Happy belated birthday to cc_lemon, expect something in the mail.

So, for those who don't know I'm getting ready for another trip to Japan. I need to get a new digital camera, as the crack in my LCD has gotten larger. I think I want something with image stabilization, since I'm only so good at taking pictures. muscatlove was telling me about her camera, but I'm not sure if it will do what I want. I also want my camera to be light and small, since carrying around a bulky large camera like my first digital one, I just won't do. If anyone wants to recommend something to me, please do. I want something easy to use and no more than $500.

I've also decided to quit my job. A lot of people have asked me, "Rachel, what will you do when you quit your job?" And to be honest, I already feel overwhelmed with everything I have to do. I have *TONS* of Takara dolls I want to sell, tons of anime items, and then I can start work cleaning and getting rid of everything else from my house I don't want. I'd also love to spend some time sewing.

For those who collect anime things, please be on the look out since I hope to update yamanote-line with some new items and lower prices and put a ton of things on ebay. I want to completely re-haul the site by giving it a new design, but I have beeen lazy. It is something I will work on though! I have a ultra hard to find Fujicest laminate made by Team Up/Tenpo and a Fujicest postcard from NightWave. Also lots of other weird and random items and I plan to majorly cut down on the amount of doujinshi I own.

BTW, look, new LJ icon! And it was drawn by me for those curious :)

Cute icon! X.D

The camera I got was like, $300. It's an Olympus and uses a li-on battery, which of course lasts much longer than AA batteries. Hm, don't remember the model number off the top of my head... C something zoom. .^^;; It's okay size. I mean, it's not hella thin, but it's not too thick either. (I think thin cameras are too hard to hold when taking pics.) It's 6.1MP, iirc.

*tries to find it* Ah, here, C-60 Zoom.

I got it last year. Might be cheaper now. You can probably find something better though. Oh ya, and the only thing that sucks is that to turn the camera on to take pics, you have to slide open the front part. Sometimes you can accidentally turn the camera off if you hit the cover and slide it the other way.

Ohhhhhhhhhh I will have to read up on the reviews of it on the site my husband recommends, thanks :)

I currently have a thin camera and it shakes sometimes which is one reason I wanted image stabilization. lol

Good luck! I really like it, except for accidentally turning it off sometimes.
