it died with its zoom lens sticking out, never to go back again

the weekend wasn't entirely good. i dropped it on its head and it hit the base of the lampshade. it was a gift for graduating college and it's been such a good little camper. i'm going to miss the little kodak. now the bother of picking out a new one. we're considering the Fuji Finepix F700. i'd rather just get the D-70 but the funds aren't

our camera had different light settings: tungsten, daylight and fluorescent. that was really handy for picking out certain colors of fabric. for instance, i took the above photo on the daylight setting. it makes skin turn red but it captured the blue color of the flower perfectly. even though it was a 3.1 mp its photos were good enough for my purposes (which mostly is taking images of my sewing projects... as you well know.) i also took the above photo without a flash and in low light. i sure wish i hadn't have dropped it on the lamp base. it makes me so sad. but it was 2.5 years old so i guess it's about time to get a new camera. (we still have our old-old digital camera... so i can still take crappy photos if i'm feeling the urge.) i'd really like a digital camera with lots of manual options such as exposure, light and flash settings. i never take photos without fucking with all the settings first. i have two 35mm cameras but film is so tedious. i have at least 5 rolls of film at home sitting in a neat row waiting to be developed.

thanks for your input. i'll put that down on my list of cameras to research.
