My Birthday isn't until July 29th so you could imagine my shock and excitement when my husband and Jordan went out for a quick little shopping trip early afternoon yesterday and came home with a little surprise for me! They got me a Nikon camera!
I already have a digital camera, a Canon but in the beginning of last summer it stopped working. I tucked it away and just relied on my iPhone. Well, after attending some concerts and live event's we quickly realized iPhone's are perfect for all occasions and lighting conditions. We had talked about getting me a new camera for some time, so I was truly thrilled when they got me this one! It's a Nikon Coolpix L830. I absolutely love it. It isn't a huge fancy DSLR or anything extravagant but it's a big upgrade from all my previous cameras and it's perfect for me, and what I need a camera for. I love it, and took it outside today for a few test images. I need to figure it out still, as I just got it last night after I got home from the boys' soccer games at 9pm but I think it will be easy and quick to figure out!
I can't get over the zoom on this camera. I took a photo of an Airplane that was extremely far and we could hardly see it from where we were and was shocked at what I saw... Just check out some of the shots I got:
Jayden was home so he volunteered to take some action shots with me, and I think they turned out pretty great! I am sure I will get lots of use out of this camera. I'm over the moon with it!

Happy early birthday! I also just got a new camera, the little Canons stopped doing it for me. I love the iPhone and iPad pics, but sometimes you need better! Enjoy!

I want a new camera SO bad! I have a Canon right now but the quality really isn't up to par. I would loev to invest in a Nikon. Can't wait to see your photos with this :) I bet you'll master it in no time.
ReplyDeleteI would love this camera too. Hubs and I bought a cheap digital camera about 2 months ago but this one would so top it!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very nice camera. I have a Nikon and I love mine!
ReplyDeleteThat is so lovely that your hubs and son did that for you.Really great shots i need a camera like this rather than my silly phone camera lol.
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome gift. Happy Early Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI had a Nikon point-and-shoot camera for a long time before I got my Nikon DSLR. I love Nikon cameras!
ReplyDeleteYay!!! Good job DH! A good point-and-shoot is definitely a step up from an iphone and one step closer to a DSLR. You'll be begging for a DSLR in no time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice surprise! My hubby would never ever go and get me a camera! Good job to your hubby!
ReplyDeleteBest gift evah! Happy early birthday.
ReplyDeleteHappy early birthday!!! I'm so happy you got a good camera. The smartphones work great but you are right sometimes you need more! Thanks for the review and photos.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY DANCE. A new camera is on my list of things to buy. (Happy early Birthday)
ReplyDeleteI have a Canon DSLR, but I haven't had the time to fully learn it. I have considered just going back to a point and shoot - this would looks really nice!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome gift! Your pics are great!
ReplyDeleteHappy almost bday! What a great gift!
ReplyDeleteYou're going to have so much summer fun this year with that! I can't believe the detail on the airplane!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great camera. Nice early birthday present. Can't wait to see the pictures.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome gift! My mom has one similar and it takes great photos. I may need to downsize as my Nikon 3100 gets to be a pain some times.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! I got a DSLR for my birthday last year and I love it, but I too need to spend more time learning the ins and outs of the camera. Have you taken any courses? I really want to take a class to get a more hands on learning experience with someone who knows the camera and can teach me what I need to know.
ReplyDeleteYay! New cameras are always fun! This one looks great.
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! I love my Nikon! I spent the first week with it taking pictures of anything and everything!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I love that they surprised you. That's a great camera!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky lady! How awesome they decided to surprise you early with such a great gift!
ReplyDeleteLove your surprise! Great that you're able to capture amazing photos again!
ReplyDeleteThat is so lovely that your husband and son did that for you! The camera is awesome!
ReplyDeleteSweet! That is an awesome birthday present. Have fun with your new camera!
ReplyDeleteOh that is a nice zoom! And a nice present. :) Props to the husband!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou captured some great shots! That's such an awesome gift!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome early birthday gift! You have some great pix there!
ReplyDeleteWow, what an awesome present - I'd be so happy to get this! It takes great shots too!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a thoughtful gift. It looks like you'll be putting this surprise to great use. Love your pics!
ReplyDeleteThat would be THE BEST EVER birthday gift for me also! My birthday is in September, wonder if my parents and sister would be interested in pooling together and getting me one...
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome gift. I have hinted at one recently. I think I'll need to hint for a few more years before one materializes.
