Well, again the title is very informative as to what the post is about. As some people may note or know, but I doubt they do, I have done several photo shoots of the figures that I have. It has its own category and its own page that links to the galleries and shows what I have. Anyways, I haven’t done a pos about any of the figures I have for a while, which actually isn’t because I haven’t been getting any new figures. In fact, as it stands right now I have four figures I have yet to do photo shoots, one on the way, and two more preorders so I am behind and approaching being very behind on the photo shoots.

Right now I have the three Max Factory Haruhi girls I haven’t done figure shoots of. (Which is why I choose the brilliantly placed picture of the Haruhi girls holding the Haruhi figures, awesome, I know) The fourth is someone who I won’t tell you, mwahahaha, you’ll have to wait until I get to them. I actually casually mentioned it once in one of the posts I was doing for the show. Anyways, why the hell am I saying all this you may ask? Well I will be resuming these picture posts soon partially due to my new camera I have to try out.

What happened to cause me to get a new one you asked? I know you’ll actually not asking any of these things I’m saying you are, I just stating things like that. Well my old camera broke. Xeby-chan claims leprechauns stole it from her when I let her borrow it. So, instead of buying a camera of equal value I thought why the hell not buy one that is 4x more expensive….so I did.

Now I guess I can’t really show you a picture of the new camera unless I try and do some weird mirror thing which I’m just plain too lazy to do. I did find a picture of the same model which is pretty much the same thing but it’s not actually the camera I own, unless they used it for modeling before shipping, in which case I have a famous camera….

It’s a Nikon S50c. It’s got some very impressive and fun to mess with features as well as, for all I can tell, good picture taking. The features aren’t, all just for fun but some things I’ve found useful in seeing what I can sue for picture taking like burst shots where it will take motley shots and pick the best one based on focus and delete the rest and just continuous picture taking and so on. It’s got an ISO balance thing to help with lighting, which may help in any indoor photo shoots. It’s got one feature I think is really cool but isn’t exactly there to facilitate better pictures. It’s got its own wireless so you can email pictures directly from the camera and wireless upload them to the computer or to photo banks, I think its joined up with flickr on that matter as well.

Well, tell me what you think of the new camera anyone who has experience with digital cameras a lot or figure taking, I’m not completely new but my old digital camera wasn’t this advanced.
