Eulogy for the Canon Z155 Caption Point and Shoot Camera

My point and shoot camera, a Canon Z155 Caption, has shot is last photo. You could say it's shot. It is blinking, "H". It died while on vacation. The only survivor is the Minolta XG7.

Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of the camera!

After extensive battery terminal cleaning, battery replacement, and fiddling, life could not be brought back to it.

It has had a good life. Its lifetime included 7-10 day trips to Mt. Rainier, Yosemite, Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons, the Pisgah National Forest, the Nantahala National Forest, Rocky Mountain National Park, several climbing trips in Arizona, California, Colorado, North Carolina, and Wyoming, a kayaking trip, several mountain biking trips, and innumerable day hikes and 1-3 day backpacking trips. So, it has had rough usage and a few scrapes.

Also, it has allowed me to capture loving photos of my puppies, friends, and family for the last 7 years.

It has worked unfailingly in these conditions, but the trip to Montana to ride horses spelled its ultimate demise. Here is the last photograph it ever took:

P.S. I am searching for a replacement.
