Camera

The first camera I ever used was a blue bar film camera which made grainy pictures. But it was a camera, nonetheless, and I was always excited to shoot anything with it, though I was more excited to be the subject of the shoot. Then came highschool, my aunt abroad sent me a solar powered film camera. It was really light but it did what it supposed to do. The pictures were better than grainy. And then my mom got a Canon Autoboy. The pictures were perfect! (at least at that time it was) I could almost see my pores in the photos. Well, almost. From then on, my mom and I got really serious with taking pictures that we even bought coffee table photo books and learned everything on our own. I was her model, and my mom prided in herself that she could take a more-than-decent shot. 

It's been a long time since my mom and I got crazy over taking pictures. But my longing to have a good camera didn't fade. I want to take up photography classes and hopefully invest in a good camera body and a couple of lenses. 
This is a Canon EOS Rebel XSi EF-S. I haven't really digested the specs and all but I have seen the end results and heard that this one's really good. It's tagged at $699, a mouthful really, and to say that I can't afford this is an understatement.
Now this what I call a dream. A 12 megapixel digital cam that can go underwater as deep as 10 meters. I can only imagine the things I can do with this and the places I can go with this.
This one's a real dream. When I was a kid, I could only wish for a Polaroid and now that I'm a grown up all I could ever do is still wish for a Polaroid. Hahaha. It's tagged at $200. I will get this as soon as I have saved money from oDesk.

If I had all these 3 cameras... The Polaroid will be used on spontaneous events, the D10 for my adventures and the DSLR for those planned shoots. I will, of course, also use them interchangeably. Hahaha! So much for fantasizing. 
How about you? What's your kind of camera? Hit me with your thoughts. Cheers!
