Camera Question Answered!

So today I decided to answer one of my most frequently asked question. I keep getting asked this through twitter, email, etc. that I decided it would be best if I addressed it in a post so that everyone will know. I've been meaning to answer this question for the longest time, and I actually made a video awhile back to address it but due to some technical difficulties that never got uploaded. I don't know why it took me so long for me finally talk about it, but better late than never, right?!For the most part of this blog up until the last couple of months, all the pictures (including the DSK Jewelry photos) I took were using my Sony Cybershot P200. I've had it for about 5 years so it definitely is not as updated or comparable to the new cameras that have been coming out. When I bought it, point and shoots were still at a base price of $300 for 7.2 megapixels, and 7.2mp was the max for point and shoots at the time. It's a pretty decent digital camera, but I really hope to upgrade soon.

Now in the past 2 or 3 months, I switched over to solely using my DSLR, which is a Nikon D40x, to take pictures for this blog. It was a gift from my dad 2 years ago, but I never really used it that much until recently. I am not sure why I didn't play with it more when I first got it, but at least I now make much more use of it than I did before. It is a very beginner consumer class DSLR, since I am certainly not a pro in taking pictures. It's more of a hobby than anything for now, but I do hope to better my skill someday.

The next camera I am lemming for is the Panasonic Lumix L3!

Anyways, I hope that answers the question for many of you who wanted to know. Once again, I am sorry it took so long! If there are any further questions, feel free to leave a comment. Enjoy guys!

  1. i've been trying to play more with my dslr too! i think using dslrs give objects in photos so much more dimension. i'm currently lemming the lumix gf1 but that's like buying another dslr or a lens =/

  2. I love my Point & Shoots. I started with a CyberShot (which is amazing in low lighting imo) and switched to a Canon and I didn't like it til I got the hang of it. Now I don't know how I ever lived without it. I got a Canon PowerShot SX10IS last year-ish which is kinda like a cross between a dSLR and a point and shoot. I don't use it much cause I don't know how LOL!

    Now I want a Panasonic Lumix LX3. I don't think I'm ready for a dSLR just yet... it's like having a baby, you gotta constantly buy things for it (like the lens) and I'm just not ready for that kind of commitment! LOL.
