Comments on: The Photo Bug http://parrotheadjeff.com/blog/archives/180/the-photo-bug/ Come on in and hang out a while Thu, 29 Jul 2010 11:07:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Parrothead Jeff http://parrotheadjeff.com/blog/archives/180/the-photo-bug/comment-page-1/#comment-52 Parrothead Jeff Tue, 21 Aug 2007 17:22:58 +0000 http://parrotheadjeff.com/blog/archives/180/the-photo-bug/#comment-52 Randy, Thanks for stopping by :D ! I've looked at the same thing and while I would love to shoot more, the reality is that I usually use the SLR at a few airshows and museums every year and the digital point and shoot for more of the day to day pictures as it is <em>so</em> much smaller and lighter and does about 75% of what I'm looking to do :wink: . One other thing - my 28-210mm zoom lens is an FD mount, so it's not compatible :( . I'll probably get a digital SLR sometime in the not too distant future, but with a limited short term budget I think I'm sticking with film :) Actually, you've just given me a great idea for a new post! It should be up soon... Randy,

I just got the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS_400D" rel="nofollow">Rebel XTi</a>. I started out looking at the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS_300D" rel="nofollow">Digital Rebel<a> on EBay @ $300 and ended up dropping $900 for the Rebel XTi. Once I factored in the cost of film development over a year vs. the amount of frames I really wanted to shoot, it wasn’t hard to go digital.
