Yup! That's yours truly, Henry Gurr, at the Columbia (SC) Camera Store, 24 May 2002 5:30 PM. This Is the First Photo Taken On My New Camera!
I was due to leave on my ZMM Research trip in just two days! Here I am tired but happy … I had finally purchased my camera for the trip. My first "digital", it is a Canon S30, 3MPixel with X3 Optical Zoom and with added X3 digital zoom. As of this writing, this camera has been very successful! It has gone through the insult of over 20,000 Miles of every abuse travel research can dish out: Heat, cold, rain, and intense rough gravel road car vibration ... and oh ... don't forget camping most of the time! Not to mention terrible road and trouser pocket dust and grime. This poor camera was constantly in and out of my pocket, just bumping around on the car seat, or dumped on the car floor. This camera has, with this treatment, thus successfully been through some 5000 pictures, computer downloads aplenty, and over 20 Compact Flash Cards (each 128 Mbytes. This whole time it was working like a champ with nary a glitch (not caused by myself) the whole time. Continued next photo.
Columbia, SC.
