FINALLY a New Camera!!

 Oh I have longed for the day when I actually got myself a DECENT camera!!

 and now I have one! It's a CANON Rebel T3i
and it takes WAAYYYY better photos than my other cameras!!

 I went around testing it out today
(don't mind the half dead herbs please-even they show up better with this camera!)

 I love the sound it makes too when you click to take the photo! lol

 Colors & details of the photos are so clear compared to before I am just amazed!

 I have asked several other bloggers and this camera seemed to be quite popular.

 There is a button that can make the background more blurry-which I like.

 In this photo the flash popped up and scared me! lol

 Oh I think I'm going to have some fun!

I would love to find one of those books FOR DUMMIES about it. lol

My husband keeps asking me how I like it and wanted to see my first photos-he knew I had been wanting a new camera for so LONG now! So he is happy too.

Now, I have been known to drop my cameras-so he has asked me to wear the shoulder strap or wrap it around my wrist. I did purchase an extra warranty-where even if I run it over with my car-they will replace it! ~but it's about proving to my hubby that I won't dare drop this one! (I hope!?!)
Our niece went to school for photography and she said right off that she got in the habit of wrapping the strap around her wrist-She spent about $5,000!! for her camera- so I would have hired it a body guard as well! lol

Here is my youngest with her Kitty. She hugs her every chance she gets!

This is my Jerz-z
She is in heat at the moment and has been cordoned off for a while-poor girl.
What kind of camera do you use??~Mel
