I have been drooling over a Canon Digital for years.
YEARS.
My Dh cannot even deny it because he knows its true. I have a Canon Rebel non-digital, but I want a digital. I love my camera but I never use it because I just dont get around to developing film. I think I have some here from the 90′s still.
(picture from the non digital Rebel of Charlotte, this is an un-retouched photo)
I am sick of sub-par crappity crap cameras that go out in like 9 months from the abuse my family puts them through. It seems like every camera I have bought in the past five years has had to be replaced due to some weird thing that happens to overused small electronics.
I have all but stopped taking pictures of Charlotte because the quality is so bad that I don’t even want to share them. That is just sad right there.
I want this:
or this:
Or this:
I told my Dh do not be surprised if an EOS lands on our doorstep in a week. He told me that he is never surprised.
That sounds like a green light to me…

Note: This post is dedicated to the woman that felt the need to compare a 7 month old interview I did w/ the NY Times about delaying a second child due to the state of the economy to being able to afford my trip to BlogHer. I guess everytime I spend a $1 on myself, one of my eggs dies. Oh well.
It is worth it, I promise. I have the Rebel XTi and love it. The pictures of Charlotte are gorgeous!
You could sell your eggs so you can afford a Canon. Talk about killing two birds with one stone! Totally kidding, people, totally kidding.
I am getting one too – or maybe a Nikon…I need to research it more (and save up) but to live in Hawaii and not have a kick a$$ camera…that’s a travesty! (like the drama?
)
If I don’t get it sooner, it WILL be my Christmas/Birthday present!
PS: Those pictures you took of Charlotte are GORGEOUS.
And if you buy this camera, I guess that would kill all your remaining eggs. Then you wouldn’t have to worry about it anymore.
LMAO
ROTFLMAO @ the disclaimer!!
And DROOLING like a mental patient in a straight jacket over the Canon Cameras. I want one so badly. I want to be able to change lenses. I want to be able to take gorgeous pictures i don’t have to TRY to make look decent using my crappy ass image editing software.
Why will the Gods not listen to us and give us what we desire most? It would be a GOOD thing and we wouldn’t be mucking up the blogosphere with bad pictures on WW.
LMAO
I need a new camera too, mine just died {and it was a Canon}, but I still have my non digi Canon that I love but never use for the same film developing reason lol. I have 20 rolls lying around from 7-10 years ago!
I’m so with you. I love my Pentax SLR, but I’m ready to upgrade to digital. I’ll scrounge up every last bit of my advertising dollars if I have to!
I have the same problem with my cameras. They always end up freaking out on me. I spent a ton on a new Kodak which I really did love but no longer works. It’s just a $500 paper weight. I would so sell my eggs for a Canon Rebel!!!
I don’t have a Canon, but I do have a Nikon SLR and LOVE it! I got it for Christmas a couple years ago and love the pictures it takes, just wish I had more time to actually use it! Getting an SLR camera is so worth it, at least to me.
Those look like great cameras!!! Those two pics of Charlotte are soooo precious!
I love Cannon, I have both Cannon and Nikon but I always use Cannon more don’t know why.
love it LOL
The Nikon hubby got me for Christmas, and Cannon I got for my B-day from my parents
LMAO why does my google spell check turn Canon into Cannon LOL
Charlotte is such a cutie!! and I wanted the same Canon {the 2nd one you like} but, I just couldnt spend the money!! I love to have photographs taken so I think I just need to hire a family photographer to keep “on staff” LOL
It’s worth every penny.
I just got my canon and i tell you it is my new baby.
They are a lot of money but they are so worth it , i had such a hard time getting a good clear picture of my girl cause she would never sit still.
I’m looking at a new camera too. Nothing quite as fancy as the Rebel though
I’m more of a Kodak girl but those are some darn good pictures!
I like kodak for back pocket cameras and they certainly have the easiest software around. My problem is they dont last more than a year in my house. They work great, great, then the lense goes kaput just after the warranty every time. I have bought about 4 in a row. I rebuy them because i DO like them, but a camera should last longer, kwim?
I am seriously in love with both pictures of Charlotte in this page. I always loved the static-hair picture, but the one of her in the dress on the sidebar? MEGA-LOVE!
you should see some of the other ones from that session w/ the rebel. So nice..point, click, beautiful.
I am missing out on all this!
Let the eggs die and pamper yourself! You really deserve it! It is YOUR choice to have another baby or not! Hell if you want to go on trip after trip instead of another baby, go for it!
I dont exactly live the high life. I am a regular middle class family. But I dont take having a child lightly either.
And anyway, the trips were paid for by the sponsors.
The camera would be all me though. Not that i feel guilty for THAT either.
When my husband gave us the green light to get my Nikon for Mother’s Day, I nearly choked. I never EVER spend that much on myself. But he understood it wasn’t so much for me as it was for the kids – to take their pictures, their memories, and encapsulate them forever.
I bought my rebel back in college and it was like $600. Then I bought a crystal canon 80/300 lense. Yeah. Major credit card debt. But that camera was gold. i still own it, I just dont like film.
I would do almost anything to get a high end Canon or Nikon camera like this! We need to find a PR Rep that could hook us up. ha ha.
Yeah, I would probably sell my soul to the sell out Gods for one. But on cameras like these you can review them, but have to return them. I would still be interested if I got to test out more than one to decide before the big purchase.
Im going to buy one anyway.
