How Well Do You Use the Technology You Already Have?

Sometimes I sit back and realize that I don’t have to run out and have the newest innovations in technology. Sometimes I see that what I already have is just fine for now.

I have an older model Olympus digital camera that I bought in 2000 and I LOVE it. I want a digital SLR one day, but in the meantime I will be sticking with my Olympus. My friends laugh at me. Compared to most digital cameras today, mine is massively heavy. The battery latch comes loose and the zoom is stuck so that it either zooms all the way in or all the way out, nothing in between. But, the thing takes phenomenal pictures. This might be in part because I am so intimately familiar with all of the settings that I know just how to use the camera for the best results.

I can be out with friends and we are all taking photos. I have my little 2.1 megapixel mammoth camera and they all have feather-weight, state-of-the-art cameras with so many megapixels I’ve lost count and when we all e-mail each other copies of our shots, mine are always the best, the sharpest, the best lit. It just goes to show that it is not always having the newest technology as much as it is knowing how to Use the technology you already have.

That said, I just realized tonight I am down to just one SD card for my camera. I need to order some more as soon as I have a spare minute.

I have a couple 256 SD cards that I can’t use. Would you want them?? I got them for jobs, but they ended up nothing was on display in the store to put them in, so they are an off brand. FREE though…you might love them.

Just get me your address.
