be completed long after we have left said repair shop in our wake, which sent us around the shops looking for an alternative. Fortunately the end-of-year sales have come at the right time, so we have been able to pick up a fine Fuji 5MP model with 10x optical zoom. It does everything except order pizza! We are now able to provide some image coverage of our trip with new camera, knowing that we have caught the desired image before downloading to the computer hours after the possibility of a resnap has passed.

Aren't hiccoughs wonderful.
