This is not for a weight related product, but I figured I would share it anyway in case you are in the market for a new digital camera. For about the past 6 years we have been using an Olympus Camedia C-2020 Zoom digital camera. It is a great camera. Considering it was 6 years old, it still took fantastic pictures. My only real complaint with it was the shutter speed. We just always seemed to miss the "perfect" shot". A common problem with almost all digital cameras I have looked at (and I have checked out a lot of them). Unless they are a digital SLR, that is.

I have been wanting to get one for about just as long. But, I have never been able to get myself to plunk down the $600+ on the camera as well as the several hundred more required to get decent lenses. Well, that changed this past Christmas when I jumped into the digital SLR market and bought the XTi for my wife. I have to say that I wish I had bought this camera years ago when I started looking at it.

The pictures are just awesome and the action shots you can get with the camera are darn near perfect. I am no where close to even being an amateur photographer, but with this camera I will be there soon enough. I may have bought it for my wife, but I see myself using this camera a lot more than I had planned when I made the purchase. The pictures have so much detail in them. At full size, you can almost count the hairs on the dogs head. It really is something amazing. I won't go into details about all of the features on this camera, simply because I don't even understand most of them myself. What I will say, is that it was well worth the money. Right out of the box, it is bar-none the best digital camera I have ever had the pleasure of using. Simply turn it on, set it to the default picture setting and start shooting. My only complaint about the camera is the flash protection. Although the features indicate that you can burst 3 frames per second and 27 frames continuous. It doesn't quite get there if you are using the flash. After some reading, I found that it is a built in feature by Canon to protect the flash. Not a big deal overall, But it can be annoying for those indoor shots.

I ordered the camera package with the EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 lens and from all the complaints I have read about the lens I expected pure crap. Maybe , it's just because I don't know enough yet about this level of camera. But, I have to say that the lens sure takes some good photos. Construction could be a bit better, but overall it does a great job.

I also picked up two additional lenses. One was the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens and the other was the You are not allowed to view links.

A little bit more than I had hoped to spend but, well worth the money. We will get years worth of great quality digital photos out of this camera.

Here are a few pictures I took of the dog outside in the snow.
