Sometimes the obvious can be stated so succinctly that it’s nearly sublime…
Your digital camera does no good sitting on top of your bureau. If your camera is too big or too bulky to take everywhere, consider trading down to a smaller unit. The market is full of “compact” units with excellent optics and resolution. I personally chose a 4-MegaPixel Canon Elph because of its pocket-friendly nature. You can’t snap photos when you don’t have a camera with you.
Amen.
You know, I’ve learned to do that myself. I have a full-sized digital SLR that cost me $1000. I love it. I think it takes amazing pictures. But, for day to day use, I carry a very small Konica Minolta camera. It’s my constant companion and I wouldn’t even think of not having it with me practically at all times. You can’t take a picture if your camera isn’t witcha, and I’ll tell ya; were I not carrying mine as regularly, I’d miss a lot of the shots I’ve enjoyed the most.
It’s something to consider as you purchase a camera, or as you stare at yours across the room wondering when it’ll get up on its own and start taking pictures.
Here’s a hint…
It won’t…
