New Toy

After months of researching, Eric and I decided to upgrade from our digital point and shoot to a digital SLR. While I had decided on a certain one, I was a bit distressed to find out it is back ordered until March. So after 2 hours of talking things over we made the decision to upgrade.

We purchased a Nikon D80 Digital SLR. We went with Nikon for many reasons 1)Quality 2)price 3)Knowledge of the cameras. Eric's Dad has Nikon Cameras, both 35mm film and Digital SLR.

We are in LOVE with our new purchase! We had Norm over today and we did some comparison shots from his Nikon D70 to our D80. I had a lot of fun learning things with Norm today and seeing the difference in colour and sharpness between the two models.
I am taking a camera course this coming Saturday to learn all about our new camera. Eric is already leaps ahead of me since he grew up around nice cameras. This is our Christmas gift to ourselves! (yes a bit after the fact, but the sale was better now :) ! )



I don't have many photos ready for posting, but one that I absolutely love is this one. I snapped it last night while I was playing around learning the camera. Bekah was giving her daddy, bedtime Kisses! I think it is the cutest picture. I decided to put it into black and white to just focus on them.
