I bought my first camera (Kodak Advantix F620) right before I went to Chile for the the CTIO REU, because I had been told that it's worth it to have a good camera for such once-in-a-lifetime adventures. This was around January 2001. I used 16 rolls of film in those 3 months.

I had that first Advantix camera through my stint in Switzerland for the CERN REU around June 2002. I was in Switzerland for 2 months, and I used 13 rolls of film. Between Chile and Switzerland, I bought a scanner in addition to making really nice Hallmark scrapbooks.

Then my first camera broke. :( Something about the insides rusting...

I bought another Kodak Advantix (T700) circa November 2002; this one was waterproof. This is the camera that went with me to Korea for a post-baccalaureate month of traveling with my mother and sister. I used 12 rolls of film. I continued to use this camera until the fall of 2004, and it took beautiful pictures of my first time in Maui and the wonders of Santa Cruz. Then it broke. :(

It broke in much the same manner that my last Kodak Advantix camera broke. :|

I called the company and complained violently that my second Advantix camera broke in the exact same unexpected manner as my previous one. They "kindly" sent me a new camera, after receiving the broken one, though my warranty had expired. They said they valued me as a customer, that the Advantix line was being discontinued, and this malfunction had been reported by others. Hmmm...

I appreciate their valuing me as a customer but I'd more appreciate honesty.

I received a Canon Elph S410 for Christmas 2004. I passed my replacement Advantix camera on to my friend, whom I owed a camera. Now I'm happily in the digital world. (Update: For earning my PhD on 4 August 2009, I was given a Canon PowerShot SD970 IS, which is another Elph. The first Elph wasn't dead but I did crack it open and put a piece of metal in to make the shutter button connect with the circuit. I love the new Elph.)

What this means (I did have a point) is that all photos taken prior to January 1, 2005, are scanned (so not that great though the prints are beautiful). My second point would be that I wasted a lot of money... two Advantix cameras for ~$150 total + about 50 rolls of film at $2 per roll and $6 for developing + $100 for the scanner = ~$650. Boy, could I have bought a nice camera with that! Of course, with my prints I made excellent scrapbooks for Chile, Switzerland, and Korea. It's a trade-off, I suppose.
