All I Want For Christmas is a New Camera

“No, no, no!” Those were the first words out of my mouth when I tripped and fell into a cement wall with my DSLR last week. Bryan rushed to ask me if I was hurt and I replied, “Don’t worry about me! Make sure my camera is okay!” This must be a trend with both amateur and professional photographers. I was chatting with a professional photographer the other day who told me, while on a shoot in Morocco, she fell on a cobblestone street, hurting herself, but managing to save her camera. If you have someone in your life who is a camera enthusist and you want to gift them something special during the holidays, check out these new Sony, Samsung, and Nikon cameras with built in wi-fi, available at Best Buy.  These also make great gifts if you just want to upgrade. Just saying.

I often see people debating which camera they should purchase on Facebook.  Here’s the best advice I have ever seen on the subject: Go to the store and hold each camera and see which one feels best and easiest to use while you are holding it.  You’ll find a camera you love! What is your best tip for searching for a new camera?

  4. I’ve been dying for a new camera and this one looks awesome. I would love to take photos for my blog with this.

  5. Reviews reviews reviews!!! Read them! Also, know what you are wanting in a camera. I have seen so many people pick a camera just because of the looks of it “Hey, it’s purple!!” and then be disappointed with it later on.

    I am totally eyeballing that Nikon. It looks like a sweet camera!

  16. I have the Nikon ti3. It works really well and I am quite pleased with it. I would love this Nikon though. Wifi means no need to remove the photo card and upload photos. They could just go on my hard drive through my wireless network and poof, I can start working.

  18. I have a Nikon dslr and I absolutely love it. I wish I had the money to upgrade it, but I’m content with my current camera!

  21. I dropped my newest camera ON THE ROAD in front of our house less than an hour after I brought it home. I was SO mad LOL That being said, I have Nikons and I LOVE them! I also love purchasing anything from Best Buy – their inventory, online sales and staff can’t be beat!

  22. I so need a new camera. I have like three of them and none of them do everything I want them to do.
