I figured it would be best to get a point-and-shoot with vid so I could have it on me at all times (you know, small enough for the ol' purse dealy). Othewise I would be buying a camcorder and having to haul an extra bag everywhere for my SLR and camcorder. Great for some of the time but not all the time.
My forever search resulted in me purchasing a Nikon Coolpix S8000. I am NOT HAPPY. My camera dude (guy who's been working with me at the store) says my eye is too good. I notice things most people wouldn't. That I just won't get the quality out of a point-and-shoot. That I have to shell out big bucks for a HD camcorder and haul my SLR around if I want superior quality.
Crap! I knew it. I don't have big bucks and I want convenience. Quality and convenience for $350 is too much to ask? To me that IS big bucks!
Does anyone out there have a point-and-shoot they're happy with? Should I just learn to suck-it-up and use this one for play? How do I settle with the fact it's not as good as I desire? Anyone know the number to a Sugar Daddy?
Anyways, here are some pics of my superb weekend!!! It was brilliant, amazing, stupendous, a total memory maker!!! The pictures are sub-par in my book. I'm going to try to remember the good times and stop focusing on the shitty shots!!!
These are the best of the best. I literally threw a bunch in the virtual trash bin. I do understand that I could help them along in Photoshop, but I want to start with a brilliant photo, you know what I mean? Do I ask too much? Will I find a Point-&-Shoot to satisfy me? Should I return the camera and save further for a camcorder to go with my SLR? Or should I suck it up and enjoy this one as a toy and allow the kids to play too?
I know, I know. What a whiner, Huh?
