Pinch me! Pinch me!
OH. MY. GOSH!!! My Dad got me one of the brand-new Canon 40D's for Christmas!!!
With a Tamron AF 28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 VC (Vibration Control) lens!!!
I am just giddy over it!! I've had my Nikon D70 (which I've LOVED) for 3+ years now and just recently have started considering upgrade options. I was looking at the new D80 as I couldn't afford much more than that.
So getting this new Canon 40D has just blown me away! It is SO much more camera than I could ever have gotten myself! Granted, I will need a couple new Canon lenses now, but dang! This camera is AMAZING!
I played with it a bit on Christmas Day taking indoor snapshots of dinner, opening gifts, etc. and it is absolutely incredible in low-light! HUGE improvement from what I'm used to. Also took some winter scenery shots and even with the high-contrast "white" snowy pictures, the contrast and color is spot on. WOW! I feel like a kid in a candy store... rediscovering the magic of photography all over again!
I'll share some pics as soon as I get them downloaded. WOW! Just WOW!!! THANK YOU DAD!!!
A belated but VERY Merry Christmas to you all!! ~Christine



So, let us see what that little puppy can do! Wow, what fun! Thank you to your dad in a big way! He really loves you!
