New toys...

September 13, 2005 | 1 Minute Read

Got a little carried away the other day, and went and bought myself some new toys...

Got myself one of these little babies, and also one of these little babies.

For those that couldn't be bothered following the links, the first one is a digital SLR camera, the Canon EOS 350D - 8 mega pixels. Its pretty much the entry level model, but seeing I don't know that much about SLR cameras, its probably better to not spend an absolute fortune on my first camera. I've had a bit of a play with it already, and it seems to come out with some pretty nice shots... Just got to learn more about the funky effects that you can do with them.

The second is a pocket point-and-click model, the Canon Ixus 50, a 5 mega pixel jobby. Got this one cos its a perfect size to just stick in your pocket - much easier to fit in your pocket than a SLR camera. Looks like its a decent camera, but the screen seems to be a bit grainy. You can do some cool things with it, like pick a certain colour, and the rest of the photo will be black and white, except for anything that color. Pretty cool, really.

So, all in all, a pretty easy way to spend £1000...

Managed to take about 250 photos for Andrea & Marks wedding the other day, and managed to get some decent shots out of it. As I learn more about the camera, hopefully they'll get even better... Have to do a course at some point soon to learn some more about it...

Hopefully should upload some photos within the week for your enjoyment <IMG alt=":)" class="emoticon" src="/images/emotions/emotion-1.gif" border=0>.
