Stepping into the light

So i was into the film photography world…i went to a digital crap camera, the next step was unexpected – although logical – to get a good camera, even though i didn`t want a camera a work colleague of mine was selling his after he got a D-SLR…i didn`t want it at first but i got a nice deal on it and said oh…why not.

I got the camera and started taking pictures almost everywhere i went, and i enjoyed it a lot (it is the best bridge camera of its time, even nowadays it beats the crap out of a lot of cameras out there), 9 megapixels, 10.7x zoom 28-300mm fujinon lens, quite a large sensor and kick ass functionality…BUT, all in all it remains a “compact” camera, being limited by its lens most of all.
