I have two
cameras. Both Nikons. Both Coolpix. One has a 22x zoom and one has a 7x zoom. I
use both, but I favor the latter more. It is my ‘go to’ equipment. It has a
touch screen that can’t be beat. Unfortunately the camera broke. To repair it
would cost the same amount to replace it altogether. I bulked at the thought of
a new model and wanted to keep the old one. My husband thought that was
ridiculous. I disagreed. I LOVE this camera. Local stores wouldn’t have it in stock, it was old
merchandise. So I searched Amazon and Ebay. There, I found some reconditioned
ones, just like mine, at a fraction of the cost. It was tempting, but I passed,
since I have already replaced the camera once via this method and it didn’t
last. So I opted against it, this time around. Instead I bought the same model,
NEW and factory sealed. I believe it’ll be worth every dime. It arrived
yesterday. I plopped the battery in it, attached the strap, put in a memory
card and I’m back in business. I like
the comfort of it’s familiarity. It makes me happy. Life is good. How did we
ever shop before the internet?
