My new toy came today

And yes, it is an expensive toy. When John and I were in Orlando last winter and went to the Wild Kingdom, I realized that we each need a very good camera. We were trying to take turns with the Canon Rebel Digital SLR camera. I realized that I was getting frustrated and grumpy when John was taking pictures. I decided then that I would get my own digital SLR someday.

I tried a nice little Olympus digital, but it's not an SLR and it was pretty inexpensive, and I think I'll try to sell it on Ebay at this point - and I had trouble taking pictures without a viewfinder.

So, knowing that John and I will be visiting San Diego in a week (where we will finally get to meet Da Goddess and maybe the Cheese Mistress and Lt. Smash), I decided to get myself one that I will not have to share.

So, this is the Rebel XT that came today.

I am very impressed so far. There is a redeye setting in the camera itself, and it works beautifully! Normally, when I take a picture of Houdini, his eyes are crazy dog red - with this camera, they are beautiful brown. Very impressed, I am!

Pictures will follow!
