 Saved up my pennies (with a little help from an early birthday gift) and got *her*. I stuck with Canon since I already had two other lenses from my 35mm days and I really do *heart* Canon. She is the newest arrival from Canon and is literally the baby of the dslr bunch. She is smallest and lightest of them all, so petite is she! (I should have put a pink bow on her darn-it!) As I did my research I realized that the weight issue ended up being a big deal for me with how I wanted to use the camera. I'm not a professional, although I wouldn't mind being a prosumer someday. I believe this camera will take me to where I need to go even as my needs change. And, to make it even better, she was the least costly model (even though this newest arrival apparently has significant upgrades from the previous one). Yeah!

Yeah!I'm having fun trying new things and looking forward to taking a couple classes on how to use it from Creve Coeur Camera. I decided to go to the pro's when getting this baby so I would have more support and direction then I've ever gotten before. Best Buy, although a great store, just doesn't care too much once you've left the premises.
Just as with any new baby you have to buy cute clothes. So, I'm looking closely at one of these:
 
  
 

and also this:

The strap I can swing now, but the uber cool camera bag will have to wait. So, which strap do you think?
 
 


i vote for the one with green polka dots. congrats on your new baby!
Hooray for you!! Have fun!! for the strap, the pink on pink is so sweet. but you can't go wrong with any of them.
Also, have you seen the straps on etsy that you wrap around your original strap and can switch with your mood?? (plus are good if JB didn't want to have pink polka-dots around his neck someday) hee hee.
