I've been shopping for one and found one I wanted. It is a Canon EOS T1i.
I got it at Costco with two lenses a 55-250 mm lens and an 18 - 55 mm lens. It cost $949. No sales tax in Oregon. I also got a carrying case, assorted software and cables. I should be able to get some good shots around the pond with the telephoto lens of the heron and eagles etc.
I'm waiting for the battery to charge in order to see how it works.

Sound good, enjoy the camera. Looking forward to seeing some shots of the birds.
I sat in the yard today and took some shots. Right now the yard is full of mallards.
Up until last the last couple of weeks I had American Coots (mud hens) which arrived in October. But But they disappeared. They were funny. They were a lot like domestic chickens and when they heard my door open they would come running.
I go thorough 100 lbs of cracked corn a month with now problem, but it is fun.

Those were some of the first I took. I thought the definition was much better than the previous camera. I need to become familiar with it. I want a macro lens to top this off.

Someone at ESB before I was banned for life, Longhorn I think it was, recommended it too. He had one. I had picked it out before after reading different reviews. I like Canon products anyhow.

I like Canon too. I just have the Canon A720is and it's all I need for now since I am not into photography the way I was when I was age 13. The 720 is about the only digicam that actually goes up in value as it ages, at least it had been doing that, and that's because it has features that no new pocket cameras had, like a viewfinder and manual controls, also aa batteries which I prefer. Of course it is not the machine yours is. How do you like it so far? Pros and cons?

"before I was banned for life"
Why did the a-hole with his fat little finger on the ban button over there ban you? You seem to be pretty well politically corrected.

Prez The notice I got was banned for life for holding anti-Semitic attitudes that i spoke out loud. My take is that I did not favor their favorite Semite group. I am not anti Jew. I am not in favor of Zionism though. Zionism is to America what a loose shoe is to a horse.

Ah so! Why you post so much - too much - here, Dog? Looks like you've pretty much chased everyone else away. Prez
