A little something I came across

I recently came across this item, and while not directly photography related, it could come in quite handy for those days where you are out playing with your camera and lose track of time.  It is called the Sportline Hydracoach Water Bottle.  It allows you to enter your weight, the amount of water you'd like to drink per day and tells you how much water you have consumed during the day.  Frankly, the only drawback I can see is that it is probably (and I say this because I do not know for sure) not dishwasher safe due to the electronics involved.  But for those with medical issues who need to stay hydrated (if you have kidney stone, are on weight loss regimins, are a sports enthusiast), it's probably a very useful thing to have around.


Meanwhile, back on the photography front, the battery for the new Sony DSC-W220Sony Cybershot DSC-W220 12.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization (Black) Sony Cybershot DSC-W220 12MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization (Light Blue) that I won from the Mamma Mia blog http://themammamiablog.com/  sponsored by Lunchables a few weeks ago (thanks to both Mamma Mia blog and Lunchables for an awesome prize!), is charging as we speak, and I expect to go outside and play around with the new camera later today and report back.  This one has 12.1 megapixels, so it will be interesting to see the comparison to my other Sony camera with 10.2 mp.

Also, have you all seen the Sony commercials with Taylor Swift for the Cybershot DSC-TX series of cameras with the new sweep/isweep panorama modes?  Is that not a cool function or what?  I'll be looking for that in stores soon - would love to take a look at that series of cameras.
