So my trip to the camera store was a success! First, I must apologize for calling my brother a smart-photog. I will know refer to him as wise-photog! Without his help I would not have learned as much as I did.
I don't want to bore you with the details, but thought I would let you know that I have decided to stick with Canon. After looking at Nikon and Canon, there was no question...Nikon is so big and heavy (my apologies to you Nikon lovers). Choosing the brand was the easy part. I soon learned you have a choice in buying body only (just the camera, no lens with it) or body and kit (you chose what type mm lens you want). And let me tell you - there are a lot of lenses to choose from.
Long story short I have decided to buy the Canon T1i. I was torn between the T1i and the T2i, but why pay $300 more for the T2i when the improvements made are minor. Come on, if you want me to pay $300 more there had better be some swarovski crystals on this thing!
I have about 4 weeks until my birthday and then its Happy DSLR present to me! My husband can hardly wait for me to buy this money draining treasure...but I think he is happy I have finally found a hobby.
Once I finally get the camera, I will let you know. I decided to get the body only and buy a 50 mm lens for $100. This way I can learn how to use the camera. Then for Christmas I get to go buy a BIGGER lens (oh yeah, bigger basically means more $).
Have a great Sunday!
