Well, I’ve made up my mind for certain about the camera. Not that it’s going to matter ATM, because I’ve struck out finding an S3 locally and I have a suspicion that P will as well. He’s going to call around today (because I’ve exhausted my non-long distance area) and see whether he can find somewhere that’s got one in stock, but I know I’m going to end up ordering it and have to go another weekend camera-less. I did find one place that has the Sony H2, which is a nice camera, but unfortunately, a Sony, and I swore I’d buy no Sony products at all after the rootkit thang. Besides, I read the reviews for it and although it doesn’t have any more (or any fewer) “issues” than the S3, it has different issues, and they’re different in a way that doesn’t work as well for me as the Canon. I particularly don’t like the way it seems to want to make whites bluish sometimes. Side-by-side comparisons show the Canon’s shots looking much more the way I want. Anyway, I suppose that one more weekend won’t kill me….probably. 🙂

Well, here’s hoping that one more weekend won’t kill me, since P just emailed and there’s no PowerShot S3 IS to be had anywhere within reasonable driving distance, so I’m down to ordering. Still don’t know whether I’m willing to cough up the extra for next day shipping, though. Hmm.
