After my big photoshoot(s) in Austin, I noticed a decreased photo quality with the photos from the old XT. Of course it is 3 1/2 yrs old and has had almost 40,000 clicks with it's shutter. And as I'm getting a lot more photography work it only made sense to get a new camera.
But as with a lot of us these days, money is tight. So I couldn't shell out $1500-$1800 on a new & fancy camera body. It was suggested to me to buy refurbished and after doing some research I decided that the Canon EOS 40D was for me. I ordered it the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and it showed up a week later. I was excited. It's been a little bit of a learning curve and getting adjusted to the new design, but so far I'm really liking it.
I wrangled the kids and did some test shots with the 40d & my 50mm lens. These were straight off the camera (except the ones that are b/w) and I'm amazed by the quality. I always had to do some sort of exposure fix, color correction or balancing with photos from the XT. So here's to a new chapter in AMZ Photography....
