Bad News

Some of you know that Mommy's camera (Canon Powershot A710 IS) got wet and we thoughts it was deaded. Who knew a camera with an underwater setting was so allergic to water. But a splash of water got on the lens and for the longest time the camera couldn't see anything. Well Daddy saved the day by taking the battery out and hanging it up to dry but now when Mommy takes pictures with it there is a big spot in some of the pictures. It doesn't do it all the time, and sometimes it is worse then others. Sometimes Mommy can crop the spot out of the pictures but other times the spot is on the subject and totally ruins the picture. So you will probably start seeing fewer pictures of us or pictures of poorer quality starting about mid April. A new camera isn't in our budget so Mommy is going to just try to learn how to make decent pictures with this one. Besides which she has just figured out how to work this one and it is the purrfect size. Mommy hates those little bitty cameras some people have. She says they are too little for her big hands. Not to mention as blind as she is she needs something big enough for her to see.

On a brighter note Daddy got Mommy this garden wagon so she can haul her heavy pots around. She really LOVES IT!

That is terrible about the camera - water in the lens is usually bad news, even with underwater cameras. When I took my underwater photo class that happened to us with the underwater camera - were were lucky we didn't have to buy a new one because one of the deans was in our class and took pity on us!

Oh dear! Poor camera. Can you not complain to the camera's makers and get them to fix it?

Any chance the camera shop might be able to help, e.g taking the lens out and clean it?
