I remember playing with my dad&#8217;s old SLR camera when I was younger &#8212; unfortunately, it didn&#8217;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&#8217;s been a fairly low-level interest for many years.<\/p>\n<p>Just before I left Anchorage I picked up a nice little Kodak digital camera (the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kodak.com\/eknec\/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=108&amp;pq-locale=en_US\" title=\"Kodak DX3500\">DX3500<\/a>) which has served me well over the past few years. I&#8217;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 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.djwudi.com\/wudivisions\/archives\/2003\/06\/08\/post_alley_seattle_wa.php\" title=\"Post Alley, Seattle, WA\">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<p>It&#8217;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&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usa.canon.com\/eflenses\/\" title=\"EF Lenses Home\">EF series lenses<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usa.canon.com\/html\/cameras_speedlite\/index.html\" title=\"Speedlite\">Speedlite flashes<\/a>, and all sorts of other goodies. It even got rated <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/reviews\/canoneos300d\/\" title=\"EOS 300D \/ Digital Rebel Review\">&#8216;Highly Recommended&#8217; by DPReview<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The downside, of course, is that I won&#8217;t be able to afford it anytime soon. While the \\$999 price is extremely good for everything you get with the camera, it&#8217;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 &#8212; such is the way of life, right? At the very least, it&#8217;s a goal for the future.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if anyone out there is feeling generous at all, you&#8217;re welcome to help me out here! ;)<\/p>\n<p>PayPal donations are accepted, if you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/redirect-home\/djwudicom-20\" title=\"Shop at Amazon\">go shopping at Amazon through this link<\/a> I&#8217;ll get a miniscule percentage of whatever you spend, and, of course, Christmas is only a few short months away. Okay, sure, I&#8217;m shameless. But as I&#8217;m not expecting anyone to actually chip in, I can&#8217;t exactly be disappointed, now can I?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that my new computer is on the way (two weeks to go, at most&hellip;), I&#8217;ve started fixating on a new item for my techno-lust: the Canon EOS Digital Rebel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2043,2050],"tags":[13],"class_list":["post-1750","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-personal","category-photography","tag-life"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1750"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1750\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
