MD 853 Slim Digital Camera

I met up with my sister for an outing at the zoo last week and found myself coming home with camera envy. Her MD 853 slim digital camera is awesome. 

After watching her simply point and shoot all day, I asked to take a look at her camera.  Her camera is silver but she tells me they come in all sorts of brilliant colors.  It is light weight, has a 5 times digital zoom, and an 8 mega pixel resolution. The thing that impressed me the most was how simple it is to use.  You just aim the camera and the adjustments are made automatically.  How simple is that?

The real jealousy kicked in later that evening when she sent me the photos she took on her MD 853 slim digital camera by e-mail.  The picture quality was excellent.  I compared them to the photos I took with my 2 year old compact camera and was truly surprised at the difference.  It amazes me how far technology can go in just 2 short years.  I tried to figure out what feature made the most difference in our photos.  Was it the 8 mega pixel resolution or the auto adjustments feature? Then I remembered the digital image stabilization feature she had mentioned.  She said the MD 853 slim digital camera will eliminate the fuzzy or blurry pictures you get when you slightly move the camera while pressing down on the button.  Perhaps it is the combination of features.

I had no intention of investing in a new camera to replace my 2 year old camera, but found myself terribly envious of my sister’s camera.  I began searching sale ads and department stores just to see what is out there.  What I found was that the MD 853 slim digital camera in not an expensive camera.  Now I have to make a decision.  Do I go ahead and make the purchase or see if a person really can turn green with envy
