Today, my new toy arrived. The brand spankin' new Canon Rebel XSi!!!! Yeah, that's great and all, but I am having a terrible time letting go of my Nikon. I truly love Nikon, but after a couple of months of research and hands-on playing, I decided to upgrade to the Rebel. It made more sense- financially. To upgrade with Nikon, it would have cost me LOTS more. With the Rebel, I was able to get some new features that my D40x didn't have. Someday, I will own the Nikon D300, but until then, and that may be never, this little gem will do.....I think! So far, I can say I prefer the saturation and color of the Nikon, but I like the clarity of the Canon. But, that may change-after I learn how to use this thing!!! Wendy and Krissy, I need help. Ohhh, and I LOOOVE the added extra focal points...as opposed to my three with the D40x. Now, THAT is FUN!!!! Ohhhhhhh, and I have to mention the independent buttons for the ISO and WB!!!! With my Nikon, I had to scroll through the menus to change those, and I change them a lot. And, the action shots will be better too; Nikon neglected to add an extra AF motor to the D40s...to save some $, I assume....and it has been really hard to get great action shots. Of course, I learned this way after I bought the camera!!! That was when I decided to upgrade. So, my firstborn is being sent to a new, loving home tomorrow morning. I will miss it dearly, but I am OK knowing that it will be used all over Europe this Summer. I hate my sister. Just kidding!!!! Kind of.
BTW, that picture of Jessica explains why we call her, "Messy Jessi".
