I know I’ve been wanting to buy a camera for a while. For about 7 months now…
I did a lot of research on a point-and-shoot Canon G12 / G1X…only to realize that it simply wouldn’t do the job I’d like.

So I decided on a DSLR…but then got a little intimidated with everything I have to research in order to buy one.
Well, I’ve been doing some research…and I’ve figured out what camera body I want:

Canon EOS Rebel T3i w/ 18-55mm IS Lens Kit for $700 at Best Buy.
I have $550 in Best Buy gift certificates so I’ll only be paying a little bit for this camera.

If the lens doesn’t do the job I want, I’m going to buy Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 for $130.

I might get the camera as early as tomorrow morning. I’ve already started setting up my photography “lab” for tomorrow. I’ll also need to go to Fabric Land to get some backdrops for my statues.

Anyways, that’s my plan :)

Hopefully I’ll get my camera and my backdrop and I’ll post some of the photos that I’ll take!
