I bought a new digital camera. The one that I use now was rolled out in 2003 and still takes good pictures, but the indicator lamps don't work to show when it is on, or being charged. I can continue to use it, but I got new one because when I went up the JR Tower in Sapporo last November, several school kids came to me and asked me to take their picture. It was my pleasure to do so, but the direction that they want me to take it at was not good. I explained that their faces would disappear in the dark due to the sun. They looked like they couldn't understand me, so I took the picture as a trial to show how it would become if it was taken against the sun.
However, the picture I took was nice and fine. I was so surprised and felt embarassed. I wasn't aware of how the function of the camera had become remarkably advanced. I decided to renew my camera at that time.
I've been examining several cameras from various manufacturers but all of the cameras have the same original functions so it was not easy to choose one. After considering it for a while, I selected one from Fujifilm because my present camera is a product of this company and I thought it would be easier to use one from the same company.

Nice, little and handy camera. As for me, I am using two, one small Fuji and a Nikon (looks like a mirror-reflex camera). I am very satisfied with both of them. Tell you, digital cameras have come a long way - remembering the first one I owned years ago - NO comment!!
