Charlie II

Feb 09, 2009

This handsome devil is Charlie II. (My cameras are named after the late Charles Scott Szuber, who you will hear more about next month.) Charlie II is a Canon 40D that I purchased on Saturday.

The original Charlie (a Canon Digital Rebel XT) was sold to me by Melissa Koren Wilson when she upgraded to the XTi. I love that camera. It’s been my sidekick for almost two years, and I would’ve been lost without it. But, it was time to upgrade. (These things happen.) Charlie has been semi-retired, and I am extremely excited to get to know this new camera.

(By the way, deciding what camera to buy was one of the most difficult and agonizing decisions I have ever made. I know that sounds ridiculous!)

I ordered a bunch of new accessories to go with this new camera, but they are on their way from Amazon and I will tell you about them later.

In the meantime, thank you to the aforementioned Melissa Koren Wilson, Kirk Membry and Noah Sanders for their help in selecting a camera and Cassy for putting up with me through the process.

    You’re very welcome! I don’t think I know as much as you think I know, but I’m glad someone believes I have expertise <3

    Camera upgrades are a fine fine thing. I look forward to seeing what it can do! I’m (in a roundabout way) getting a new camera too and I’m so excited. Hopefully, it’ll make a notable improvement in my shots.

    ps: Just noticed that you have me linked. Thank you! I’m very flattered and will return the favor :)
