i bought a dslr!

canon t3i dslr

If you couldn't tell from the title already, I bought my first DSLR camera! It's a Canon T3i, and I wanted this for a long time - since when it was new on the market a few years ago, actually! I was always on and off about it since I didn't want to shell out the money, just to be overwhelmed by the manual settings and end up not using it at all. I'm happy to say that it's a lot of fun so far, and I can't wait to take more pictures!

Granted both the body and lens are used, but I don't mind. I can be super clumsy about things like dropping my phone and getting scratches on it (but let's hope I don't drop my camera, haha), so I stopped caring so much about getting cosmetic flaws on my electronics a long time ago. If I know that I'm gonna get the exterior battered up anyway, might as well buy it with the slight imperfections and save myself a couple hundred dollars yes? ;)

Also, I don't seem to post pictures of myself often - so hello there!

Until next time,
Becky

  2. WELCOME TO THE T3I CLUB.
    As clumsy as I am, I've yet to drop my camera/any of my lenses. Even if they do fall, well, those things are built like tanks.

  3. I've always wanted a camera like this too!! I should look into getting a used one since I'm super clumpy with my things as well!

  4. I'm so happy for you, I really need one, Now I got a Nikon 3200, I would like to buy a canon but I'm not brave enough to say goodbye to Nikon because I don't know if Canon is better :(

  7. Heheheeh thanks~


    I'm trying to be super extra careful about using the strap cause I will cry if it falls and breaks. Thank goodness my phone is built like a tank, too.

  8. It is! There's a huge learning curve, but it's fun nonetheless!

  9. It's worth it! Previously I used my phone camera and while it's good, this is SO good that I can see every bump on my face haha.

  11. Thank you!! I think most of it has to do with trial and error. It's a lot of fun playing around with the settings actually - I'd say go for it!
