Out for Warranty

I was startled to see some blue pixels in the upper left quarter of a bunch of images that were predominantly longer exposures anything over a second. I thought it might have been dust or something, so after some inspection and testing i found out that the blue pixels would show up even with the lens cap on, so unless i had some glowing dust in there the CCD was most likely the cause. I was glad to hear that the Canon warranty depot is only a few hours away and the store i bought it at, London Drugs would take care of everything for me. My expected turnaround should be 3-4 weeks.

So until them i am camera less.

I got the Canon 40D

I have finally purchased my Digital Camera. Last night my wife and i went over to the camera store and haggled wheeled and dealed. I got $20 off! and no memory card so i’m using a 32 mb card that will not take 1 picture at full, so i’m shooting at small jpg. I took this photo with my canon FD to EF lens converter hence the soft focus.

I’m still getting used to the camera and all the other settings that have to be checked like White Balance and so on. but its super fun to use and i like the instant gratification you get. Click Button see picture. I need to be a bit lighter on the shutter release as well at 6fps i shoot 2 pictures.

Keep checking back I’m sure ill be posting images more often now.

Canon EOS 40D

This has been the apple of my eye sorta speak when it comes to Digital SLRs, and i have dreamed about having this camera since the days of the 10D. As the years go by the camera seams to mature, gaining little tidbits from its more professionals models down the line.

This new Canon 40D will have 10.1 MP, DIGIC III image processor, Better auto focus, More sensitive Metering range, Better white balance, Better auto ISO, Focusing screens, Larger LCD monitor, LCD Live View, Tilt correction, 6.5 fps Up to 75 JPEG Large/Fine images, Wireless connectivity with the WFT-E3/E3A Grip.

Thats just a few of the improvements made to the camera. For a full more detailed preview check out D Preview.
