In my camera search a friend loaned me her Canon Rebel xs. I spent the day taking all kinds of photos (390 to be exact) and playing with the buttons.

I took some indoor portraits,







more random indoor photos,


(yea, I got a frig lock and she figured it out in about 30 min...)

I used the macro setting,


I tried some low light photos,




Some outdoor shots,









more close up photos,


motion shots


and then my model was done. Seriously, she wouldn't open her eyes and look at me.



So I moved on to other models.








I really had a great day trying to use the camera. Things I like:
The speed. It's super quick to grab, turn on and snap a picture. Plus the zoom is super fast and I love the 3fps for action shots. I like the versatility. I can use a full auto mode or set all the controls myself. I like the color for the most part. I'm still struggling to figure out how to take quality pictures in my house with low light. It's the place I take most of the pictures.

So, one camera down nine million to go....any other camera suggestions?
