It’s here, it’s here!

My new toy is here… Canon’s Digital Rebel XT, a whopping 8 MP of pixelated goodness!

See, over a year ago I sold the NikonCoolPix 5700 I had because I never did get used to it. It didn’t feel comfortable in my hands and I was never happy with its initial performance so we sold it to recover some of the money Kenny spent on it. I then asked him not to replace it because I had been too busy to really run around on photo shoots like I used to. Instead I had him upgrade my “party pic” camera (Canon Elph S410).

Well, it’s been way too long and I am missing that creative side of me. I have become too overwhelmed with work issues and I have neglected the artistic side for way too long. Kenny was noticing this and has been wanting to get me a digital Rebel since they came out. I finally gave him the go-ahead and he ordered it for me this past week.

I am just so thrilled to have it in my hands. My old, trusty, wonderful Elph is great for parties but I was getting so frustrated lately because it has no macro capabilities and it isn’t meant to be taking creative, artistic photos that I used to enjoy taking. I hope to try it out this weekend if the weather cooperates (it might not). Yay. I’m just so excited! LOL!

    Congratulations on your new camera! I upgraded from a Nikon 5700 (although I did like mine) to a Canon digital SLR as well and I love it. The photos come out so smooth and professional looking. I firmly believe Canon makes the best cameras in the market. I hope you get some great photographic opportunities this weekend! 🙂

    oooh, yay! That’s what I have. I love it. LOVE IT. It’s just right for my current functional level. I hope I can learn more and eventually upgrade. You will love it, it takes wonderful shots. I can’t wait to see what you do with it!

    where’d you end up getting it? so far the cheapest place that I’ve found is Amazon.com. it’s a tad under $699 after the $100 mail-in rebate. I want one so badly, but we just got the laptop, so I’m waiting and hoping that it keeps going down in price.
