I’ve happily been taking photos and videos with my new camera. Three days later my holiday would start and I would have a good (enough) camera to capture some fine moments! Corrupted photosįast-forward about two weeks, half-way into my holiday. When I returned home, I formatted the card in-camera, and played around with the photo and video functions. I decided to buy a Samsung 8GB SDHC card, which would be able to hold up to 1500 photos or an hour of HD video. A few meters down the corridor was a huge wall covered in memory cards. I then realised that my existing 512MB and 1GB SD cards would no longer be large enough for the 12Mpixel photos of this new camera. 15 Minutes later I found myself in the Media Markt with the camera in my hand (unfortunately only the silver colour was available, I had hoped to buy the black one).

So I quickly checked for the latest and greatest compact camera’s and decided I wanted the Canon PowerShot SX240 HS. The week before going on a holiday, I realised my old Canon Ixus 40 camera would no longer live up to my expectations.
