Technology has not been our friend lately. First our Laptop has decided that it can no longer keep a charge for longer than 5 milliseconds, second to go - our desktop computer decides to become a giant paperweight and refuses to boot up, third to give us fits is our trusty GPS - the car charger has dissembled itself and rendered it useless. But now, the most important digital item we own has gone to the graveyard - Our digital Camera, now we are lost in thought and wondering, did a time ever exist where we didn’t have digital photography? Instant gratification? The ability to take tons of pictures without wondering how close you were to your allotted 24 exposures? Over the last month our little Sony camera has been slowly fading. It’s been living on scotch tape hospice for a few weeks now, but as of last night it flat lined! While trying to get a picture of Mae the camera was dropped to the floor. Now we are on a mission to find a new, better camera!
We got our current camera during our pregnancy with Mae. We were able to keep track of weekly belly shots and pictures of the nursery as it was put together. It caught the first moments of Mae’s beautiful life and has probably taken a picture of her every day since then. We imagine that we got, at the very least, 20,000 photos out of it. Here are some of the shots.
Now on to bigger and better cameras! Our wish list for this new camera consist of high zoom capabilities and a camera that takes a picture when I push the button. I don’t want to wait 10 seconds before it misses the moment! From "experts" that we have spoken to, we have narrowed the search to 2 cameras, both DSLR's, the Nikon D40 or the Canon EOS Rebel XS. Both have what we are looking for, but still need to get each camera in our hands to see which one we like better. Updates to come...
