On the Prowl for a Quality Camera
Last week, I found myself prodding along with a myriad of other proud parents in an attempt to get good shots of my son singing in his school Valentine’s Day play. Slightly frustrated, I paced back and forth, circling the stage to catch the right frame. And guess what? I never got a good shot.
At that moment, I realized that my bright idea to buy a relatively inexpensive digital camera was a pretty dumb one. In fact, I began envisioning all of the other school functions to come – plays, recitals, soccer games, karate tournaments. Becoming even more frustrated by the thought of it, I then turned to my husband and said, “This camera is a piece of crap, it doesn’t work for me, the zoom function is limited and the picture isn’t clear, I need a better camera.”
Needless to say, I’m now on the prowl for a quality camera – one that will enable me to bypass other cute kids and get good shots of mine, whether it’s video or photos. So I’m doing what any other chief memory officer (MOM) would do. I’m spending time perusing product reviews sites to determine which camera will best suit our family’s needs.
According to a stat I found from the Consumer Electronics Association, sales of digital cameras, especially the higher-end SLRs, have skyrocketed and high-resolution cameras with more than six mega-pixels are the fastest-growing segment of the camera industry.
But in all honesty, I’m just looking forward to finding a camera that works for me.
