I have wanted a DSL camera for a while now and not just to have better photos for my blog. I’ve been taking more and more photos in the past six months with my phone and my little point-and-shoot; before the battery died on me. So I thought now would be a good time to invest in a nice camera.
The Canon EOS 1100D is your baseline model and one of the cheapest on the market that I found in my internet searching. I bought the body from Harvey Norman when they had it on sale and then the 50mm lens from the Good Guys a few days later. This camera is not as easy to use as your standard point-and-shoot or your phone, though it does have an auto focus function. I can’t really explain how it works because I don’t really know but I do know that I am in LOVE with my new camera and I’d like to share with you some of the first photographs I took with it.
Admittedly most of the pictures I’ve taken have been of my dogs but I have also started using them for blog posts (though there will be a few which are using photos from my iPhone because they’re already written and are just awaiting publishing). I’m still playing around with it when it comes to makeup but hopefully this camera will allow me to take photos that actually show the colours so I can move on from just doing reviews.
Until then I will bring you reviews with much nicer pictures.
