When I graduated from high school, my parents bought me this camera as graduation gift.

Since getting my first digital camera a number of years ago, this little guy has been gathering dust. Over the last few weeks I've pulled it out (mostly due to my digital camera's sensor dying on me) and started shooting film again.

I developed one roll of film and was kind of flabbergasted. I had forgotten the difference between the image feel between film and digital--one isn't better than the other, but they are definitely different.

Yesterday at the Zoo I brought both my Sony F717 and my X7A and shot about 65 photos between the two of them. One of the photos--a komodo dragon--came out great. It was taken on the X7A using an old telephoto lens I bought second hand.

So thanks Ma and Pa. The camera is still going strong after 19 years of use.
