Camera lust


Micah was in a very big soccer tournament this past weekend in Cleveland. There were a zillion tents and vendors set up all over the place. His team didn't do very well because they had 2 or 3 kids not show up for various reasons, plus...they were younger than most of the teams in their division. They weren't exactly slaughtered, but they didn't win anything.

I wandered over to this big Sony tent to see what was going on and a very chipper lady greeted me with, "would you like to know what we are doing today?". Apparently , they were lending their cameras for the soccer games. You had to give them your drivers license and in return you were given this Sony Alpha DSLR camera with a big zoom lens attached to use for an hour and a half. When you returned it they put all the pictures that you took onto a CD for you and gave you a coupon for 100.00 off that camera. (They weren't selling cameras there though).

Yeah, so I am in lust with that camera. Man, what a difference!! It was sooooo nice and pretty easy to figure out. I took 104 pictures and only 5 or 6 were blurry. At least 3 of those were my own fault because I kept my finger on the button and took extra shots when I was pulling away from a shot. The camera did get heavy with that big zoom on it, but it took lovely pictures. Here are a few of my shots....

I know , I know...my camera takes nice shots too, but this one was so much fun to use! Hey, with the zoom lens it's only about 900.00, KACHING! When someone wins the lottery they can buy that for me, okay? hahaha

I've been dying to get a new camera too, even though mine works fine. I made the mistake of using Vita's in FL and DANG! What a difference... especially with that new lens she has now. The shots look great! I will buy it for you as soon as my millions come in ;)
