Better pictures!

Jon had a nice Olympus digital camera when we married. It has been slowly dying on us the past few months. We decided that we would like to get a digital SLR camera and started comparing the Nikon D40 and the Canon Rebel XT. I love all the info I was able to find on my "blog friends" websites. We put some Christmas money towards the Nikon D40 and a Speedlight flash. We have yet to do an actual "photo shoot" with Emma yet but I think we will be amazed by the quality when we do!

I have always had an interest in photography and my parents bought me a Canon Rebel and two lenses for my 16th and 18th birthdays. I would love to use it more but film is so expensive compared to digital prints! I took photography in high school and also did photography in 4-H for two years. I love my Nikon Coolpix and it takes great snapshots but I can't wait to get more use out of the D40. Anyways...hopefully you will start to see better pictures (like Emma's 1st haircut) on here soon.

Jon with his Christmas present!
