Canon Powershot A70
This was the second digital camera that we ever owned. I believe I purchased this sometime in 2004. This is a 3 megapixel camera and uses compact flash cards. It also has the feature of a fully manual mode. However, this particular camera no longer takes photos. It powers up, but the photo chip no longer seems to record the images properly. |

It was a terrific little camera and especially good at night shots. I am still posting a few shots from it (all from 2012/13), even though after about a year it stopped taking charge from the battery (and a number of new batteries etc. Experts couldn't work out what was wrong). So I still have it as it sits forlornly in a drawer (and I do miss it!).
And why did you go and drop your Nokia smart phone into a bog?! ;o) I suppose, if you didn't drop your phone, you wouldn't have gotten the camera.
It was only in the water for a few seconds and it was more like marshy ground rather than a pool of water and I didn't expect it to expire there and then but it did :o(
And this was at the end of a terrific day's photos which I could never re-create although i did try with other cameras on subsequent visits to Cornwall. Oh well ...
