New Camera! :D

[Ceph]

Are you shooting in RAW by any chance? I've been shooting Digital SLR's for about four years now and have just discovered RAW, and I love it!

[Kfamr]

Thanks everyone!

Sophie, It's a DSLR.

Caph, I haven't yet. I am saving up for a larger memory card (and a better lense.) With RAW images I'd only be able to take 1 picture at a time.

[Ceph]

which camera is it? lol, I can take about 150 on my 2gig card...and then I have two other 1gigs...I've been collecting...I have a 20d...and my next goal is a wide lense.

Congrats on the new camera, Kay! I can't wait to see lots more pics from it. You are awesome with a camera!

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi/400 D. It takes Compact Flash I or II - Same cards at my A80, but my A80 was able to take around 400 on the same card.

[Ceph]

lol, thats cause the xti is what 10mega pixels?

Part of me wants to get one and use it as my throw around camera....mmmm...I love camera's...

lol, good choice with canon (lol, canon and nikon wars are always fun )

Those are WONDERFUL pictures!!! That one of Kiki barking at you is PRICELESS! You should use that picture in a thread of it's on and name it "Caption This" and let us have some FUN!

Congrats Kay.. i cannot wait to see more photos of the muttlies . Your photos are looking great so far.

[Lobodeb]

Wonderful pics as usual Kay.

What do you do with your old cameras? Ours has something wrong with it, so I'd love to buy it off of you. Seriously! Please let me know.

[Anita Cholaine]

Congrats Kay!
You already took awesome pics with the other cameras, I can't wait to see what you will be able to do with this one. You did a great job so far

I sold my PowerShot A80 to my dad and I'll be keeping my S2 IS. The DSLR doesn't have video, so I'll be keeping it for that and the zoom. You can find the S2 IS for under $300 though, which is really cheap considering I spent close to $500 when I bought mine.

Ooooh yay! Now we have the same camera! The first shot is really nice. What lens did you get?

[Kfamr]

I was wondering if you had the XTi or the XT. Just the lens that came with it, couldn't afford another lens! I did buy an extra battery, though.

Now tell me - how do you get such great action shots? Do you use a different lens for action shots?

[.sarah]

I was wondering if you had the XTi or the XT.

I have both I bought the XT last June and a few months later the XTi came out. My mom felt bad because she told me it'd probably be longer than that and it was a huge investment for me, so my parents got me the XTi for Christmas I was so shocked!

Now tell me - how do you get such great action shots? Do you use a different lens for action shots?

Yeah, I have to use a different lens. I couldn't get good action shots with the kit lens, it's mostly good for still shots. I shoot in sports mode as well, so if you want to play around with that you may be able to get some to come out. I was never happy with my action shots until I got the other lens, though.

[Kfamr]

Yeah, I was told the shutter speed is probably too fast for the kit lens. I can't wait to save enough for another! Which lens do you have?
