…for a whole lotta pictures, because I got a new camera! We decided to go the Canon route this time, and after a somewhat strange and definitely interesting Craigslist encounter, bought a like-new Rebel XS, and an 18-200 lens. I LOVE this camera. I can’t wait to sit down with the manual and really figure out everything it can do, but in the meantime, enjoy these random point-and-shoot shots I snapped this afternoon:

so how much does something like that cost?
i only have a 12.1 megapixel point&shoot and i can tell that it's going to limit what i'm able to do. there's no extra money for an SLR camera but i just thought i'd ask just in case i stumble onto one that i possibly could afford.
Well if you're buying brand-new, the kits start at around $500 (body, lens, strap, etc) Because we really shopped around and bought used, we paid about that much for the camera AND a nice 18-200 lens that ordinarily sells for $400-500 all by itself. Gotta love deals. 🙂
I have a Rebel xs. 🙂 But haven't fiddled around with the manual stuff as much as I'd like.
P.S. That new blog button is hawt! ; D
Jessica, I'm excited that you have the same camera. You get some amazing pictures!!
And thanks, this super cool girl made it for me. I think you two would hit it off. 😀
P.S. Your site is taking a long time to load lately. Have you viewed it lately and seen the notice about needing to update your layout codes?
Oh NO, I just went to update my codes and they don't have my background anymore! I guess I'll have to start from scratch. Thanks!
Believe it or not, my background is just one offered by blogger. Lol. But I've since saved the image so that I can use it on my own and so I won't be so afraid of blogger taking it away one day.
YAY!! You got a new camera!!
