\"Canon<\/a><\/p>\n

Now that my new computer is on the way (two weeks to go, at most…), I’ve started fixating on a new item for my techno-lust: the Canon EOS Digital Rebel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ve had an interest in photography for many years now. I remember playing with my dad’s old SLR camera when I was younger — unfortunately, it didn’t work anymore, but I had fun fiddling around with it. I took one quarter of photography in high school. Not so much that I really remember much of anything, but enough to cement it as a definite interest. However, it’s been a fairly low-level interest for many years.<\/p>\n

Just before I left Anchorage I picked up a nice little Kodak digital camera (the DX3500<\/a>) which has served me well over the past few years. I’ve even managed to come up with a few shots that I really like from time to time (my favorite so far being one of Post Alley<\/a> here in Seattle). The more I play with it, though, the more I wish I had a more full-featured camera, and the Canon EOS looks to be a really good value.<\/p>\n

It’s essentially a full-featured SLR digital camera. 6.1 Megapixel resolution (roughly three times the resolution of my current camera), through-the-lens viewfinder, the ability to accept all of Canon’s EF series lenses<\/a> and Speedlite flashes<\/a>, and all sorts of other goodies. It even got rated ‘Highly Recommended’ by DPReview<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The downside, of course, is that I won’t be able to afford it anytime soon. While the \\$999 price is extremely good for everything you get with the camera, it’s definitely out of my price range anytime in the near future (especially if I ever want to get myself out of debt). Ah, well — such is the way of life, right? At the very least, it’s a goal for the future.<\/p>\n

Of course, if anyone out there is feeling generous at all, you’re welcome to help me out here! ;)<\/p>\n

PayPal donations are accepted, if you go shopping at Amazon through this link<\/a> I’ll get a miniscule percentage of whatever you spend, and, of course, Christmas is only a few short months away. Okay, sure, I’m shameless. But as I’m not expecting anyone to actually chip in, I can’t exactly be disappointed, now can I?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
