I've been having some trouble with my digital compact lately. It's started disobeying orders and behaving in an unpredictable and unreliable manner. I'm not sure why. I have got it wet once or twice recently which might have something to do with it; also I dropped it on a hard surface from about a foot not long ago, which might also be not wholly unrelated.
It's a nice little machine, refreshingly retro in design and quite versatile, but I'm off to the Holy Land soon, and I don't want it to start acting up the moment I enter, say, the Dome of the Rock.
Today was the day scheduled for going into Town and cutting my losses by obtaining a new camera and abandoning the old one altogether. But it seemed a shame to have to dump it. But then this week it has started behaving itself, almost as if it knows its future is in jeopardy, so it is obeying all the many commands I have been giving it all week to test its reliability thoroughly.
So I've held off, at least for the moment. My backstop is the duty free shop at Heathrow, but I'm hoping it doesn't come that. It's a nice little camera and I don't want to chuck it in the bin just yet...
camera- Lumix LX3, bought Dec 2008
