I decided with my tax refund I would get a DSLR camera. But, after not getting back as much as I thought (and, of course, deciding to pay some bills instead, haha), I ended up with the Canon G12. The Canon G12 allows you to control the ISO, aperture, shutter speed, and so much more, but it doesn't allow you to change the lens like the DSLR does. However, I am completely satisfied with it so far. I still can't wait to get a DSLR, but I figure this is a step up from what I had, and it will help me learn how to take great photos.
Here are some photos I took, which were edited in Photoshop Lightroom 3.3. I was very excited to be able to get the look of flowing water....can't wait for the warmer weather so I can get great shots of the waterfalls around here!
Beautiful pics! Can't wait to see more as you learn your camera!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! How is the telephoto on that camera? My kids play soccer and I'm anxious to get a camera that can capture them playing without me ending up with a field of kids and saying...see that tiny dot...that's my kid!
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies!
ReplyDeleteThe camera has a 5X optical zoom and a 20X digital zoom. So far, I have been impressed with the zoom abilities. It also has special modes for sports to help freeze the shot. The camera itself has excellent reviews, and I am very happy with it.

However, if you were to purchase, I would recommend going through Amazon.com. It's $419 there and free shipping!
