Thursday’s Three: What camera should I get?

I’m JUST ABOUT ready. I am JUST ABOUT ready to buy my new new to me camera! I’ve saved… paid bills… saved… paid bills… and, now I’ve almost got just enough to buy a camera (one more bill to pay before Mike is ok with this! :D). BUT, I cannot for the life of me decide what to get!!!

{Ruari 8 months old}

I probably wont be going through Craigslist because I don’t want to get something that’s broken (we made a big purchase through Craigslist before… it broke fast). I guess I’d like to be able to return it if something does happen. I’m thinking I may go through Ebay for something refurbished or used … or just go to Amazon (They also sell used and refurbished).

{Ruari 8 months old}

I am by no means a pro with photography. I have always loved it and have taken a couple college classes… I’m just ready for more than just my point and shoot!

My Thursday’s Three: What camera should I get?

1} The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi: I’ve always owned a Canon. So, I know they’re good.

2} Nikon D3000: I don’t know too much about Nikon’s. But, it’s right around my price range.

3} Hasselblad HD3II 39: Ha! Just kidding. 39 megapixels! I would LOVE to have this camera… but, just a wee bit out of my price range… around $22,000. ๐Ÿ˜€

I would love to have this camera… cause then I could take photos like this:

Wordless{ish} Wednesday: Baby and Daddy

Go here to vote for your favorite button @ Simplicity… Maybe you pick mine? ๐Ÿ˜€

{Dear Laureli,
       It’s almost impossible to get your daddy in a photo. This is SO hard since your mommy is crazy and takes about 5.23.4.9 million photos a day. But, last night daddy didn’t complain at all when I was taking his photo. In fact, he asked me if I could get these photos ready to e-mail to his parents (your grandparents) by tomorrow. }

{You LOVE your daddy. You look towards the front door when you hear it opening… because you know your daddy will be walking through it. You love it when he bouncing you in the air.}

{You love to march in his lap and climb all over him.}

{The funniest is when he blows a raspberry on your back. You believe it’s HILARIOUS!}

{You love to give your daddy kisses.}

{Most of all you love it when daddy kisses you.}

{Happy Wednesday everyone!}

{If you have a Wordless{ish} Wednesday, please feel free to post it below. And, feel free to link up to these blogs too… (Wordless Wednesday HQ, 5 Minutes For Mom, 7 Clown Circus, Jolly Mom, Go Graham Go,  and My Wee View.) . Happy Wednesday to all of you!}
