Pinch Me!!!

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
