Imagine There's An Image

Sandy and I were blessed with the unmitigated nachas of seeing our first-born walk across the stage Sunday afternoon in College Park to receive her B.A. Leah earned a double major in Communication and Sociology from University of Maryland, and we're very proud of her.

Now we're all rooting for her in her search for her first professional-level job. She's hoping to land a position with a media company, doing public relations or promotions.

Meanwhile, as a graduation present, Leah asked for a digital camera. She did some research and thought she would like a Canon SD400, which we did go out and buy for her.

Naturally, being the concerned father that I am, I wanted to make sure the camera worked fine before we gave it to her, so... I took some photos with it.

I have to say that even thought the SD400 is basically a point-and-shoot, I'm very impressed with it. Smaller than a deck of cards, it nevertheless has an excellent lens coupled with Canon's outstanding image sensor and electronics. Rounded out with good ergonomics and a 2-inch LCD display, it's a pleasure to use. Here are a few shots to show you what it can do:
