Meet My Samsung ES73 Compact Camera

Samsung ES73 Compact Digital Camera
This is Erin, short for tangerine. I bought it yesterday from an online supplier. I finally have my own point-and-shoot camera that I can bring with me anywhere. This is actually hubby’s birthday gift to me, bought in advanced. Thanks, Be!

While I don’t have events I need Erin’s help, she will stay home so she can be used to capture my kids’ precious moments.

So why did I chose this model? I have a number of reasons.

  • Its price is within my budget. I got it for a little more than $100.
  • It has 12 megapixel.
  • Its battery is similar to that of a mobile phone, far better than rechargeable AA batteries.
  • It is available in tangerine, a shade of orange, which is my favorite color.

Who Are Your Kids’ Favorite Characters?


Aside from Elmo, Ayex’s favorites are Angelina Ballerina, Barney, Mickey Mouse and the rest of the Clubhouse Friends and Thomas the Train.

She hasn’t seen Elmo in person yet because it was Ernie and Bert whom she met last July in an event in Mall of Asia. Yesterday, we saw the poster above at the mall. I got excited when I read that Ayex could see Barney, Angelina and Thomas in person in one great show! You bet she was so giddy when we told her about it. If your child loves these characters too, proceed to the jump for the details.


Hubby and I are thinking of getting tickets for the Saturday show. If you are watching as well, let me know. We can probably hook up. 🙂
