A nice camera. I've always wanted one and told myself that when I was older, had more money, and had great pictures to actually take, I would invest in one. I had a great little point and shoot that I got as a christmas gift over two years ago but I unfortunately dropped it off the end of the ropes course in the Canyon. Oops. The darn thing still works but the screen is completed shattered and you cannot see a thing. That is the camera that I have to take to Africa. There's no way. I plan on taking 1234567890 trillion pictures and I want them to come out beautiful. I don't know if splurging on a nice camera is a smart idea because it's such a long travel and where I will be staying has the potential to be a bit crazy I wouldn't want it to get broken. Regardless of my trip I still would die to own a gorgeous camera. I even would love an old one, or even one with film, that could be fun.
i think a camera is always worth the investment! pictures are something that will last for the long haul.
ReplyDeletebut i must say--when money is tight, and destinations might be less than condusive for a big chunky camera---a little point-and-shoot can do wonders. that's all i use right now. with the right settings---the pictures can still be marvelous. a nice one is a good compromise to the big $2,000 selections.
AH! Canon AE1 was my first camera....i still use it and LOVE it. Film adds the coolest effect. I agree with Alfie - they are worth it - but if money is tight - the little ones do a great job too, and then you can mess with them on the computer later!
