The death of my camera

About 2.8 years ago I bought my first nice semi-cheap digital camera (a Canon Powershot A560). It has gone all over the world and has captured many adventures in my life. This last week Jared and I drove up to the Snowbowl (the local ski resort) which overlooks all of Northern Arizona. We wanted to capture the beauty of the fresh snowfall and the sunset. I took gorgeous pictures of the sunset, Jared and I and the dollar cheeseburgers we picked up for dinner. In the middle of all this picture taking my camera started flashing MEMORY CARD ERROR and beeping a pitiful little beep. It took a moment to realize that my camera was slowly dying. The next day I went back to upload all of my pictures from our latest adventures and there was nothing there. It was like I had never taken the pictures. My heart was crushed. It actually still is. I am now in the market for a new camera. If any of you photographers out there have any suggestions on which camera to buy I would love to have them. I dedicate the rest of this blog entry to some of my favorite memories that I have been able to capture with my camera. Enjoy.
