It has a Gourmet setting!

Ooh! My new camera just arrived! And OMG it has a special setting just for taking pictures of food! There's a little fork-and-knife icon, and the manual says, "Gourmet: Shoots food arrangements in delicious color."

My last camera was stolen in June and I've been saving up to replace it. After absolutely no research, I bought the same camera my sister got recently, the Sony Cybershot DSC-H20/B. I thought about a DSLR but came to the realistic conclusion that I'm never going to be that much of a photographer. I just want to illustrate my blog and stuff.

Besides, it's fucking AMAZING what a point-and-shoot will do these days. Like take special pictures of food. And David Pogue really liked this particular camera for its large light-sensor (which apparently improves the quality of images in ways that more megapixels can't do).

The battery is on the charger, so be warned: more picture posts are in my very near future.

A special setting for taking pictures of food! I had no idea such a thing existed, but I am cheered that it does so in the same universe as I do. Awesome!

The pressure to find or even prepare some food worthy of that setting is already starting to make me twitch.
