My Project

The yearbook staff at my school has the very basic DSLR cameras. They need the next step up that can take better pictures in the dark and adjust the aperture and shutter speed more easily. The cameras they currently have are over 10 years old and their shutter count is very high.

Please help my scholars be able to take better pictures for the yearbook.

We are an award winning yearbook program and would love to make our photos even greater. A new camera would be the biggest surprise ever for the staff. Thank you for considering my project.
