New Toy

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

The wonderful thing about digital photography is that it’s possible to get good quickly; with a digital camera, as opposed to film, one is able to get instant feedback on the quality and composition of one’s photos, and because you’re able to delete bad pictures immediately, there’s no need to waste time and money on printing bad images. I’ve been wanting this camera for awhile, but had decided against actually getting it, but when my boss got one I was instantly awed by its power and versatility. So I went ahead and pulled the trigger. Readers, meet the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi.

In an effort to be less of a consumer, however, this is my last major purchase for 2008, and quite likely for 2009 as well. Toys are nice and all, but my life’s got enough stuff in it.

    That’s one of the camera’s I am considering investing in. I’ve heard so many good things about it.

    I have to say, I really like it. At first I was irritated that you couldn’t turn off the flash in basic shooting modes, but I’m slowly learning that this is a good thing in that it’s forcing me to learn my way around the advanced modes, which I probably wouldn’t have done otherwise.
