It's here... well, it's on it's way!
Canon announced the release Monday, and it's up for pre-order already at Amazon! (Plus you can check out a full blow-by-blow of the details & specs at dpreview.)
This is just further proof the God has His Hand in the whole gettin' me into the right DSLR. First off, I was informed on Monday evening that'll I'll be quasi-inhereting my step-fathers Canon A1 SLR, and it's accompanying lenses. Now, I know, thye've changed their mounting since then. But I can certainly handle a work around, in exchange for insta-access to perfectly acceptable lenses! In fact I've tracked down a couple different adapter options already [one from Photo Adapter, another by Adorama.
Meanwhile, I'm in super-saving mode... and welcoming any and all donations (cash, paypal, amazon, personal checks, side work, whatever!) that can get me towards the necessary goal of insane amounts of money to cover: the basic 40D body, my own copy of Aperture (as the one I had access to has since been zapped out of my life!), an external hard drive, my timer-control remote, and eventual lenses: macro & zoom!
I know, it seems like a lot! But I have to trust that it's attainable, within my reach, and totally where I'm being led... I've been running in this direction seemingly for over a year now. And everyday it seems to get closer & further away all at the same time. In His timing, in His timing... but I can't wait, I'm oozing with excitement and gratitude that things are developing as they are currently, wow!
Oh, I almost forgot! I got contacted today about a design firm wanting to buy a framed copy of one of my shots! How you like them apples!?
