SLR Camera

Once we realized we had to rely on luck to get the great shot, I decided it was time to splurge and get an SLR camera. I considered Pentax, Nikon and Canon. I finally decided to go with Canon over Nikon due to personal preference.

I decided to purchase a Canon Rebel and headed to the Boxing Day Sale at Future Shop. Future Shop had sold out of the Rebel and was not offering Rain Checks. My sister is a professional photographer and uses a Canon 20D. My dad bought a Canon 30D last year after the 40D was released. Since the 50D is now on the market I decided to go all out and buy the 40D. It was $1000 and every photo I have taken is fantastic. You can read detailed reviews but in short it is amazing! I decided to take a course at the Fredericton Craft College, so I will know more about composition and lighting. I am so happy that we spent the cash!

The quality of our photos has changed dramatically. It used to be a dream to get one or two good photos and now all of them are amazing. No matter what SLR you buy, it is worth the purchase. Although, my favourite is still the Canon.
