With settings specifically for photos of food, pets, and the beach, you can annoy your Facebook friends like never before.
At first I didn’t understand all the hostile comments. “Thanks, I REALLY care about what you have for dinner EVERY SINGLE DAY,” said one college classmate under a photo of my delicious shrimp risotto.
“omg we get it u hav cats jeeze”: that barb from my cousin (also named Barb) was the only comment posted to a picture of Tiago and Snarl, my two Maine Coons, lounging on the dryer. And when I put up some photos of my trip to South Padre Island, this guy I used to work with went through and posted “IDIOT” to every single one. Why so harsh, you know?
But now that I have an Olympus VR-320, I totally get it. Those people were mad about my food, cat, and beach pics because my old camera just wasn’t doing them justice.
Well, they can stop complaining. It won’t just be the 14MP resolution and 12.5X optical zoom that will bring my shots to life. The VR-320’s 14 scene modes include Cuisine, Pet, and Beach & Snow. So my Facebook friends can look forward to seeing much, much more of Tiago and Snarl, and my upcoming spring break at Sanibel, and my continuing exploration of Epicurious – and in more detail than ever before.
Enjoy them while you can, guys. Because pretty soon I won’t have time to do many of those things. That’s right – Mike and I are pregnant! Do you think baby pictures should use Portrait mode, or would that still be considered Pet?
