Well, the last guy who got this way ended up getting run over and being killed. This guy definately took the “triple dog dare” to a new level. He was twice the lethal limit and DRIVING A TRUCK.

Read about it here.

On Friday morning I missed capturing my daughter, Madeline, enjoying the intro song to the Backyardigans and that started the quest for a new camera. We have a Canon S300 Digitial Elph which has been a great camera, but it’s getting a bit dated, being CF and all. I went looking to see what was the latest and greatest. I found that the Canon SD line looked pretty much like the best deal these days (much as it was when we got our S300) I was able to narrow it down to the PowerShot SD600 and PowerShot SD630 which seem identical except for the LCD on the back. The SD600 has a 2.5″ LCD and a viewfinder while the SD630 has a 3″ LCD and no viewfinder. One feature we really want to use is the 640×480x30fps video, which is AVI, but MJPEG…but conversion to AVI/MPEG4 isn’t all that difficult.

We took a trip to Best Buy to browse the cameras and played with both a SD450 and a SD630. We (my wife) decided that the viewfinder was of almost no use to use anyways so that made it a go.

I found Beach Camera had the best price and free shipping, so I orded it. Much to my suprise, it shipped about 4 hours later. I also hit Newegg for a 2GB SD and a spare battery.
