So, I finally bought myself a point and shoot camera. I haven’t had one in way too long, and have been wanting to get one for, well, a long time now! With two kids, and one on the way, I found that I was almost never taking my big camera with my anymore. It was just too much trouble. And, I like the convenience of having a small camera in my purse that I can pull out and take quick, random shots with…..like Bristol in her car seat, got it.

Kennedy in her seat…got that too.

Girls after just waking up….

Got it, got it, got it.

Kennedy and I were early to swim lessons one day so we pulled out the handy little camera and had some fun

Playdate with friends…perfect time for a point and shoot camera!

All of these were taken with this little guy:

All in all, I love it. I am really impressed with how fast it is. One thing about a point and shoot that drives me crazy is the lag time. Often, you miss the shot just because the camera was not fast enough…. I feel like this one is pretty fast, so I hope not to miss too many shots! And as I’ve already mentioned, it is small and super convenient to pull out and use in a hurry, so that is another big plus for this busy Mommy.
What drives me crazy though, is the fact that the lighting/exposure/image quality is not always the best. But I am used to shooting fully manual on a super nice camera, so by not doing that, I have to take what I get. And it is going to take some getting used too. But I have decided it is totally worth having a not-so-perfect picture as opposed to not having the picture at all.

Happy Monday everyone!
