A Fujifilm X-S1. It has 3 stabilised lenses in it, and so many features I don't even know what to do with them yet :D I had a Panasonic Lumix T20 point and shoot but I was never happy with indoor shots with it, so hubby let me get this for my 40th. He says it's my birthday, Christmas and anniversary presents for the next 5 years. LOL!

Although today is officially my birthday, I've had the camera since Boxing Day, so have had a chance to play around with it a little, and I am SOOOOOO happy with the results. Indoor shots are a dream now - I can't believe the amount of light it captures - and of course outdoor shots look fantastic. I hardly have to edit my photos for scrapping at all compared to the Lumix. I still have a LOT to learn - it's a big step up from a point and shoot. Now I have to go study up on apeture (?), shutter speed, and ISO etc.

Hubby has earned some serious brownie points for this :wub:

What a great present. Well done husband. Happy birthday Jacinda, we share this day for birthdays :)
 
Happy Birthday Helen! I hope you have a great day. Hubby is still asleep, and the kids are with my parents till lunchtime, so I think today will be pretty quiet. We're off camping tomorrow, so lots of things to pack and get ready.
 
oh, that is awesome!! I'll totally have to keep this one in mind when I need to upgrade... ;)

And happy birthday, Jacinda and Helen!! They say that New Year's babies are the luckiest... is that true? Well, Jacinda you just got a new camera... hahahaha :D
 
Happy Birthday girls!

And Jacinda, the camera looks great! Have tons of fun with it!
 
Great gift! Happy Birthday Ladies! I just read some where that people born on January 1st are considered the luckiest people. Hope it holds true for you both. :)

Well I do think I'm pretty lucky :D New Zealand is ahead of the US by timezone, so it's January 2nd here already. The 2nd is my birthday.
