so excited to pick up my new camera on Friday… the old one died while we were camping this summer and I have been missing it tremendously… decided not to have it repaired again as it would be expensive and I had already had it repaired three or four times… made more sense to put that money towards a newer model…

was hoping to make it to Christmas to buy one but Thursday night I was at an event and was very disappointed in my pictures…

so Friday I went and purchased this one… it is basically the same model, only upgraded…

many things are similar but there are nuances that I am going to have to study up on, lol…

I’ve been able to connect it to my phone to download pictures but haven’t figured out how to use my phone to depress the shutter button…

there is a new automatic setting that adds effects and I really want to understand a few of the other settings…

it connects to my phone or computer via wifi, the screen moves to make taking pictures easier and it has a better zoom function…

looking forward to delving into all the details…
