January 7, 2013. My kids’ 3-week vacation ends. We spent a chilly hour at the park.
I took photos with my Nikon 1 (affixed with the 18.5mm f/1.8
lens). I am in love with this little camera. I still adore my D7000, but this baby is just so handy! I also don’t feel like such a weirdo when I bring it out. The giant DSLR makes me feel like I’m screaming, “LOOK AT ME! I have a camera! I take photos! Ask me to take your photo!” when I bring it out. I need to work on my confidence.
Anyway. I love this camera and it helps me capture special moments with my boys. I didn’t even notice I was taking photos of each of them doing the same thing (sorta) while we were there.
They did some:

sliding! Fast slides are the best.
It was pretty great. They’re back at school and, I gotta say, I miss these faces.

Love these, the colors are wonderful! I’ve been looking to upgrade to a D600 but I keep reading about mirrorless cameras and I’m so intrigued! Do you have any cons that you can think of versus your DSLR?
