Today is a good day. Today is the day that I’ve finally bought a digital SLR. I’ve wanted one essentially since I bought my first digital camera about six years ago. My thirst grew when dad let me use his old Pentax ME Super film SLR a few years ago. Anyway, I got paid for a website job a couple of weeks ago and have had a digital SLR on my mind since. Today I was looking at prices, and decided that if I didn’t go and buy one soon, they money would disappear and it would be another six years until I had enough to buy one. So I went to Jessops.
I’ve always liked the Canon EOS range, I nearly bought the EOS 300D when it first came out a few years ago. The latest in the range is the EOS 400D with a 10MP sensor and larger 2.5″ LCD amongst other things. My old camera can take photos up to a resolution of 1600×1200 with it’s 2MP sensor (was awesome when I got it) which is the same number of megapixels as most modern mobile phones. This beast’s images go up to 3888×2592 pixels, two and a half times bigger. Big enough to print on a piece of A3 without getting very pixelated.
Anyway, I’m off to go and play :D
