Wordful Wednesday - New Camera

I LOVE to take photos.

LOL, my husband says I think everything is a photo-op.

He is right.  ;)

I like to document lots of things.  Not to mention I had to take great shots of my products to use in my shop. 

I finally took the plunge in April of 2009 and bought a DSLR camera.  At the time, I decided to purchase a Sony one.  Not typically a popular choice in DSLR cameras.  Most people choose Nikon or Cannon when buying DSLR's.  I was upgrading from the film Minolta SLR I bought in 2001 after my son was born.  I absolutely LOVED my Minolta.  I also had an extra telephoto lens for it and didn't want to start from scratch.  What I found out was Sony purchased Minolta and most of Minolta's old glass lenses work on my camera.  That is the main reason I purchased my Sony.  I love my Sony camera.

PS- you can find some really old sweet Minolta glass lenses on ebay for my camera.  ;)

Anywho,  I bought myself a present last Friday and it arrived today.  I decided to upgrade my camera base.  Isn't it pretty?

 
With how much technology has changed, over the last few years, this Sony A65 is a HUGE difference over my Sony A200.  It is going to take some getting used to.  They have moved around alot of functions I use all the time.  Not to mention there are so many new neat things this camera can do.  Hello, I can take video's with my new camera now.  Super cool!

If you are interested in finding out more about the Sony A65 (which is actually a SLT (Single-Lens Translucent) not a DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) because the mirror does not snap up when taking a photo like in a DSLR) you can watch this awesome video made by B&H Photo.


Off to go take lots of pictures.  :)

PS- I do carry my camera with me all the time.  I use this small travel backpack camera bag made by tamrac. 

What kind of camera do you have?
