Cameras::: I might be somewhat a Shutterbug!

The following is a conformation to missing my camera, reader beware. No cameras were hurt in the process of making this blog:

I want a camera!!! 

 Here is what I have been wanting to take pictures of but have not been able to, because my camera is missing: 

 I totally and completely miss taking pictures of my students. I have tons of them and would have loved to have taken pictures of them for fun ! But now I can not this end of the school year! That would have been awesome... Bummer.

Just another day at work for some people here
See how  I will miss taking these pics? 

So, I have been doing some window shopping (Although I like real shopping! I hate just looking!)
 Here is one camera I have been enjoying

The Nikon Coolpix L110. This shooter is awesome! Here are some features I like about it
   It takes HDTV Videos (for me going to USA and taking videos will be great way for Snuggle to see what I am doing in the day, I wanted to take a video of me everyday)
3 in screen with anti flare and vivid viewing of the pictures or the videos. 
Sport Continuous Mode: This allows you to shoot rapid pictures, as many as 20 pictures in as fast as 11.1 frame per second. 
Vibration Reduction: This is so you can take pictures that are as vivid as possible. The pictures wilt have a more clear and crisp look to them.
Easy Auto Mode: This will allow you to point and shoot with out worrying about the setting. The camera will automatically do it for you!
Smart Portrait System Exclusive to Nikon : This can in one picture detect smiles of up to 12 different people and will shoot when subjects are smiling and detects faces. This will warn you if in a multi-faced picture one face closed their eyes during a shot...

 Now for the Next wonderful Camera: 
  I have heard now for the last couple months that the Sony Alpha is now the cat's meow... 

Let's see why:

First of all, The sleek look it has. 
Have you seen it?
 It has a modern nostalgia to it which all us women fall madly for. We like something that reminds us of our birthday's long ago and then the feeling that we are looking into a that older type camera but... Modern updates. We love modernization! 

The Alpha Nex 5 k by Sony has interchangeable lenses. We like that!
It is 8 onces, which is rather light weight considering this Mac Daddy. 
It has all the qualities of the DSRL but half the weight and half the size and: half the complexities! Like it? I am loving it so far.  For one, the Sensor is better. The sensor is 13 times the older size. What does this mean to us that do not know much about cameras? We are taking real photographs not snapshots anymore! 
 High continuous shooting, Sweep panorama, Auto Motion and Anti Blur, Three shoot continuous self timer,  right now it s the worlds first and only interchangeable lens that continuous it's HD quality with every lens. No other camera in the world does that !! 
  The lens it's self is the best quality, but this has raised the bar in photography experience. 

The Alpha Nex 5K. Sells for about 650 USD
With raving reviews, this one will certainly start turning heads. So far, this one is my vote. 
But to be fair, I have one more to do.

The Canon EOS Rebel T3i
 weighs 3.5 pounds (for those of you on the metric system that is 1.5 kilos)

The Rebel can shoot very dim light to bright light and the pictures will come out really clear. This is good for all the concerts you will be going to at night and all the fun you can have in Las Vegas with your cousins (I added that part because I have family there, I can see me wanting to take tons of pics at the Blue Man Show)
   The Rebel can take HD Videos at 1920 x 1080 resolution. 
The sensor in this sleek baby is quite remarkable.. Prior to this sensor, many pictures remained dark and when trying to manually expose the light to the image, it made the pictures not clear and vivid. Canon revolutionized those sensors and BAM! Great imagery on low light.  
On HDTV Mode this awesome camera can zoom in to magnify at 3-10xs! 
In addition, this HDTV mode is unique because there are many settings and ways to film, g,v,ng you more options for making your Movies, or Videos, there are three recording sizes. 
Automatic Scene Analysis for Stand out Color, multioptions (yes: That is MY word) for where you are and what you want in your picture, multi filters, even atomsphere options for more vibrant to more softer hues in your pictures. 
This has continuous shooting, up to three frames per second.
Compatible with many memory card sizes, SD, SDHC, SDXC
Also this Canon has a wifi wireless option,face finding and a feature called Eye-Fi.  for wireless transfer options; howwever some parts of the world it may not be available yet. 
Flashes can take pictures as far as 35 feet away (that is 10.66 meters)
Which ever one you chose, remember that it is about the one that is best for you and the one that works for your budget. 
Here is a pic of the Canon: 



Happy Shooting!!!
