Snap
I’ve been contemplating getting a new camera for the longest time. Not a little point and shoot one, I already have one of those, but an SLR, one to replace my old Digital Rebel. For the past few months I’ve been eyeing up the Canon 40D and today, I finally pulled the trigger and bought it.
I have no question about how the camera will perform, but I am wondering just how the lens will work out. I ordered a package from US1Photo.com (I’d never heard of it, but it got great ratings and offered the best price I’ve seen for what I got), which includes a Canon 17-85 IS USM lens. It’s not a “fast” lens per se, but it does have a large range. I figure it’s almost the same as what I had with my Rebel, so it’s not like taking a step down.
If things go as planned, I’ll have the camera by the end of next week. I plan to use it like crazy when I go to Asia in April. Expect to see some test shots once I get it.
