So last summer we lost our digital camera. It wasn't a paticularly nice camera, but it took pictures (about the time your subjects had turned away and given up on it-damn delay!). The last time we knew we had it was Disneyland in May. We kept talking about a new camera and digging in all the places we could think of around the house. We just knew that as soon as we purchased a new one the old one would show-up. In the meantime we were back to our old 35mm camera which is a much nicer camera and takes wonderful pictures, but $8 later you get a roll of developed pictures to find that 4 of the 24 are worth a darn! I didn't like throwing all that money away. So as Christmas approached we had given-up hope that the old camera would appear, even if we bought a new one, and did our research on which camera would be our Christmas present to each other. We settled on the Canon Rebel XTi. Much more like our old 35mm this a supreme camera for a novice. If this camera takes a bad picture it is purely operator error.
New Year's Eve rolls around and we are hanging out with some long-time friends we hardly ever see. We've been enjoying and learning a lot about our new camera for a solid two weeks now. Its been a long evening with 4 cranky, over-tired children in the house. At 11:45 we start getting ready to head outside to blow our party horns and light some left-over fire works from the 4th of July. Brian goes to the garage and finds the bag of fireworks and tucked inside is THE CAMERA!!! No kidding....we just knew it would show-up as soon as we bought a new one.
Now, however, we are hooked on the new much nicer camera...so I guess we'll just have two! Stay tuned as we learn how to use it, hopefully we'll have some fun pictures to share.
