Default New Camera

Well my old cam kicked the bucket so I figured it was time to fork out a little more for a decent camera. I did a lot of reading through reviews and with my price range I think I made a good decision. Should be getting some amazing pics of the Mustang this weekend hopefully

Here is a link if any of you nerds wanna read up about it http://pcworld.pricegrabber.com/sear...sterid=8592392

I would hold off on the DSLR world right now anyways.. Canon is rolling out the 30D soon enough along with the 5D (DROOL). But it also makes for some HELLA good prices on the Rebel XT and the 20D

but anyways.. CANON FTW!

That camera shoud work out just fine. My wife has the Canon EOS Rebel 6.1mp digital and I love it. We just take the chip out, go to Ritz, and get our pics developed.
I just have to remember to start shooting our club meets and car shows on the small setting instead of large so I dont have to sit at the 'puter re-sizing all night to post pics. With the 5.0mp you should be able to do decent enlargements too. I think the guy at Ritz told me I can go as large as 16x20 with 6.1 mega pixels befroe I get distortion. Kinko's does awesome enlargements as well.
