You may have noticed that the quality of the pictures posted earlier, were of a much better quality than my previous pictures, done with this very versatile phone. As you will recall...in this post I lamented on how The Man was being difficult about getting me the camera of my dreams. A few years ago he spent a small fortune on a Canon Rebel 2000...the camera that I had been salivating over for quite awhile. So, he buys it for me, then Canon rudely comes out with a digital version a few months later :/
I think he was tired of seeing me take pictures with my phone, because he came home from work the other night, and told me my Christmas present this year would be a camera!!! You may ask...why did he not just surprise me with a camera. Well, Internet, I will tell you. We have this rule...this rule states:
The Man is *never to purchase electronics by himself...E.V.E.R!
I have the opposite problem of millions of women...The Man does not spend to much on electronics...oh, no...he still thinks he's in 1989 when it comes to them. If it were not for moi, he would still be using cassette tapes *shudder.*
We knew going in, that with what we have planned for the girls for Christmas...NO, Internet, I am *not telling...we were not going to be able to swing the Digital Rebel. Once I got to looking though, I knew I was going to be able to find a camera with everything I needed...and most of what I wanted, and still stay in our price range. I had a hard time choosing between the Canon Powershot S3 and the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H6. They both had features I really liked, and the reviews raved over both of them. I ended up going with the Sony, David and I both liked the big LCD screen.
Since it was my Christmas present, I was not supposed to get my greedy little hands on it before Christmas Eve...BUT The Man wanted pictures sent to Family...and well, that could only happen with the new camera :) I have been playing with it non stop the past few days. Today, I finally felt comfortable enough with it, to take the girls outside and try some "real" pictures. Here are some of my favorites...
So, Internet...no more grainy pictures on the camera phone...*I have a real digital camera!!! I also have the best Husband in the world...my kids are pretty darn cute too :)
