Digital Canon Rebel XT

So, yeah, maybe I'm spoiled. But don't I deserve to be spoiled once in a while? We finally got the camera and like everything in my life, there's a story to go with it...

We originally ordered this professional SLR over our Thanksgiving hiatis in Colorado. The camera was on backorder, but was to arrive right around or very shortly after Christmas. It never showed up. Upon further investigation, it was found that the company we had bought it from had sold out to another company. This infuriated and frusted both myself and Josh as the company didn't even both to tell us. Furthermore, the new company didn't even call to confirm that they had our order and it was still on backorder.

I found it to be a ridiculous cycle as we were seeing other sites selling our camera and it was in stock. Why couldn't this company get us what we wanted? Needless to say, in the middle of this month, we placed our order with the trusted KEH (http://www.keh.com/) folks. The camera was to arrive in one week. I had to wait again...but KEH succeeded in getting the camera to us in 3 days!!

So, short story long, we got our new professional digital Canon Rebel XT and have been playing with it all week.

P.S. It's the best professional SLR to have if your seriously into photography as a job or hobby.
