Our camera went south. It still has a ton of pictures on it from Terra, two days after Christmas, and others. I need to figure out a way to get these pictures off the camera. However, Misty has been looking at cameras for some time. The point-and-shoot that just stopped working takes a long time to get to the point it can take a second shot. Plus, when you're ready for the picture and push the button, the shutter doesn't open and the picture isn't snapped until sometimes several seconds later. Often, seconds are important.
She's looked at the Digital SLR cameras. At we took some of our Christmas money from our family and bought what she had been looking at on the line. It's the Nikon D40x, and it's beautiful. I love this camera. Misty and I are have to time-share our photographing since be both like it so much. I've been reading about f-stops, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, lenses, all kinds of good stuff. This is going to be a good year, picture-wise, and every otherwise, too I'm sure.
