While I think I have taken some pretty good photos with my Canon point & shoot cameras over the years, I have lately been realizing that I was pushing the limits on what those cameras can do. (Don’t worry, my P&S’s still serve a purpose, and I’m pretty sure I sill still be using them well into the future.) I have wanted to get a DSLR camera for a while and finally decided to pull the trigger on getting one this week. I spent a lot of time researching and comparing cameras and ended up picking up the Canon Rebel XSi (EOS 450D) from Newegg and just had it delivered today 🙂

I’ve very excited to start using this camera and hopefully will become a better photographer over time. My main reason for picking it up now, is because I would like to use it on some upcoming trips I have planned to Comb Ridge and Arches National Park before the end of the year. I’m hoping to get some practice with it this weekend at the Colorado National Monument, so check back for some of my first shots with it.

Here’s a couple of stock photos of the camera

Now I just need to save up and buy some nice lenses for it. I think the Canon 10-22mm wide angle lens is first on my wishlist 😉
