The Rebel's Here!

Sorry for posting a bit late. I had quite a day yesterday and was dead tired when we got home around 9pm. So anyway, it's finally here! The Rebel's here! hahaha! Sorry I am just excited. Here's a snapshot of it:

I got my Rebel at Avenue Photo Equipment Inc. in Hidalgo. It was the store with the best deal and so far the only store there that offered the Canon Essentials of Photography promo. I had a tough time making the decision between the Rebel and the Nikon D40x. I even had both cameras side by side but I still couldn't decide. It's a good thing the husband was with me. He convinced me to buy the rebel and he'll just get the Nikon D40x when he sells the S3. lol! We are a wierd couple!

I got a pretty good deal, their prices were lower compared to the other stores and I got the EOS 400D kit, a free camera bag and free 1 Gb CF memory card. Plus, since they offered the Canon promo, I get to have a free photography workshop! Oh and I also bought a 4Gb CF memory card.

A frightening thing happened though because of my stupidity. After we bought the rebel, we placed the camera inside the husband's backpack. The memory cards we placed inside the free camera bag which was placed inside the store's plastic bag. So we went to Ministop to get something to drink. I placed the plastic bag beneath the table. So off we went, and when we were almost at the quiapo church, I suddenly remembered I didn't have the plastic bag with me! OMG! I literally ran towards ministop pushing people past. Good thing it was still there. whew! Well, you should know I got an earful from the husband. My excuse, I was tired since I came from work and went straight to Hidalgo. lol!

So, I am happy I bought the rebel. I am still familiarizing myself with the controls and still reading the manual but of course, being excited that I am, I couldn't stop myself from trying it out. So, I am leaving you with 2 of my favorite shots. Have a great day!

More pics here. Please pardon the shots. Still trying to figure out the rebel. :P
