New digital camera

One the trip to Hangzhou, my very robust and dependable Canon Powershot S200 failed. It has been very reliable. I just put it on my back poket, shot and go. The photo it took now looks like watercolor painting. To not miss the beauty of the West Lake, I bought my fourth digital camera - Nikon Coolpix S200 at Hangzhou GoMe electro supermarket. The whole set (camera/acc, 1G SD, carrying bag, extra battery, LCD screen) costs 1980 CNY. One thing interesting, the new one has the same model number S200 as the old one.

The review - "Nikon's new Coolpix S200 is a stylish, ultra-compact and eminently pocketable 7 megapixel digital camera. The S200 is currently the smallest (3.6in/91.5 mm x 2.2in/56.5 mm), lightest (4.4 oz/125 g), and thinnest (0.76 inches/19mm) digital camera in Nikon's product catalog. The S200 is tough enough to go just about anywhere and simple enough to be used successfully by just about anyone. The snazzy little S200 (like the original Olympus Stylus) is the sort of P&S pocket camera a professional photographer might carry for grab shots and to record personal images while on assignment".
