I fell hard for Photography in college. So much so that I tried to make it my major. Unfortunately my school did not offer this as an option but I did make a minor out of it and I was pretty good at it. I landed myself an A in all of my black and white photography courses. Of course that was back when we used film. I upgraded my traditional single lens reflex (SLR) to the digital version after my daughter was born. I’d resigned myself to being a photographer by hobby, and what better use of a camera than to photograph my beautiful new daughter?
Emma is turning 6 in just a few weeks, so I think it’s time to upgrade my DSLR. I’ll be visiting the Best Buy Holiday Gift Center to choose my new camera. I just hope Santa thinks I’ve been good enough.
Best Buy is an excellent place to compare and contrast cameras and camcorders and all of the available options because they’re all available in one store. All of the following come equipped with built-in Wi-Fi so you can share amazing photos instantly, and as a blogger and a mom that really appeals to me. Especially at a time like this; the best memories are made around the holidays.

I would love one of those gifts from Santa this Christmas! Great ideas!
I am not camera shopping this holiday season but I will be looking after the new year. I have my eye on the Nikon.
I like that there are so many camera options out there now. A camera w/wifi…and apps! That’s awesome. :)
I am hoping to make it to Best Buy this weekend. I need a good point and shoot camera.
