Nikon CoolPix P7000 Back

The camera features a large screen and a viewfinder. I chose this camera because of the viewfinder. I can't take photos of gravestones without one.

In my opinion, the viewfinder is essential.

Camera Case and SD to USB reader

This is the soft case that I chose for the camera. It has a strap that can attach to a belt loop. The object in the front is a SD to USB card reader that came free with the case.

I like that it snaps shut. I always keep the camera in the case and either in another bag or in my pocketbook.

Step 1: Unboxing

After unboxing, this is what my new camera looks like. Pictured to the left is the soft case that was purchased separately. I also bought a 16 GB SD card. Largest one I own.

I didn't know there was a camera strap that goes around my neck. I am going to like that.

Genealogy and Technology

The blog you are reading was created long ago for my consulting business which was educational technology. As it is associated with my name, I decided to keep it and just modify it to be about how technology relates to genealogy.

I hope to be blogging more about this topic and I am hoping those who read this blog will find the information useful.
