It's Finally Here!

I purchased my first grown-up toy! I've wanted a nice camera for quite some time now and decided to pull the trigger on Cyber Monday. After doing lot of research on cameras this one took the cake. It has 400+ awesome reviews on Amazon and after reading some photography blogs this one seemed perfect for beginners me. I tried to play with it last night but after one to many glasses of wine it was getting a little tough to figure out. Why can't all the settings just be preset? Hopefully I will have better luck on figuring out how to set the date/time/display settings tonight :)

Also, if you know me, you know I don't have a great history with cameras. The last five errr seven are spread out across the country in Panama City (I miss those SB pictures dearly), the bottom of Lake Okoboji, bars and cabbies in Iowa City, Vegas, and the Perry's tent at Lollapalooza. RIP. Of course this bad-boy wont be joining me at the bars so I think I should be okay.





I also ordered this super cute strap from Couch Guitar Straps on Etsy!

If anyone has any photography advice PLEASE send it my way!

  1. Haha I think I've lost around 7 cameras as well as well. I lost count :( What is the name of this camera? I want to invest in one too - it's my goal for the new year!

  3. Ok one. Panama City spring breaks struck a nerve there. Memorriiieesss! And two! You'll have to post some type of a review on this baby- all the cameras I have EVER owned suck and I now basically only use my iPhone. BOOOO! So I'm on the hunt for a good non-bar cam :)
