Ohboyohboyohboy!

I am currently feeling a little bit guilty and a whole lotta  excited.  After much agonizing over if I should get an additional camera I reached a decision. 

First, a bit of background.  I love my dSLR, it is great, it takes amazing pictures and I love the control it give me.  However, I am realizing that it is a tad big to always have with me.  Hence, I miss a lot of opportunities for taking good pictures.  Namely while I am off running or biking or something of that sort.  Not to mention I would be crushed if something bad were to happen to my little friend.  This made me realize that it might be useful to own a little point and shoot that I could cart around with me, you know, for those moments when you wish you had a camera. 

This realization lead to a lot of agonizing over the many options available.  Trying to determine what was important to me - long range zoom, size, cost, picture quality, etc...  Matt laughed at me on a nightly basis as I scoured the net to read reviews and look at pictures that different models took.  I took multiple trips to the camera store to hold and play with the models I was considering.  Asked multiple peoples opinion.  I wanted this camera to be perfect, a match made in camera heaven.  

For awhile I was thinking that I wanted a super zoom camera,  I fell out of love with that idea.  Next up I decided that I wanted something small and cheap.  Less to worry about if I should fall off my bike and crush it (I have been known to have issues staying attached to my bike).   In the end I went big, I figured I would be most likely to use a camera that I really liked.  I am now the proud owner of the Canon S95.  I am pretty excited!

This new development has implications for you dear blog reader, you will get more pictures to compliment the text.  Hopefully this will make things more fun!
