We decided that Sunday was going to be a day of rest. And not the exhausted I've been sick and just need sleep rest, actual rest. We bought a canon T1i digital SLR last week and then got so sick we couldn't figure out how to use it. So, on Sunday we played with it until the battery died, charged the battery then played with it some more.
I'm not going to lie, this sucker wasn't cheap, especially since neither Jason or I are that into photography. We had a little powershot that did what it was supposed to do, but none of the pictures it took was that great, and they always seemed somewhat flat to me.
We started talking about getting an SLR over Christmas. Everyone had been very generous with us, and while we do have a fair share of bills to pay, we wanted something fun, that wasn't necessarily for the baby. We went back and forth for a while. Was it worth it, would I even be able to use it given how bad my vision is, yada, yada, etc.
I did some research online and we went to a local camera store to play with the real thing. I'm SO glad we bought this camera! First of all, Nate is just a cute kid. I know he's ours and all parents think there kid is the cutest, but I've seriously had people come up to me and tell me that when they have kids, they hope they're as cute as Nate, so the fact that we now have a camera that can capture his expressions is awesome. Secondly, full auto mode rocks. I don't need to be able to see what I'm trying to take a picture of, the camera can see it and that's all that really matters.
So, prepared to be inundated with pictures of a baby - as soon as I'm not at work.
