Day 148 – Birthday Present!

Yes, I’m spoiled rotten. I know it. Canon EOS 7D 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3-inch LCD

Sweetie gave me a Canon EOS 7D  EF-28-135 IS USM kit for my birthday. I’ve had my eye on one for a while and I’m really, really happy with it.  It’s much heftier that my Rebel T1i, and has a wider range of capabilities.  ISO starts at 100 and increases at 1/3 stop intervals up to 6400.  Very, very little noise at the highest ISO (one of the comments I read over and over and over again about this model).  Also, 100% field of view means the photo I compose in my viewfinder will be the photo the camera will produce. No unknown stuff around the edges.  I took it out for a whirl today.  Here are just a few of my shots.  Very little processing done to these, just a bit of sharpening of the RAW files.

This was my only flash photo…Maya by the front door. Exposed for outdoors with flash used to equalize the indoor lighting.

  8. Wow, n!ice gift! That’s a nice serious camera, one I have been contemplating on getting, or at least trying out. I’m most comfortable with the Canons since I used EOS cameras back in the film days. If only those L lenses weren’t so dang expensive!
