New Toy!

For Christmas this year Katie and I decided to get each other a bunch of small gifts and go in together on a great new digital camera. See our old Canon Elph turned out to be a factory dud and now the lens will not go back within the body. We could pay to get it fixed, but since it didn't take great pictures anyway we decided to be good consumers and buy a new one. After much research we decided to get the new Panasonic Lumix LX-3.

It has full manual control, a super fast F2 leica lens, shoots HD movies, and a 24mm wide angle (great for interior shots). I can't wait until the weather warms up to take this out around town. Plus, it makes a great camera for Katie to learn how to take manual photos.

The splurge didn't end there either. Well, if you have a great new camera you "need" a great camera bag right??? We were sick of those boring black camera bags, and to be perfectly honest we just wanted a case as beautiful as our camera.
The whisky brown leather is extremely soft and has that great vintage look to it. I am sure we will get more compliments on the bag than the camera - as this photo does it no justice.

So, look forward to better photos and videos from both katie and I in the new year.
