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
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
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!

Heh - Hubster and I bought the 20D a coupla months ago! I love the whole series, and Canon in general. Plus, we can keep using the same lenses we have for the film SLR!

We now have 3 Cannon Rebel cameras - the first one is a 34mm I bought with my small inheritance from my dad. The second one is the SLR digital that John pretty much took over and now, I have the smaller version of John's - with more memory, megapixels, etc.
We have a lovely big zoom lens that I bought years ago for my 35 mm Rebel - that's why we stay with the brand - that and the fact that they are great cameras for us!

My husband gave me a Rebel EOS and I am in camera heaven. I have taken some great pictures!
