And Here Cometh the Digital Rebel

After two months of going back and forth of what would my next camera be, and having started my research with a budget of $300, I bought yesterday the camera I had settled on, the Canon Digital Rebel XTi. I dished out $1,200 for the camera, a memory card, and a lens. A little higher than the budget I thought I would end up spending when I decided to buy a new camera!

Going with a DSLR camera, not a camera point-and-shoot, was something I hadn’t expected I would be doing too. But in my search for a camera, my most important criteria was that the camera would capture high quality, noiseless, low-light photos. I had fed up with the useless performance of compact camera’s in low light, and wanted something that can actually produce good photos indoors.

So far, the camera is popping out amazing pictures, even in Automatic mode. I still have much to read and time to experiment to get everything I can out of this investment, but till then, check out below some macros and photos from the Farmer’s Market!
