My lovely wife gave me a new camera for Christmas. I've been pining for a digial SLR for a couple of years. I love my new Canon Digital Rebel XT.

My old Minolta SLRs have one auto mode and then manual. Auto wasn't something a serious photographer should use though. A good photographer just nows what f-stop and shutter speed to use. We'll that is bull.

This camera has seven automatic profiles and five creative profiles as the documentation calls them. The auto profiles are a great way to quickly set up for the type of picture I want to take. Then focus and shoot. The creative profiles give me control of aperture, shutter speed, white balance, ISO and more.

I'm sure I'll be posting more pictures.
