Fun Little Camera

After my last vacation hauling around a more substantial camera, I decided it was time to look for something a little more compact. This fits the bill at a most reasonable price ($200 range), yet it packs some very nice features. My semi-shaky hands appreciate the image stabilization feature. Facial recognition and smile shutter are handy...it's amazing to me that on demo mode, smile shutter can even spot a smile broadcast on TV. The 4x zoom is more than adequate for a camera in this class and it's quite compact, easy to slip into a purse. It has a nice large screen area and most operations, with the exceptions of turning it on/off and depressing the shutter, are contained in a compact area to the immediate right of the screen. The camera is easy to use and intuitive enough to be figured out with a minimum of having to refer to the manual. It also shoots video. You really can't go wrong here and if you shop wisely on eBay, it's possible to get it for around $170 like I did. I have only two beefs with this wonderfully economic camera. One is the shutter lag that is unfortunately common to point and shoot cameras. Can't really get around that without investing in an expensive SLR. Two is that the screen is very prone to fingerprints that are not easily removed. These are such minor complaints when you consider what this camera is able to give.

EZ-DUZ-IT #88 American Made Deluxe Can Opener. Made in USA. Red.

EZ-Duz-It Does It Best

The packaging claims this to be the best can opener made and it's one of the few products I've encountered that lives up to the hype. It feels solid yet comfortable in the hand and oh my! It slices through the top of the can as though the lid were made of soft butter, so smooth. With proper care (don't leave the blade and wheel sitting out with foodstuffs clinging to it), something like this will last for many years. It replaced my old Dollar Tree opener that I didn't even realize was such a struggle to operate every day until the EZ-Duz-It came into my life. This one will never seize up and stop cutting like the other one did or leave a hangry me stabbing the can with a knife to break through inconsistent, jagged areas that refuse to cut all the way through. It seems a little weird to love and appreciate a kitchen gadget so much, but this sucker is the Rolls Royce of openers.
