I don’t aspire to be a great photographer, but who doesn’t like some nice photos every once and a while? I have been wanting to buy a DSLR camera for quite some time now. Originally, I was waiting for affordable DSLRs with GPS built-in for geotagging my photos. I am a Geographer after all. I got tired of waiting though and decided to take the plunge without the GPS.
Anyway, I told my dad my budget and he went to his account on Consumer Reports to research the best overall camera for me. I wanted it all; clear action shots, close-up lady bug shots, low light bar shots, and the occasional wide open scenery shot. Oh and it had to be compatible with both Windows and Mac based computers.
He came back with the Canon EOS Rebel XSi (aka 450D) w/ lens. The suggested retail price was just out of my range, but I then found it marked down on a trusted website and put it in my shopping cart.
I have been playing with it off and on for about 6 hours now, and still have A LOT to learn, but I am pretty pleased as of right now.
