Camera Lust

Rolleiflex MiniDigiRolleiflex MiniDigi - Trust me, Dad. There's nothing more I'd like to get you for Father's Day and your birthday than this, but it isn't going to happen this year. It hasn't come into the country just yet, but when it does come, it'll run around $350 for what's effectively a 2 megapixel digital camera with retro styling and no flash ability. Nonetheless it's a great replica of your original Rollei tank of a camera!

When I saw it, I thought, "this is so dad!". When you look at it more closely at their website (esp the video) you realize it's really tiny. Dad would likely fumble it compared to his real one. The irony is that one of the reasons you would use the original is that the pictures were captured onto 6x6cm negatives, excellent for high resolution photo enlargements. But with the new digital Rollei at 2 megapixels, you wouldn't want to blow up anything beyond a 5x7. Nevertheless, the camera is cool for its retro styling.

Daniel was better by Saturday. The main struggle for the weekend (and Monday) was Michael and his BM control. If he doesn't get it under control, someone is going to get sick due to hygiene reasons. Call Michelle and ask her about her trip to the YMCA on Monday.
