We (my camera and I) will be celebrating later, sometime, when young LBJ is 18 perhaps :))<BR/><BR/>Hi John! Thanks very much, highly appreciated to hear that from you! My next step will probably be to upgrade my lens. The camera is phantastic, but I have yet to find out how to change the individual settings so that I get the same quality pics as with the "point and shoot" mode. Up to now, my "individual" pics tend to be darker and duller than with the automatic settings.<BR/><BR/>Thank you Corey. A 40D? Well, eventually. My strategy - with limited fundings - was to get a decent camera with an inexpensive lens. Then, in sort of a zigzag mode, upgrade the lens, then upgrade the camera, then upgrade the lens again,... That's why I got myself a Canon. For the money the Dig Rebel cost me, I could probably have gotten another camera with a few more fancy features, but once you get towards the high end of things, it seems nothing beats Canon.<BR/><BR/>Larry, I wonder what my wife would say!? :)))<BR/><BR/>Thanks Mon@rch! The camera is a very nice toy, especially the 10 Mpixel which allow for a healthy amount of cropping (good enough for blogging purposes anyway). I do have a ton or more of other pics, many still from my time in the US, but so little time to blog with/about them, it is a shame!Jochenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852825311605464857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647395313001100441.post-61657155502076873962008-04-30T04:25:00.000+02:002008-04-30T04:25:00.000+02:00Congrats and didn't know you had this DSLR!

Keep the great photos coming!<BR/><BR/>I have had my Rebel XTI for more than a year and a half, and I loved every minute of it.<BR/><BR/>As technology changes, I have purchased, just last week, a Canon 40D. Both cameras, with a Canon 100-400mm L IS lense attached, will have many years of service.<BR/><BR/>JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647395313001100441.post-81664996789152481792008-04-28T15:35:00.000+02:002008-04-28T15:35:00.000+02:00Congrats to you and your camera.
