It's a Sony.

I bought this camera a little over three years ago, when LP was in nursery school. I realized I was one of the very few parents who still had viewfinders on their cameras, and that prompted me to get onto the digital bandwagon. (I didn't want to embarrass LP at social functions.)

It was on sale at that time, as it had to make way for the slimmer models with larger LCDs and pixels. It's a 4.1 mp Sony Cybershot that worked remarkably well. After all, it is a Sony.

Despite its rather bulky frame, I found it indispensable. Last summer, though, it started having trouble reading the memory stick (Error C:13:01). At first all I had to do was re-start the camera, until after a week or two when it got hopeless and couldn't read it at all. I Google-searched that particular error, and discovered a sea of disgruntled Cybershot users who vowed to never buy another Cybershot again.

Then I had the brilliant idea of bringing it to Sony's Avid store in Park Square. The attendant slipped a new memory stick, and voila! Good as new, and just in time for LP's yellow belt promotion.

Good as new for a week, that is. Now it's displaying the same error again...argh.

Perhaps I should bring it to Hidalgo, then. What do you think, Sidney?
