Sold on Canon

So what does this have to do with herbs? My camera is a Canon PowerShot S60. I love the quality of picture it gives me. My old one pooped out while in Florida, and I needed to get a new one. Two months ago I purchased a new Canon PowerShot S60. Yesterday it pooped out. There is apparently a problem with the CCD imager in a few of these cameras. I was one of the lucky ones to get the problem, lol.

I was outside yesterday morning harvesting more Mustard Seed (to continue my series on this plant) and picked a few perfect seed tops to show when to harvest and how. I set the picture up and went inside to get my camera. Turned it on - MY HEART SANK! The view screen was all pink, blurred, grainy, with hundreds of lines going through. I tried taking a picture anyway, and the picture turned out just as bad.

I went inside and starting researching the problem on-line. Sure enough, I had a bad CCD imager. Now I had to go to Canon and face the big corporation. I was expecting the same kind of big corporate junk you get - telling me I was out of luck and had to buy a new camera.

WHAT I GOT was an AWESOME technical support person, who quickly determined this was the problem. I was told that it was a known problem and that Canon would either fix or replace my camera NO CHARGE! On top of that they even sent me a shipping label to send it back to them - again NO CHARGE.

Even with this problem I am feeling thankful to have picked a Canon product, and thankful that this happened while I'm still in Florida (where it's easier to get to a shipping place).

Taking quality pictures of herbs is what I need a good camera for - that's what this has to do with herbs :-) Here's an example of the quality of picture I get with this camera, and why I like it so much.
