New Camera

Yesterday I went to my parents’ house for my sister’s birthday and my mom had gotten a new SLR (Sony a330) for her early birthday (this Sunday) present from my dad, so my dad gave me his old SLR to mess with. It’s a Minolta DiMAGE 7Hi. It’s about 8 years old, and it is a digital SLR. It takes pretty good pics to be so old, and it was top of the line when it first came out. It sucks up batteries like there’s nothing to it (good thing I have rechargeables), but other than that, it’s pretty nice. I went outside and took a few pictures today (the rest are in the January 2010 gallery), but I was already low on batteries so I couldn’t take too many… When I passed by our window, Toulouse was going nuts trying to get to me, so I took a picture of him. Hehe. The other pictures I took are pretty much pictures I’ve taken before with my Fuji, but I just wanted to see how different they would look. I’ll probably start using the Minolta pretty often if not every day, but I’ll put in the tag on the picture and the post whether I used my FujiFilm or the Minolta. And hopefully I can take some HDR’s since it takes .raw pictures. =)
