New Camera...

With our trip to Europe coming up soon we thought it would be an opportune time to upgrade our camera body. We've been talking about it for a long time and just couldn't bring ourselves to spend the cash.

Well, a trip where we'd be spending most of our time photographing things combined with the increasing frequency of errors on our old camera topped off with an unexpected bonus and some over time means we could finally take the plunge. We bought the 50D from Canon with a new walk about lens with image stabilization.

So far we're really happy with it. The 15MP makes a difference as do the higher ISO's, less noise, and better color handling. Plus it has senor cleaning, focal lock indication, and easier to use controls for ISO, white balance, etc.

I could go on for days but instead I'll leave you with this one last picture....From the amazingly fragrant magnolia tree at my neighbors!
