R.I.P. Canon A710, originally uploaded by aswiebe.

The state of my old camera after its unnatural demise. But what's this? I can take a picture of my old camera...with my new replacement. It's a scratch-and-dent model, meaning the viewscreen cover has a spiderweb crack in it, but it seems to work fine and the lens is unscratched. This means I got it for about 1/3-1/4 the price it's going for new, which is pretty good since this is the next model up from my deceased darling. Still need to figure out the new camera's tricks.

Why, were you pondering doing so?

I generally recommend against taking a camera apart unless you've got another camera to document the process in detail so it can be reassembled.

that was really a joke, but i have really always wanted to take a camera apart and see how it works, much like i've always wanted to feed a slug to a dog
