Thanks for the add !

Hope all is well in Orlando ! :wave:

And a Happy Friday as well!

I finally got a DSLR. Two, actually! I bought my D40 last week (just arrived today), but then I saw a great deal on a Canon XTi with a really nice lens (17-85mm IS) on Craigs list. I bought it too, figuring I could determine which I like better, then sell the other. After handling the D40 today, I think it's definitely the one I'll keep, especially since it cost less (and is worth less generally). I can't wait to use it later this summer at WDW! Thanks so much for all your help in the camera hunt!

Happy Pre Weekend Eve!

Thanks for contributing to the Disney Confessions social group. Wow! You used to work at WDW!! I think that's very interesting. What did you do and how long did you work there?

Happy Thursday! I enjoy your pictures in the photo of the day thread and visit it everyday to see what new and amazing shots you've posted. Thanks for sharing your talent and love of Disney.

I started a new social group called, Disney Confessions - Share your inner-most Disney-related secrets about what you have, or have not experienced. Check it out and post something interesting. Thanks!

Hey! I hope that you are having a wonderful week. I have really enjoyed looking at your pictures in the POD thread. My daughter just got back from a very quick trip down there with a friend and I asked her to take some good pictures, so maybe I can find a few to share. Hopefully a few of them will be worth posting and not of silly teen stuff.:lol:

Happy Wednesday!

Yeah... I try to avoid the parks during the God-awful heat because it's really difficult to have fun when you're dying. :lol: Have a good Tuesday.

We made it to MONDAY!!!!! :sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy:

Wait... is that something to be proud of? :lookaroun

Happy Friday! Hope you have a marvelous weekend.

Happy post-hump-day. :lookaroun

Oh Happy Day!

Hey, thanks for the friend request. I hope your having a great week.

Monday swung sufficiently. :lol: Hope your Tuesday is going well.

Happy Monday! :wave: Have a great week.

Yeah, I agree, dishonest. Spend enough time looking, make a decision, and go for the savings. That $115 is a big factor - if you are certain of which model you want.

Keep me posted!

No camera yet, although I've actually had a chance to play around with a few models and determined that the Nikon D40 is what I prefer. Also, I spoke with an employee at Costco who informed me that if I buy the camera through them, I have 90 days to try it. I found it a little odd that they allow returns after you've used the camera, but I'm not going to question it (maybe the CSR misspoke and it's actually just 90 days for an unused product :shrug. They have a D40 kit with two lenses (I think you actually told me about this) for $599.

Now my only dilemma is whether I buy there, with the knowledge that I can return it if it turns out to be 'not my thing' (which I really doubt will happen...although there is a concern in the back of my mind that the extra time it takes to adjust the settings may make it more trouble to me than it's actually worth), or if I buy from Amazon. The same package is currently $576 from Amazon, but the second lens (55-200mm) is the VR version, which is recommended, and adds $50 to its value. Plus I wouldn't have to pay tax via amazon, which is another $40.

So basically...90 days to try versus $115 savings. Of course, I could always get the best of both by buying first from Costco to determine whether I want the camera, and if so, return it to Costco and buy it from Amazon, but I think that's somewhat dishonest.

Happy Friday! Have a great weekend! :wave:

Happy Thursday! Have a great one! :wave:
