I did it....I finally bought a 'real' grown-up camera, a DSLR. I've had my eyes on a Canon DSLR for quite some time, to supplement my most excellent Canon G9. Canon just released the EOS 50D, coming out first here in Asia, and this is what I bought. I really wanted to buy the body only and get a different lens, but only kits were left -- I got a 17-85mm lens with the camera, and so far the wide angle has been great for the types of photos I've shot in the last week or so. I'm by no means an experienced photographer, more of a casual point-and-shooter, but now I've got my work cut out for me, learning how to use this piece of equipment. I'm very excited but also a bit intimidated....but let's see how it goes. I've had a chance to play with it for a few days....and I'm getting ready for next week's trip to Cambodia!
After taking the kids to the bus this morning, I captured the 'national bird' of Singapore -- the construction crane -- against the morning sky....
