Got our Canon 1000D

It was indeed a dream come true. Me and my hubby wants to own a SLR camera and just this evening, September 14, 2010 I hold my first ever SLR. This is one of dreams and being listed in the bucket. Yehey….I am so happy! We bought this using my hubby’s online job earnings. We didn’t settle for a brand new for we can’t afford it. But this second hand dslr looks new and function-able. ( I hope so)… We are still need to explore this. We asked for a warranty to the owner and good thing that he gave us 1 week to check its functionality.

I took this photo using my Samsung C5212 cellphone.

We bought this in a reasonable price. The package includes the following:

-Canon 1000D body
-18-55mm IS
-Canon Camera strap
-Original Canon Charger
-Original Battery
-2gb SD card
-with lens and body caps
-Collapsible rubber lens hood
-No manuals

-No Box
-The seller uses this in Less than a year

Paopaosanchez posted this in istorya.net. He wanted to sell it. So, my husband and I decided to buy it.

Here are some photos that I took:

My crash's hand ( In our way home, I took this photo inside the taxi)

Chloe's smile

My favorite subject is my daughter Chloe Nina Marie.

I am still exploring on how to use this camera.

I am so thankful to my hubby in buying this gadget. I guess this is his advance birthday present to me.

Thank you crash! mwah!
