Savvy Entertaining

A little more than a year ago, I fell in love… with a digital SLR camera.

Not just any camera, mind you, but the Canon EOS Rebel T1i. One was purchased for me to use at work and I loved, loved, loved it. I dreamed about it. I wished it was mine. I wanted to bring it home and pet it and call it George.

So I decided to save all my pennies and buy my own. Just a few weeks ago, I busted open the piggy bank and ordered the Canon EOS Rebel T2.

My history with Canon Rebels goes way back to my newspaper days when I used to burn through a couple rolls of film a day. It was a great camera and despite many user errors, took really nice photos.

I discovered the lenses from my old Rebel would interchange with the new DSLR cameras and knew without a doubt I had to have one. Not that I didn’t have a functional camera. My little point and shoot digital took good photos and required no thought on my part other than to hold it steady when I pushed the button. But I wanted something more.

Something that could take photos up close and personal. Something like

and this…

and this.

I’m beyond giddy with joy with my new camera.

As soon as I figure out how to use all the 839 functions it has available, I’ll let you know!
