Alpha K

And that's the name of my new DSLR Camera =P

(Excuse the mess, I got two laptops am tuining up and both are on my desk)

Bought her today (on a spending roll lol). After saving up for about two weeks I had half the amount I needed, but with my spending habits it was gonna take another month and a half until I collected enough to buy her. I kept on spending the saved cash on other stuff lol. So today morning during breakfast, my Dad gave me his bank card and with a lovely smile on his face told me to withdraw the amount money I need to get the camera. I grinned at him, clapped my hands gleefuly and yelled "Yay!!!". I was excited all day, and after work, I immediatly headed out to the store and bought Alpha K.

Damnation I am so looking forward to expermienting with photography. After extensive research, and actually wanting a Canon Rebel XTi as a first choice for a DSLR, I changed my mind to the Sony Alpha 200K because:

• I am an amature photographer, and the Alpha 200K is the best recomended camera for beginners.
• The image stabilization built into the camera's body is a darn nifty.
• It has the features I need for the type of photography I will be using it for.
  
• I get a lens as well as a Sony camera bag.
• Every single review I read online about the camera was good.
• My old camera is a Sony point and shoot and it lasted 5 years with no problems at all (until I dropped it xD)
• Costs less. Really good for what it offers.
  

I must say though, I am rather daunted by all the controls available on the camera. I've had a quick skim through the instruction book and I think this might be the first instruction book I will actually sit down with and read page to page, because I truley am clueless. This camera is a whole other level away from my old baby (whom is now owned by my six year old sister. She followed me around the house today copying my every move with Alpha K with her "new" camera).

Here's the first photo I took with Alpha K, little bro is the sophisticated young model. She was in Auto mode.

I am sick for the THIRD time in two weeks! What happened to my immune system? My white blood cells used to be powerful, warding off all attacks on my body. I rarely ever fell ill.

Then I traveled to New Zealand ...

*shrugs* Oh well. End of post.
