Default New Canon Rebel T1i

I have always wanted a DSLR camera and my choice is the new CANON Rebel T1i c/w EF-S 18-55 IS kit lens. This camera includes the latest technology and 15.1 mega pixels.

Here is a sample of my first pictures. Wow I have a lots to learn to get the best out of this camera.

It is a Gorgonian Knobby sea rod.

I have it in my 75G Frag Tank. I also have frags of it available.

Great start Tom! Nice shots. If you still have a couple of pennies left over buy the automatic shutter release. It will let you take MANY more shots without touching the tripod and increase your chance getting those really sweet shots, although it looks like your well on your way with that!

Pretty nice pics. I look forward to some of the terrific shots you're going to get with a little practice.

Great shots Tom. Looking forward to seeing the tank in person soon. Been a while since the last visit.

I sell these cameras at London Drugs and absolutely love the T1. In my opinion it's the finest DSLR on the market for a beginning photographer. There's lots of room to grow into the camera and it has features that you'll discover and use for years. The live view, I think, is what sets this camera apart. While you rarely want to use live view when shooting (whenever possible use the eyepiece), what sets the T1 apart from any other camera in the class is an instant feedback in the manual modes as to how exposed your picture will look when you begin to fiddle with the manual settings. If your ISO is too low for your aperture or shutter speed, your picture will appear dark in the Live View. It allows you to adjust perfectly for a situation before you're ready to take your first pic!

Enjoy!
