My existing camera - a Sony Alpha100 died a few weeks ago (see earlier post). It has been - and still is, in the camera hospital awaiting surgery. I decided it was far too expensive to have it repaired - a total of £276.04, so I decided to buy a new one. It has served me well for over 4 years and with the offer on the new camera (I bought body only, so able to use my 2 existing lenses), making it cheaper than the original camera, I couldn't resist.
Sooo...here it is. My new Sony Alpha55 - the latest in technology. I am soo thrilled and I feel blessed that I have it here - now!
The shop does not send out Sony cameras and as the distance between me and the shop are probably over 300 miles apart, it presented a little problem! I did put out a call if anyone was able to help who lived close by and Chris came to my rescue. Chris sacrificed his time to go collect it for me, packaged it up and sent it to me within a couple of days and I am soo grateful to him for his kindess and generosity. *Ü* I couldn't have bought it without his help. So once again Chris - if you read this...thank you, thank you, thank you.
About the camera....I did look at the new Canon 600D but eventually the Sony A55 won my heart.
It is a little smaller than the A100 but has so many different features. Check out the links above - each a different website for alternate reviews. I can't wait to use it and my battery is charging as I type. *Ü*
I have had problems with the guy at the photo shop where I took my 'old' camera. It has been sent away but has not been returned - even after my 5 telephone calls to find out what the estimate for repair is, nor after requesting last Saturday - for my camera to be returned unrepaired. It wasn't on the delivery service last Thursday! After making yet another phone call, I now have to wait until next Thursday - making it over 5 weeks since it's been gone! It's outrageous.
To take my mind off of it....I need to go read up on how to set the settings! Eek! That WILL take me until next Thursday!
Toots for now peeps.

Thank you for visiting my blog Glyn and for leaving such lovely comments, it’s most appreciated.
Your new toy looks a bit complicated for me ( I’m an aim and click gal myself) but if the photos of Ashley in your previous post are anything to go by you’ll be turning out some magnificent photos in the weeks and months to come.
Thanks again for stopping by
