Now I have Nikon and Canon....

[jlykins]

So I bought my wife a Canon P&S a couple of years ago and the AF stopped working a month ago. I sent it into cannon and bought her a Nikon P&S for her daily use. I got a letter from Canon last week saying that it would be 109.00 to fix the P&S or for 275.00 I could have a Rebel XT. I figured that I had never shot Canon before so why not. I got it yesterday, and it's not bad. A little small for my hands but whatever. It's just to play with anyway. So here's a couple of pics that I took in my office today with my phone.

nice. i would've shot the camera in the mirror or with a real P&S to get a clearer image but we know what it looks like. i'm always secretly hoping i land upon a cheap canon dslr (craigslist has 'em every few days) to play with. of course, it's probably more important to invest in more glass .

Good deal! Now all you need to do is spray paint the thing black so it'll look like a camera.

That's exactly what I was thinking!

So, this isn't a camera?

lol. Not a camera I can afford

Hehehe, and not a modern camera. Besides... me thinks there's a difference between gray plastic and fine brushed aluminum! But no need to take it all seriously... It should have been obvious that it was intended as humor! You, know... the stuff that makes people chuckle??

Yeah I like the xt. I have been taking some shots today with it and it is pretty nice. I can only imagine what shooting with one of the high end canons would be like.

I want a white camera to correspond with my lenses. ...

You're right -- not modern ...

Don't give Canon any ideas!

i think if it is painted metal, it would not be a bad idea ... if you are out in the sun the whole day, a black camera can get rather hot. ... also, people would REALLY stare at me then

Maybe, but I bought all those Sigma EX lenses so I wouldn't have to deal with the white issue ...

And if that's gray plastic I'm looking at I promise to hound Leica and Leica users to my last breath proclaiming at every turn what a cheap-arse co. they are. LOL
