So its been awhile since I've posted, but I still snoop regularly :) anyways I have upgraded my camera significantly. My old one was a very simple canon S3 IS that was 7 years old (though it did OK as all my photos on here were taken with that) to my now 'big girl' camera a canon T4i. Best buy was running an online sale ( that the store matched ) for $648 with the 18-55mm lens :) not a bad start to my big girl kit for the armature hobby photographer:) had to boost to someone who may care caused my friends are very unimpressed and don't understand why i'm geeking out :)
