New camera
May. 7th, 2009 09:31 pmThe new SLR, a Canon Rebel T1i, has arrived. First impression; it's quite nice. Since I've skipped 4 generations, the menu system and button layout has changed considerably, but the workflow on it is still in the same family so I am not too lost.
As with any non-trivial camera, it'll take me a few weeks to get comfortable with it, and probably a few months to get proficient. I'm waiting for the 55-250 lens to show up so I can take some bird photos, and I have put a Tamron 90mm macro on my wish list; the samples from it are awesome; full-frame photos of houseflies with every eye facet and little hair visible. That'll probably wait until next year though, this pretty much blows my toy budget for the year.
Also still on the way; battery grip and a couple of cheap spare batteries.
