Wheesh! Lots of stuff has happened since my last post. Let me summarize it in form of one of my handy lists, break it all up according to the list and post about it one by one.
- Electronic device
- Queueing adventure
- Painful book
The most recent electronic acquisition? my new DSLR (Yes, for those who dislike photography or plainly, live under a rock, DSLR = Digital Single Lens Reflex camera) Nikon D90.
For the past 2 years (... and probably a little longer), I have been playing with the idea of buying a SLR. Since these things are quite expensive, I couldn't and didn't want to just go "Hey Mom and Dad don't you have spare $xxxx.xx?" So I saved and saved and saved and finally the day came that I could afford. *YAY*Mission money = Accomplished!
But what model? Canon EOS 550D or Nikon 90D? Canon is the latest model on the market, whereas Nikon is 2 years old, already. Canon obviously has its upsides, but the Nikon (regardless of its "age") still beat the Canon ... not by a lot and not in terms of the Video function (which I don't actually care about), but still beat it. After nightmares, sleepless nights, abundant kicks and screams and many deliberations over coffee (... or tea and hot chocolates), I finally decided to go with the Nikon. It's a beautiful camera. Very easy handling. Yes, can you believe it? Everytime I tried out the Canon in the store I ran a blister on my index finger, because the main menu wheel was so hard to use ... crazy. A definite reason not to buy the Canon, especially not as a lefty.
Mission camera decision = Accomplished!
