Look at what I got!

It came! It came! My new camera finally came in the mail! The mailman and his truck almost got stuck in the snow on the lawn delivering it, but it was worth it! Ben the tech whiz with the advice of his photographer cousin basically picked this Canon G12 for me to record all of my creative pursuits from here on out. What camera did I have before?

This HP beauty that I'm pretty sure my mom bought on a black Friday sale for $75 ten years ago. Yes, that's a rubber band that's keeping the 4 AA batteries from falling out. And yes, it has three, count them, three settings: flash; zoom; and good, better, best pixel quality. Ugh....now it's just a paper weight! Yippee!!

The new camera has a semi-wide angle lens that let's me capture more of the mess that lingers in my studio...

It captures every little speck...I don't think I even noticed all that dust on my tiny blue bins with my bare eyes!

Color is great...

Did you realize that they made those foil covered Christmas ornaments with Japanese newspaper paper mache? After looking at this photo I know now!

Photos capture the personality of inanimate objects...

I've always loved that blurry, clear, blurry kind of photo...check!

Uncle Sam is looking crisp and clear!

It even takes great photos in darker areas!

And near windows!

Good depth...

Even boring stuff looks interesting!

I love love love my new camera and the best part? It will help in keeping one of my main New Year's resolutions...being a better blogger! Stay tuned for more crisp and clear photos! :)

Enjoy your new camera! Got a little chuckle over the old one too :). My camera also helps me clean up my messes as somehow the stray stuff that my eye manages to tune out ... the camera seems to highlight. Studio is looking great, and oh, so huge!

I got a new camera for Christmas as well and am having fun playing with it (and trying to figure it all out). It replaced one that I had dropped so my photos had a fuzzy spot occasionally. Great photos and you certainly needed a new one!

I'm so happy for you, Crystal! Yay! As a pro photographer, when I was researching pocket cameras, the G12 was my other option... I ended up going with the Canon S95 (now S100) for size reasons and have not been disappointed.
