We got a new digital camera today (7/11/09), the Sony DSC-W290 ($250).

The one you see in the middle is the FujiFilm FinePix F10 6.3 megapixel (which Jamie recommended) got to picture 9999 and lost 100 pictures (I did recover them) we took on Ridgeway lake near Ouray CO out on the boat with the girls tubing, so we couldn’t trust it any more. We got about 3.5 years, and 10,000 photos of it.

As you can see below the amount of use for this camera on Flickr has been declining in the past year.

The camera on the left is my first digital camera the Sony DSC-P5 3.2 megapixel which I think I paid over $475 for. I got 6,400 pictures out of this camera from 4 years of use.

And my first camera before that was a Olympus Stylus analog film camera. Not sure on the model # but it took great photos which I recently had scanned. I got 1,400 pictures out of this camera from 13 years of use.

One of the things I have figured out over the years is to buy a camera with a a great battery, because once it dies and you can’t buy a replacement you have to buy another camera.
