New camera





A new camera has arrived in our house. I had a point and shoot camera that has been a trooper and been a great little camera but I was wanting more. Not feeling advanced enough to go with an SLR I got another point and shoot camera but with a bigger zoom, lower light capability, and more features on it than my old camera. I felt guilty this morning leaving my trusty little camera behind as I went out to play with my new toy. But as I explored with the zoom and practiced with the dials and the macro I soon forgot my guilt. There is so much to learn and the instructions are rather vague I guess they expect people to already know what they are doing when they buy the camera-but not me. I'll just have to keep practicing and you will all have to bare with me as I do so.

  9. LOVE your photos.
    you have a WONDERFUL eye.
    i don.t know how to do much more with my camera than point and shoot as well.
    i did learn that i HATE the flash.
    if i can ever get a photo without it...im always much happier.
    please let me know next time you visit your mom in scottsdale.
