So I have sucessfully murdered my camera. It died a slightly exciting death. I was passing it to my best friends stepdad so he could take a picture of me and the rest of my early college english class with our profersser at the state capitol when I being the huge klutz I am dropped it and it passed on to the camera afterlife. So now I am looking for a new camera and I have no clue what kind to get or what the best brand is. I'm really intersted in photography and would like to get a slightly more uspscale camera then I had. I would love some help on the matter so come forth with your recommendations!!! I am clueless so any input is appreaciated!! thank you!!
