There's this camera that I've been eyeing for quite a while. I've always had a special love of photography but haven't paid much attention to it for several years. But I couldn't stop thinking about this one camera. I would spend hours looking around online at various photo sites comparing images and specs. Not having ever purchased a digital SLR, I didn't know what most users were talking about.
Just after Christmas, my camera went on sale. I still didn't move on it, preferring instead to admire it from afar. I guess you could say I had a bit of a camera crush. One day, though, I got bold enough to go into a store and ask to see it. The sales person wasn't very impressed by my request. "This one's better....it's the one I have," he said as he pointed to one that I knew was actually a lower model. I asked him why he liked that one better. He mentioned a couple of features that I knew "my" camera also possessed. I replied, "Okay, but this one (the one I wanted) does bracketing....yours doesn't." I should have walked out when he said "I don't know what that is," but I didn't. Impressionable person that I am, I actually bought the one he recommended....
It sat there in its shiny new box on my kitchen table for three days. "Aren't you going to open your new camera?" my husband asked. "I guess....but it's not the one I really wanted." "Then go back and get the one you want."
So I did. And I was ecstatic. I still have no idea how to use it, what it's actually capable of....I just know it's what I wanted.
Don't settle. Don't let someone else tell you what you want. Only you can decide that for yourself.
