    Default A new D-SLR in my sights!

    I am very excited!

    I have finally decided which digital SLR to buy............. the Canon 40D SLR.



    I gonna use my tax refund money, money gathered from selling some gear in combination with the use of my credit card, it's a complicated financing maneuver but it'll be worth the effort. I have yet to purchase this fine camera, but I am not far away. I am trying to sell some spey gear in our classifieds section to free up some money tied up in another hobby.

    I warn you now, I will be posting MORE pictures in the near future!

    Congratulations on the camera (as long as you don't change your mind), and be sure to post whenever you can.

    That's a nice camera. I thought that's what you might be up to when I saw the spey gear for sale! I wish I could help by buying your stuff, but... I need more lenses!!!

    Thanks SteelieD, I totally understand about needing more lenses, at least the 28-135mm IS lens is a nice lens, especially to get in a kit. That lens will do just fine for a while

    Yeah that a good range, you'll do fine with it.

    I am just envious of Ben's new lens (and ability! ) after trying to capture a few bald eagles a couple of weeks ago!

    You two are going down a slippery slope, because once you get seriously hooked into photography you will always want that one extra lens. I have that beautiful sigma 500mm, but i still dream for the nikon 500mm VR.

    I now see fishing as a relatively cheap hobby.

    Yes, I have just begun down a slippery slope, but at least I'm doing it right

    I bought the camera today, I hope to take some landscape shots tomorrow after school.

    No doubt!

    Can't wait to see 'em!

    You guys take Bill's advice to heart... love is overrated, especially for gear junkies! Just kidding!
