So... 4 Months Ago I got a new Digital Camera
LOL! It was a 2 version upgrade of the Digital Camera I had & loved, that one took FANTASTIC photos, so, sence tells me that the 2 versions newer, several upgrades more megapixels... would make for even Better Photos... & INDEED it did.

However I am a Photography Nut. I took a ton of Photography classes in school, Dark room stuff, I had my 35mm SLR, Developed my own prints..... the Digital era, Photoshop... Point & Shoot Cameras... I still enjoy taking pictures... but its just that 'taking pictures' not 'Photography' anymore...

SOOOOO... 4 months of having my New Camera
With Birthday money in hand I decide best of both worlds and finally take the leap & today I order myself my first Digital SLR


I am SOOOO Excited! It should ship out tomorrow & I can't wait to start using it.


As for the Camera I just bought 4 Months Ago... Good thing I kept the box n all that jazz, New camera bag, large high speed memory card, new rechargable batteries and charger, the works... LOL... should be a good set up for someone that buys it.


I'm just so excited & just wanted to share
