New Camera
We recently got a new camera: a Canon Rebel XSi. I was a little wary of getting an SLR because I didn't want to have to learn to use all the fancy settings for aperture and lighting and blah de blah just to take a picture, but I was up and running with this camera within 5 minutes. I just put it on automatic mode and it already takes better pictures than our old one.
I love it. It's gotten me excited about taking photos again, like when I got my first digital camera 10 years ago. We've been taking tons of pictures. I think one of the reasons it's so fun to use is the lack of shutter lag--it really does make a difference.
It's definitely a lot more to lug around, but we've really been enjoying it.
