I usually don't get all that excited about my birthday. I'm about to turn 36 for crying out loud. I'm getting a new camera this year. My old piece of crap can't do a decent close-up (no macro mode even). It has a max of 3.2 megapixels and the battery compartment is held on with tape. Well, the one I'm getting isn't super expensive but it is really nice and has 8 megapixels and manual settings so I can get closeups of my artwork, dolls, and doll clothes/ accessories. I haven't been able to post stuff or sell anything because there is no detail to my photos. No one is going to buy a blur! Here is a link to the camera: [link] It doesn't cost but $10 more than my piece of poo Kodak I bought four years ago. I won't be affording a DSLR anytime soon, but this is a step up for sure.
