New Camera


With the little one on the way we decided it was time to step into the DSLR realm.

After sitting on the fence for a while between the Canon Rebel XS and the Nikon D3000 we decided on the Canon. We had originally planned on picking up a kit at Best Buy on black friday but ended up finding a better deal online.

This is the kit we picked up off Amazon:
  • Rebel XS Body
  • 18-55mm Lens
  • 75-300mm Lens
  • 8GB Card
  • USB card reader
  • Spare battery
  • Carrying case
Battery is currently charging so no fun w/ it yet. I find it funny that I had to take a picture of my new fancy camera on my old P&S.

What made you go for the XS? No interest in video? You'll certainly have the advantage of Canon's vast lens selection and the body can be upgraded in the future.

we plan on getting a flip-like video or small handheld in the future. after talking with some of our friends who have little ones, they got the most use out of video this way.

so far we've taken about 20 pictures and every single one is of the dog...
