As of today, I'm officially more than doubling my digital camera collection.
I've had my two D600 and a P7100 for a year now. Today, the Magic Brown Truck delivered the last of my four latest purchases..... S3500's all.
So I've gone from 3 digital cameras to 7..... at least until Saturday.
My neighbors, their kids & grandkids have unofficially 'adopted' me since my real family is 800 miles away. They invite me to all their family gatherings. In exchange, I take all sorts of photos for 'em just for fun. During an outing with their grandkids last fall, one of them was veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery interested in my camera. She then commented that none of them have a camera...... not even on their cell phones.
So, Santa going to arrive a couple weeks late. We're getting together this Saturday to exchange gifts and have a traditional holiday meal..... and digital cameras all the way around for the kids! (parents already have one) |

Excellent gift!
I tough about that also this ending year, about a gift for my 5 yo daughter, but the idea had not materialized 'cause i found too early for her. Another thing that I'm observing is that she likes a lot to make videos or herself and her friends. Maybe next year, I'll find something which fits her little hands,
If you can post any shot of the children receiving the gifts... It would be cool!
Cheers,
Renato |

I gave my Niece a pimped-up Olympus Trip, 3 films and a £20 Spielmann voucher. She is soooo happy!!
she loves retro.
