I've sold out, goodbye 35mm

After my third 35mm Minolta XG-1(9) SLR, two of which decided they didn't need light seals anymore, I made the switch to the digital age. I've had my Minolta Dimage E323 for a little over a year, and it has been a great camera. But it's point and shoot. I gave my only good working XG-1 to my sister, when I got the XG-9 and all its goodies. So now I'm left with a beautiful to look at XG-9 and three lenses that I can't use. The majority of the seven rolls of film I took on vacation had severe over exposure.

So this is what I got last night. Minolta, I still love you. And when (not if) I get myself another 35mm, I'll be getting a Maxxum. Take comfort in that. But for digital SLR's, you can't beat the feature/quality/$ value of a Canon.

I got a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT 8.0mp. I've only had it for about twelve hours, but I LOVE it!







I got the silver one. I'm hoping my flash works with it. It has a build in one, if not.

oooh, pretty :D

I'm hoping Santa will bring me a new digital camera this year. My current one is a 1.3MP Fuji that I paid over $700 for five years ago. Now it would be in the "Under $10" section at Wal-Mart

I know the feeling. I see the new replacement for my Dimage 3.1mp is now 5.1mp and costs half what I payed, at a little over $200. That was just before I got married last August.

Best Buy. :) $1199.99 plus $65 for a 512 Compact Flash card (it holds 112 pictures at full scale 3456 x 2304. They consider 2496 x 1664, 1728 x 1152 as 'low resolution' :eek: ) And for some reason I posted a picture of a 350D instead of the XT. Odd. Anyway, they look identical.
