Ancient Camera Keeps On Snapping Pics

I have had my old digital camera for a long time. Over a decade and it is still snapping new photos. 

Like everything else I own, it is showing its age and sports a rubber band to secure the batteries so they don't come spilling out. 

I have taken thousands of priceless pictures with it, which is not bad for something I got for free. 

I acquired the digital camera using reward points we received at the drug store where Linda used to buy the expensive pharmaceuticals she was on for her MS. 

She is not on them any more because they were of questionable value to her quality of life, and they were costing the health care system a wasteful $35,000 dollars a year. 

But we did get a free camera.

I snapped the picture above when we lived on the west coast. The juniper bush shown was outside our bedroom window and made a perfect place for a robin's nest.

Of the thousands of pictures I have taken with my camera, the nest with three glorious eggs is one of my top 10 favourites.

We could have replace our old, beaten camera with something "better" a long time ago, but we are the buy nothing people, and for us, it is enough. 

How long will this workhorse camera last? Hopefully a long time, although I may have to add another rubber band or two at some later date.
