Well first off, I got my DSLR! I was perusing the vast expanses of Craig's List and found a posting for a Canon EOS Rebel 300D for $240 (included kit 18-55mm lens, fish eye/macro attachment, 2 extra batteries, all software/manuals). The guy threw in a 75-300mm lens which brought the total to $330 (Just as a reference, this camera retails for around $899. Check out specs
here) The 75-300mm lens, if purchased used, will often run around the price I paid, in total. Good deal? I think so!
I didn't get a chance to play around with it yet, since my CF card and strap don't come in until today. The strap is absolutely essential- I can see myself dropping this baby like hot cakes.
Supposedly grabbing Ethiopian for dinner + drinks afterwards this evening since my friend is coming back from Palestine, but no word yet. Besides that, my evening agenda involves fist pumping and playing with the new toy. Time to GTL! (I wish)
$330 is really good!! Super jealous of your awesome new purchase... ENJOY!
