I finally bit the bullet and purchased a new camera body, after researching several models I went to Midwest Camera in Columbus and apparently my lucky stars aligned just right. A guy had just dropped off two high end Canon bodies, both hardly used. So I got an amazing deal on an incredible camera. Today I ran around and visited my cousin at his job (I'm upset now I didn't get a quick snapshot of him hard at work... haha Trent hard at work). Then I stopped by my aunts and visted with her and my grandma. The sunlight through a window was amazing... so we had a photoshoot :) thanks for your cooperation Grandma and GAC. More to come...
