I've added a new camera to my collection!

When I began photographing in 2003 with my HP PhotoSmart digital camera, I was, by no means, a photographer. In fact, I wasn't even very interested in photography. The time I spent snapping photos was very limited.

 

In 2006, I found a great deal on a much more advanced Sony Cybershot, which had many more features and seemed more 'my style' in terms of what a camera should feel and operate like. My interest in photography increased exponentially.

That camera has provided (and will continue to provide) many quality images and has inspired me to take my photographic endeavors more seriously. 

 

Now that I have had years of experience and have taken thousands of photographs, I recently felt that it would be beneficial to upgrade to a newer and even more-advanced amateur camera, the Canon EOS Rebel T3. While spending a lot of money on any item has never been my modus operandi, Best Buy had a deal that was too good to pass up - what would normally be spent for just the camera body, I was able to purchase the body, two separate lenses two batteries, a charger and all of the photo-editing software (which I try to avoid using) for the same price. What a bargain!

While I must admit that this camera is going to be hard to adjust to due to a plethora of available features, I know that it was a great investment and I will use it very often.
