Wish Fulfilment
I’ve had a hankering for a new camera for years now, since before I started blogging. I wanted something that was better than a point and shoot but I am terribly frightened of SLRs. Both the technical ability that is needed to operate one and the price tag that even the cheapest comes with!
I think the S5700 is a good compromise, it has plenty of manual settings to play with if I want to and a super dandy automatic setting plus a lovely macro and these days I am all about the macro!
I need to practise with it obviously. In the main because it is quite a bit weightier than the old one. I have to hold it in a completely different way and treat it utterly differently. I think I’d become quite complacent with my old faithful.
I will still be using old faithful. It will be the one that I carry in my bag everywhere I go. But after three years of wishing I am seriously looking forward to playing with a new piece of kit.
your photos have always been lovely, can’t wait to see what this new baby can produce !
Have fun! Isn’t photography great, I’m sure you’ll soon get to grips with your new camera, looking forward to seeing some photos.
Why did I have to go and look at it on Amazon?! Looks great, can’t wait to see what you take with it!
How exciting! Wishing you a long and fruitful relationship.
I love my camera to bits which probably makes me a bit of a saddo! Have fun with yours xx
My first camera was an slr and to move to a point and shoot was a dream come true. All the adjustments used to drive me crazy especially when I was taking photos of people who had to wait while I fiddled. It sounds like you got the best of both.
What a toy! Have fun!
You are quite brave on venturing on a camera like that one. I think I couldn’t. My husband have one and I don’t touch it. I prefer mine.
About the flowers: wonderful!
That camera scares me! I’m sure it will be great though.
I love your daffodil banner – so pretty!
