Say hello to my little friend!





The CASIO Exilim EX-P505 Pro Digital Camera



Well folks, my camera finally died. It still works, after a fashion, but the pictures it takes are incredibly bad now, like a TV tuned with a bad arial to a station with a weak antenna. Ghosts, blurring, and bad interlacing are the result...

So, after getting the right kind of permission, I went to the local Denki shop and found the above camera. The original price was ¥54,000. Quite a lot eh? They were clearing them out though, and decided to let me have the display model – after a thorough inpection to make certain that there was nothing wrong with it: there wasn't – for only ¥39,000; and they even threw in a "saabisu": that is to say, an extra power adaptor that the display model was using.

So now I have the camera that you see above, along with the power adaptor and a battery and other goodies. I hope to post photos taken with this beast soon.
