New camera!

With which I took the icon and the picture behind the cut, both gifts from Chad's family over vacation. No, they are not particularly good, but I am just getting started.

Isn't he just so grumpy?

Oh, and does anyone else have a Canon SD series? (This is the 800.) What's better, taking out the memory card and using a card reader, or using the USB cable? The little door for the USB cable feels incredibly flimsy, but I don't know how robust the memory card is, either.

It's generally easier to just use a card reader -- no driver issues to worry about (though I think cameras show up as MTP devices, these days), and almost always faster transfers.

(As for reliability, my S100 did have the card door break, but a) that was because I dropped it, and b) I doubt a mini-camera so ancient it used CF is really relevant to modernity.)

The camera shows up in Explorer when connected by cable, after installing some software. But I'll just use a reader, I think.
