I've always been interested in photography. I recently decided to dive into even more.
I finally upgraded from simple point and shoots to DSLR.
my older equipment:
Kodak Easyshare 8MP {I dropped, but it still functions}
AT&T Z431 GoPhone {my cellphone}
My first DSLR: Nikon D5200

Oh, I was enamored with it the moment I unboxed. I had to try out every gadget that came with it.
I tested it by taking random pictures around my room. The lcd monitor was cool because you could fold it out and tilt it.
It came with a Tamaron lens that was super huge, and really cool. I had trouble putting it on because it didn't have the white dot like the kit lens. I didn't force it but had trouble lining it up- then I got it on. Well I'm not exactly sure what went wrong {did I accidentally squeeze the lcd monitor? Did the lens do something screwy?} I'm not sure but now the lcd monitor has strange lines and pixels that 'bleed'.
So I decided to buy an external lcd monitor I could connect to it.

Worried that the bleeding pixels would show up on the external monitor, also my Dad wanted to have a camera of his own. I decided to buy a new dslr camera.
My second DSLR: Nikon D3300
I am so glad that I have this model. It functions basically the same as the Nikon D5200, but the lcd is stationary- which makes me feel a little safer.
Of course with every new large purchase usually requires a bunch of small purchases.
I had to get a bunch of different hdmi cords to expand my functionality.
I wanted to able to plug my Nikon D3300 into my slightly dated monitor, so I needed a HDMI to DVI dongle. Then so that I had more than 3 feet {the HDMI that came with the camera} I bought and extention cord- HDMI standard (Type C) to HDMI mini (Type A).
