Happy Newspaper Times - 05-04-2007, 02:44 PM


So...my boss comes over and lets me know that the web dept. has finally decided to play with the big boys and not buy another Panasonic Soccer Mom camera for our web video.


Instead.... we're getting a Canon GL2. Woot.

Sure, I know that they're coming out with a newer model and there are some awesome HD cameras out there...but our paper is small and behind the times so this is a big step for us.

Finally...my degree in broadcast journalism might start paying off.

Hopes....Dashed.

Apparently...our IT director didn't check into the store first, and it's one of those electronics store scam places.

So no cool Canon GL2 for us. I hate this place.

Okay...so I'm told that we can probably spring $700-900 for a new soccermom video camera.

And although I suggested maybe trying to find a used GL2...I doubt they'll go for it.
