tiamatladyI had a chance to play with the camera while taking my lunch break at home (with a metric assload of pizza leftover, that's what I'll be reheating for a few. Actually only through tomorrow, but I REFUSE to eat it tonight!)
Oh My Dawg, am I ever in love!
5 Megapixels are more oomph than I'll ever NEED. it has a fast shutter option, AND, more importantly, an "Objects in motion" option. I took some pics of the ceiling fan, moving at it's top speed. AWESOME! I should have some great pixs of Rogue in the coming months!
The thing that scared me was the zoom. 12x Digital zoom. I was taking clear pictures of things from the couch, across the room, with flash that looked like I took them UP CLOSE and personal! I got details on Dream from across the room as well. So neat!
I need to play with this thing. I need to order some accessories for it as well. I don't think I need any lenses, but I do want the carrying case, and rechargeable batteries and the A/C connector. I can get all that in a package, but I'm going to price rechargeables first (AA size, I'm done buying fancy ass batteries!)
I loved my old one, but now I'm starting to see how much was wrong with it. Served quite well, for the price and it's age (I bought it off of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tyg3r ages ago!) but this one is just - leaps and bounds.
I'm going to try it out on Thursday,kanine I'm probably up for that show, especially with the new camera. I have to talk C into posing for me. I'll talk to him tonight.
Now I can't wait to get home and take pictures of stuff to sell! yay!
Oh, and since I used real money, not savings, I still have a buffer. I'm going to take money out of PayPal as needed, but I didn't drain it all. Teh Unit is going to pay for part of this and I'm expecting one more client check, so I should be all set through month's end.
