REVIEW: Canon Power Shot SX170 IS

It's been Too Long!!

How are you all since my last post? I have been so occupied and busy with a few personal things that I have not been able to post. I also needed a new camera too so I can take videos and do other stuff. I'm so happy to say that I will be reviewing this camera that I actually had doubts about until I get the camera I want. To be honest, this camera is actually really good and better than expected too. SO HERE IS A REVIEW ON THIS CAMERA!! Hope You all enjoy!!

SELF REVIEW:
This camera is actually really nice an convenient because it's not too big nor small. You will need a case for the camera overall because it's width is as big as a quarter. I personally like this camera and the pictures themselves come out great with many options to take pictures such as:
 - MOVIE: Captures video to extend length of memory card
 - DISCREET:  Turns off all sound and flash for discreet
 - FISH-EYE EFFECT: Shoots with an effect with fish-eye lens
 - SCN [PORTRAIT]: Get the best out of people shots
 - AUTO: Determines scene and chooses optimum setting
 - LIVE: Easy picture adjustments to create desired effects
 - P [PROGRAM]: Set various camera functions
 - Tv [SHUTTER SPEED PRIORITY]: Set shutter speed, camera will select aperture
 - Av [APERTURE PRIORITY]: Set aperture, camera will select shutter speed
 - M [MANUAL]: Set aperture and shutter speed for max flexibility


I personally like Canon cameras because they always seem to work well for me and for all the events I usually go to. I also like Canon cameras too.

The things I don't like about this camera is the fact that the flash is not really automatic. You have to lift the flash-light to make flash happen which kind of is dumb. When I opened the box and looked straight at the camera, it did not come a with peek hole and just a screen shot which also sucks because what if it's too bright outside and you can't see the screen?

Overall Review:

This camera is not a bad choice for first timers f you are thinking of going to easy-understanding route and it does take great pictures without flash and also without places with a lot of lighting, it does take some outstanding photos too. I am happy about a lot of things on this camera and the few things I don't like, I can compromise with because the camera has a lot of good things too.
This camera is easy, light weight, convenient, and easy to function even without being a professional photographer. An easy-first time photographer camera.

That is all for this review. I hope you all have a wonderful week. I am OFFICIAL turning 21 on the 15th of May, so I am excited and will have my first Vlog up for the Year. Thank you for reading and until next time to you all ^^

I WILL SEE YOU ALL IN MY NEXT POST~

Finally, My Maternity Pictures!

Hello friends,

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend.  Our weekend consisted of time with family and friends, some organizational projects and time in the kitchen baking a new dessert (with a little rest in between for this mommy-to-be).  If you read my last pregnancy update (here), I mentioned that I was going to post my maternity photos last week.  I originally intended on posting them on Sunday (remember that pinking promise, sorry!) but a slight change of plans moved the date to today.  My husband and I felt compelled to fast from technology for a day - that day being Sunday.  It felt great to disconnect from all social media - it helped us focus our attention on what truly  matters most. 

I am back this week happier than ever to share this post with you.  Our dear friend volunteered to take our maternity pictures a couple of weeks back (big money savings right there) and I quickly accepted the offer.  We were blown away with his photography skills and couldn't be happier with the end result, he did an amazing job!  He listened to my ideas and was able to capture this beautiful moment perfectly.  As difficult as it was, I was able to narrow down my selection process to 18 pictures from the 60+ photos we got.  I hope you like them as much as we do.

 

I had a blast!  It truly was a one-of-a kind experience that I will always remember.  Next on the agenda is our son's first photo shoot!  I can't hardly wait for that one.  I've already spent countless hours browsing Pinterest for newborn photo ideas. :)  See why we needed a little technology break? :)

Hope everyone has a great week!

29 Pregnancy Week Update

Hello friends,

I am back with another little update at almost 30 weeks.  The single digit count down will soon commence and I couldn't be happier.  As you will see, not much has changed from last week but I am not complaining one bit.  Let's jump right into it.

1. How far along? 29.3 weeks 
2. Maternity clothes:  No new purchases this week.
   
3. Stretch marks: Still none to report. :)
4. Sleep:  Got worse this week, bummer.  Mother nature is really putting me to the test.
   
5. Best moment this week:  Sharing our maternity pictures with family and friends. 
   
6. Miss anything: Being able to sleep through the night, but I guess those days are over so I might as well enjoy the little sleep that I am getting now. haha
   
7. Food cravings:  No.
8. Anything making you feel sick or queasy:  Not really
   
9. Gender: Boy!
10. Symptoms:  Back to normal this week.  This pregnancy has really been good to me and I am so thankful for that (well, except for #4 above).
    
11. Wedding rings on or off? On
12. Happy or moody? Excited and anxious to meet my little boy.
13. Looking forward to: Completing the nursery.  This has been my absolute favorite home project thus far.  Especially because I got to share the experience with my dear husband who was very involved and helped turn my ideas into reality.  Loved that. :)

I haven't forgotten and will post my maternity pictures later this week, pinky promise.

Have a great week and thank you for reading.
