Occasionally, but after several drops, it doesn't always work ;)
Do You Remember the Camera's Price?
No, it was a gift
Describe a Favorite Photo Shot With That First Camera
My second child was almost 1 year old when I received the camera, so I have a great photo of her with frosting from her "Blue's Clues" cake all over her face. ;)
My First Digital Camera's Brand, Model, and Specs
Kodak DC215 Zoom, about 1 megapixel, 2X zoom lens, maybe a 1-inch LCD
Why, How, and When I Switched From Film to Digital
I love new technology and digital cameras were intriguing to me. I also love photography, even though I'm not a very good photographer, so digital cameras were the perfect mix for me. I could shoot poor photos & just delete them, rather than waste money on prints of poor photos.
Lessons Learned
- Make sure you shoot digital photos that you plan to print with enough resolution
- Do your research to find a great camera model, but don't be afraid to "pull the trigger" and make the purchase. In other words, don't wait and wait for a better deal, or you'll miss out on a few months of enjoying your new camera.
- I wish I had started shooting digitally sooner!
