The salesperson at Best Buy accidentally sold me a NEX-3 when I went to purchase the NEX-5. BUT… I got lucky when i went to exchange it.

The NEX-5 is $50 or so more (except right now, where they’re on sale via the Sony website) and it’s out of stock pretty much EVERYWHERE IN THE MIDWEST

BUT— the day I just happened to go in to return the NEX-3 and order the NEX-5 for future whenever delivery, they JUST HAPPENED to have an OPEN BOX NEX 5.

Since it was open box, it was only $15 MORE.

FATE!

I’m not a photographer and I don’t deserve this camera. But I’m loving it so far.

This woman leaves me at a loss for words. Talk about talent and ambition!

She constantly perfects her craft, never waits for anyone to do something for her in order to move forward, and knows how to capture beauty unlike many top pros in her field.
