I’ve been hoping to buy a new camera for quite some time now. I’ve been using my Cannon point & shoot digital since I started this little blog. It was time for an upgrade, so this past weekend was big!
Here’s the new baby!
I learned on a Nikon SLR, then had a few random digital point & shoots over the years, and I have to say that I like Nikon the best. I know there is the great Nikon vs Cannon debate and I’m sure that the Cannon version of this camera takes beautiful photos, but Nikon is more idot-proof user-friendly for this chick.
I am so excited to start snapping!! It has a wide angle lens and so many little extra features (like black & white option, firework & backlit settings, and rapid shoot). Um it has a special setting to photograph food!!! Plus it has 720 movie capabilities! I didn’t fool around with the photo editing software it came with yet, but the reviews online say that it’s pretty nifty too 🙂
What kind of camera do you use? Are you a Cannon person or a Nikon person? Think it’s the same as the Mac vs pc debate?

I have a Nikon D70. I absolutely love it. I was the same way Nikon vs Cannon but decided on the Nikon due to how easy it really is. 🙂 It’s so easy to get used to and you will not regret it.

I have a Cannon and a Nikon both. I carry my Cannon with me in my purse because it is smaller but oh I love my Nikon D300!! I got it a couple of years ago and still haven’t figured out all the things it will do but it is so much fun,I have three extra lenses that I bought to go with it. So I will definitely have to say that my favorite by a long shot is my Nikon!!

I am a Nikon Person my biggest complaint is this I spent a small fortune on my SLR and I am always using my Handy dandy Kodak Easy Share WHy you ask (or maybe you didnt) because it fits in my purse and I am like papparazi as a blogger you know pictures are a must and people tend to look at me strange when I bust out a big Ass SLR at Joes Crab shack to shoot Candids of the Kiddos! That being said Have fun with your new camera I hope you use it more than I use mine .

I have a Nikon CoolPix L18. Sure it’s just a point and shoot digital but it works really well for me :]

Terry and I have a Canon 450D DSLR which I use to shoot the pics on my blog. I don’t know much of the fancy functions (it’s his toy)….I pretty much use it like a point and shoot camera!
