A blogger should invest in a good camera

If I wanna take good pictures for my blogs, I better start investing in a good camera and then teach myself some basic photography.

I reckon there at least 12 steps to ensure a happy camera-buying experience for any novice...

Step 1: do some homework and find out about good value cameras that take decent pictures, yet simple enough for a beginner to operate

Step 2: ensure enough credit limit on the credit card

Step 3: walk into a camera store

Step 4: ask to test the cameras

Step 5: commit - ask for the retail price and start bargaining

Step 6: after agreeing on a price, ask for accessories (free!)

Step 7: bargain some more

Step 8: ask store keeper to assemble the camera before your eyes

Step 9: take some pictures with the new camera, meanwhile ask the sales guy to stamp the warranty card

Step 10: pay

Step 11: take a picture of the sales guy, in case you wanna refer back to the person at a later date


Step 12: do not check prices on ebay after purchase!
