As people here might have seen, I rather like to take pictures. Well, back in December I replaced my aging Kodak DC4800<\/a> with a Nikon Coolpix 3200<\/a>. While the Coolpix 3200 is a really nice pocket sized point and shoot camera, I was running into problems with not being able to adjust the aperture, autofocus areas, things like that.<\/p>\n

I had been thinking of getting a Digital SLR like the well-known Nikon D70<\/a>, but the price on them was a bit high.<\/p>\n

Well, one day when shopping at one of my favorite good-food stores Costco<\/a>, I saw they had Nikon Coolpix 5400<\/a> cameras for $499.99, with a $200 instant rebate. I ended up picking one up, and I just have to say wow. This seems to do exactly what I’ve been wanting, and for right about $300!<\/p>\n

I must recommend that anyone looking for a very controllable pro-am digital camera check out this deal. The price is great and so is the camera. It even supports RAW mode after you upgrade the firmware. Yay!<\/p>\n

Here’s some photo links:<\/p>\n

· Quick test pictures I took with the Coolpix 5400 while making lunch.<\/a>
\n· Example of the depth of field problems I was having with the Coolpix 3200.<\/a>
\n· Lacking a center spot mode, this photo was also hard to capture with the Coolpix 3200<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh, I forgot to mention the noodle bowl. It was very good, although rather high on sodium. It was a nice sesame miso soup with a well-textured noodle. There was whole sesame seeds along with oil, and quite a bit of flavor. I’ll definitely be buying this one again. They are available at Meijer stores in the ‘International Foods’ section, and most likely lots of other stores.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
