My New Camera

I have a camera. I asked a friend and fellow blogger what type camera she shot with and she recommended the Nikon Coolpix S8100. I went to Target about a week later and realized that it was on clearance. The camera was originally $299 but I swooped it up for only $149. I was so happy about the price but I was a little sceptical about the camera since it was on clearance. I came home and didn't take pictures right away. I did take pictures for my son's first birthday and I LOVE this camera. It is so easy to use and it takes great pictures. I am totally pleased with this purchase. Nikon gets 2 thumbs up from me. If you are looking to replace your camera, please consider the Coolpix S8100.
