WooHoo...New Camera!!

[Mel&Keith]

I got a Canon 40D as an early anniversary gift! I haven't had much time to play with it but so far it's pretty freakin' cool. I was wondering how much the image stabilization feature in the EF28-135 IS USM lens would make a difference...check it out...

on

That was on auto settings with the flash turned off from about a foot and a half away. I can't wait to take pictures of some geckos!

Now if I could just figure out how to rotate the pictures....

Score! You're going to love that camera. We have USM on our 50mm f1.4, it's handy. What a great gift.

Get cracking on some gecko photos.

I love my 40D. You'll like it; I promise.

That combo is amazing Mel. The camera's great and that 28-135 IS is a very nice lens at that price point.

Here's a few pics from a ride today. Not bad for 60mph from the back of the bike!

70mph from 5 lanes away -

i'd never have the guts to pull my camera out on a moving motorcycle. you're crazy...

 

[Mel&Keith]

Well, I wasn't the one steering! LOL I usually just take my point and shoot riding but I wanted to test this one out.

Wow! Nice pics and great camera lens!! I wouldn't dare to hold a camera on a moving bike though, you are brave Mel! :main_thumbsup:
