Wherein I ramble about my new camera.
Photos are up of tonight's
King's X / Doppler Inc
show. I took them this time, and they came out quite a bit better than
my photos usually do, because today I finally broke down and got a new
digital camera. I replaced the
Nikon Coolpix 990 that I'd been using for almost four years with a
Canon EOS 10D
(the same camera that Angela uses)
and a
Canon EF 24mm f1.4L USM lens. It is so choice.
If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up. It's almost
like my previous camera wasn't even a camera: the 10D blows it
away on so many levels. Focus is fast, it can take 3 shots a second
for a total of 9 before stalling on the card, and I can shoot in normal
club lighting at 1/60 or faster with no flash! I'm very impressed.
Its only drawback is that it's a real camera with a real lens, which
means it's big and heavy and doesn't fit in my pocket. But, that's
still the only choice if you want "not junk."
