Picked up a DSLR today.

As you can probably guess by the new forum.

Here's my new cam, Canon Rebel XT 8MP DSLR, taken with my P&S, the trusty SD600 of 1,000 picstories.

I've wanted a DSLR for friggin' ages. Total cost was around $800 including a second battery, 8GB memory card, slick-as-fuck carrying case and a new tripod.

And the same pic, taken with the SLR on auto, no-flash.

I absolutely love the SD600. My buddy has one, and it takes some really fuckin' good pics. Nice score, dude!

Chris · 10-24-2007, 07:17 PM

Thanks man. I've had the SD600 for ages, the dent on the top left is from it being dropped inside an opal mine in a place called Andamooka.

I broke the first one because I'm a dumbass and put it in the same pocket with my keys at a party once, and the keys poked the LCD. Got another one (and a handy case) and it's been perfect ever since. Great little camera.

I have a SD870, and it takes the most amazing pics I've seen, but I'm no pro at all.

I had an SD600 for a few hours. It was replacement for my friend whose camera I broke by dropping in a pool of water/dish detergent/mayonnaise mixture.

I've owned an SD1000 before and currently use an SD850IS. I've kinda been wanting a DSLR myself, but I'm not that great of a photographer, so it wouldn't be worth it.

congrats man'
DSLRs are the way to go if you're serious about photography.
I myself have a Pentax *ist DL with a Pentax SMC-A 50mm F 1.7 lens.
Make sure you understand all the aspects of your camera so you can get the best possible shots!

Have fun :]

Nice!

My dad's got a Nikon D40 which I always borrow. Takes great pictures.

I'm still using my 20D and have been gasing for a 1DmkIII...

Yours is way more hardcore than my new Cannon, dude, a Powershot S51s:

Ironically, when I get back to the states, I also want to buy a relatively cheap mini digital for picstories - this one takes awesome pics (it better, 8 megapixels), but it's not all that hot in terms of portability.
