I know that feeling. I've had 2 Canons and 1 Nikon stolen over the years. I forgot I had the Rebel film camera, and I still have a (worn out) Nikon F4 around here somewhere. I also have a 1951 Voightlander 35mm that works better than the Rebel. The Voightlander looks and weighs like it was carved from a single block of metal, but is a real jewel to work. I've sold others, lost some..I'd have a museum if I still had all of them

Got another new camera, because I found out my Casio can't take loud noises (audio comes out staticy), so my new one is a Sony DSC-W120 (silver). I like it a lot, the only things that I don't like is that sometimes it has difficulty focusing (it has constant focus) and that you can't zoom in when recording videos (even with digital zoom).

Cell phone's still the same.

I mentioned previously that I appreciated the opitcal quality of Nikon. In the images below, there is a moo cow in the deep background above the road (third) locomotive. I had to blow the image way up to show it.

A moo cow eh? Are there cows out that way that make sounds other than moo?

OK OK. Have a little sympathy for a grandpa that has been associating with his grandsons ages 2 & 4.

Well, a while ago I got this speck on the interior lens of my Sony DSC-W120 and I can't get rid of it. It's not too noticable when not zoomed in, but when it's zoomed in, it's VERY noticable. So, I now have a second camera, a Canon SD1100 IS. It's a fairly good camera. The only thing I don't like is that it often makes green dialight LEDs come out blue, but then again, a lot of cameras do that, so it's not a major problem.

Also new, I was eligable for a phone upgrade on Saturday, so without hesitaton, I netted myself an iPhone4 (16GB), and I LOVE it!

Cool. iPhone4 pictures are allowed for submissions, so if you want to use the phone to submit pictures as submissions when things get going again, go ahead and do so.

That is good, because I have an iPhone 4 and I will probably be using it to get some crossings like when I'm out of state and I don't have my camera.

It is rather handy, although after uploading the photo onto your computer, the picture looks like it was scanned, rather than taken from a camera, haha. The iPhone4S also has image stabilization, which is something I desperately need with my vids, as I shake a lot, but all in all, I can't really complain: it's probably the best phone camera around.

My pictures all ways turn out good. If you look at my Photo of the month an my train photo of the month thoses pictures were taken from my phone. I am quite happy with it. If you don't already have one I would definitely recommend one.
