Digital Deliema

I had tried a little Kodak digital camera when they first came out and hated it. It never worked right and the pictures were awful; but about 2006 I realized the digital camera quality was catching up to 35 mm. I knew that when the prices came down it would be much more cost effective to have a digital in the long run. I also liked the idea of being able to review your results imediately on the back of the camera.

In 2007 I started asking around and researching digital cameras. I was thinking seriously about a Cannon Rebel. One day my Broker told me of a lady that was trying to break into the photography business that would take really good pictures of my houses for nothing because she wanted the experience. I called her and used her as much as my conscience would let me without paying her - twice. She was really good. We stayed in touch and when I was just about to make the plunge I decided to call her first. She used an Olympus and liked it. It came from the box with two lenses - a wide angle and a telephoto. This would be perfect for me since I needed to take pictures wide angle for inside my houses and I loved doing nature photography as well. I looked up Olympus on the web and found nothing but positive posts. It had a stablizing feature in the body that many of the cameras didn't have. In March 2008 I bought my Olympus E-510. This picture of the blue bird on a bucket was one of the first pictures I took with my new camera. I was hand holding and this is zoomed up to about 7x. A little shake, but not bad.
