RIP Old Zoomy Canon A40

May 2002 - July 2005 (E18'd)



I took over 16,000 pictures with this lovely machine. It was bought for me by readers of my comics for my birthday that year! It was a simpler world back then, free from terrors.

I will miss you, Old Zoomy. You were the best thing that I ever bought using $300 that strangers gave to me.

Make people give you $800 to get a Nikon D70. OH MAN THEY ARE GREAT. I'm sure you could do it, Mr. Popular Webcomicmaker.

Also, is that the camera equivalent of winking?

Actually it's the camera equivalent of having a stroke.

He drew that on a Denny's napkin using just the crayons and bodily fluids God gave him. Jeff is just that talanted.

That's my first digital camera and the one I'm still using! Ha. Except mine's a Powershot A20. I love it. It's huge and heavy and crap and outdated like all the best technologicamated stuff should be.

I remember my my camera of 5 years and thousands of photographs died.
I hope your camera makes it to a better place. Like camera heaven. Where I imagine things that only cameras understand, happen.

Batteries never run out. No dead pixels. Servos never get hung up. Nothing ever gets screwed or wedged into it that isn't supposed to, and nobody tries to put the memory card they dropped in the mud back into the card slot. Every scratch and dent is mended.

Beautiful angels take the most pleasant, well-exposed pictures of each other with them, because the angels are beings made of pure light.

And it doesn't even matter if the camera gets dropped - hell, they drop the cameras for fun, because they fall into big fluffy white clouds and bounce right back up, unharmed and a little exhilarated.

I'm totally seeing the whole bouncing thing. Or they land like big bricks of lead. They just land and are unharmed. Enjoying the new view.
I need to hit up camera heaven now. To do some photography and to visit the ol' bird.

You had a six-digit PO Box number.

That is hardcore.

the good news is that crazy son of a bitch, Dr. Vendyl Jones, didn't find the arc yet.
but it makes sense. bush is the new hitler after all. he'd want to melt people's faces for sure.

Thats too bad that your old camera died. If your into video camera's theres an expensive (but well worth it) Panasonic GS-120 (with a still option of course).

If your not into that sort of thing, keep praying that the Nazi's never find the ark.
