I finally got what I wanted for Christmas! I had to get it myself, but still...
Anyway, I got this shiny new Canon Digital Rebel / EOS 300D.
I'm still getting the hang of it, but here are some pictures I've taken so far.
It's not that tough to get decent shots with this cam. The built-in flash is a POS, though, like all built-in flashes. The included 18-55 zoom lens is a little slow for indoors, but I still managed this shot - with a four second exposure.
Thank you, Lord, for the process of fermentation.
I passed through this town on the way back from Christmas break. Nobody was inside during the fire, but the buildings were 112 years old - some of the oldest in the province.
Kids, don't play with matches!
"Put that stupid camera away and feed me."
This was one of my first pictures. In the original 3072x2048 image, you can clearly make out the pattern on his nose, and see individual hairs. It's freakin' eerie.
The image quality is phenomenal anywhere from ISO 100 to 400. At 800 it's a little grainy (just a bit, though), and at 1600 there is some visible noise, but you can still get useful shots. It's still cleaner at ISO 1600 than my Canon A40 was at 400.
To conclude: I like it.

. Man, I want to get one, but my camera budget just isn't where I want it. The cam is cheap for a DSLR, but it's still a little out of my range and the lenses ain't cheap neither. Great pickup, though.
