So I went hiking out to some glacier lakes today and given that it was such a beautiful sunny day I thought I'd take the camera along. However it seems as though the thing is expiring, a mere 3 year old camera, gone the way of the dodo.
Take, for example, this stunning photo of the glacier, with the lake in the foreground:
Notice the beautiful sparkling blue water of the lake.
And here's a closeup of the glacier:
And a photo of some interesting birds perched on a nearby log:
So, in conclusion, it looks like I'm in the market for a new camera.
