Today, just went in to Machida with Eriko to buy the new camera. It's really cool, its 14.1 megapixels and has 14X optical zoom (56X digital zoom). I tested it out tonight and it's really good, I'm very happy with it.

I met her after getting the first train with Eriko who was nice enough to take me to MAchida very early in the morning for both me and her. Her Dad was also really kind and drove us to Komae station.
