FINALLY! Now I can take better pictures…

May 2, 2011 by Kim S. / blog / 0 comments

Yesterday morning, May 1, 2011, my husband surprised me with a gift that I’ve wanted for a long time now – a new camera. My little canon SD750 has had its run, and wasn’t doing real justice picture wise for my blog(s). If you remember in the summer I was searching for one (see post), and the one he got me blows the one I wanted out of the water! I’m so thankful and grateful for him & it.

I got it just in-time for The Makeup Show so now I can bring you clearer pictures .:yay:. This means I have less than two weeks to learn how to use it.

This is it – Sony SLT – A33 DSLR
