I got a 40D!!!

I GOT A 40D last week!!! Yippea! i have been wanting this camera since Christmas and finally saved enough money for it. Cant wait to learn and use it.

So I thought I would write about all my cameras....

Here they all are [well actually there are still some missing - I have another minolta, another APS and a resusable underwater camera that I forgot to add this this picture, and then of course my moms digital that I use for all the videos you see on Brett's blog, but that is what I am using to take this photo :)].

Starting from the right you have my first "expensive" camera. Its an APS camera that I got from my parents for Christmas 1997. I dropped it and it broke. So I replaced it with a black APS camera which I no longer have, but used from September 1998 - November 2004.

The old minolta - we actually have two of these. The first one is my husband's fathers that hubby took wtih him when we got married in July 2001 and then in the Fall of 2002 I bought one off ebay, so for important photos I used this camera from July 2001-November 2004. Its fully manual, no auto setting of any kind and is how i learned about photography.

In November 2003 I bought that Vivatar digital camera. its a crappy digital, but my first digital camera. It can take some decent images actually but only outside in good light.

November 2004 is important because that is when I bought my first automatically SLR camera. The Canon Eos G2. I stopped using all other cameras at this point.

And my photography improved greatly. BUT then in August 2005 I got my Digital Rebel XT and that is what I have been using ever since, well ever since TODAY (I didnt use the camera over the 4th weekend)! And my photography took off once I had a Digital SLR camera. and now that I have a this even better prolike digital SLR rather then the amateur one, I cant wait to see where I will go from here.

Here I am with my stash :)
