Goodbye, Lucy :: Hello, Caspian
Though, Lucy is clearly my favorite non-Aslan Narnian character (followed by Puddleglum, Reepicheep, Edmund, Jill...the list could go on), the camera that I had affectionately named after her never showed up, as after a week of waiting, Amazon finally said, "Oh, by the way we're out of that model."
So, I went ahead and decided to do the upgrade which I had considered earlier. And for about 158 extra buckaroos, I am getting significantly more camera. I am feeling rather materialistic about itl, the new camera's price, the old camera lost, but I intend to put it to good use. Still, one wonders about it all.
This camera is silver, and since silver is a somewhat royal color and since this camera is bigger than the other one, this one is going to go by Caspian, whose hair, in any case, turns silver by the time of, yes, the Silver Chair. OK, enough with the silver. Here is hoping that the non-Amazon vendor I selected actually comes through. The vendor ratings checked out, but it is always a bit of a worried wait. For those who are interested, here's Caspian's specs. Alas, ladies, it isn't that Caspian.

Interesting turn of events, or names I should say. I guess, I was looking forward to Lucy... but Prince Caspian could be good...perhaps, I don't know as much about his character... "Prince Caspian" and "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" are the books from this series that I haven't read since I was a wee one.

Laura, I highly recommend getting reacquainted with them as an adult, particularly The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which is a grand adventure with lots in it about Lucy and the great story of Eustace and even a tiny bit of romance, which is rather rare for the Narnian tales. Caspian is not an incredibly compelling character for me, but seems to work for the camera name.

WARNING! I have come to believe that this company that I ordered this camera from practices bad business practices at the least. So, don't order from them.
Aye, the way greediness works in their hearts and in mine, wanting to get such a good deal.
