My new Canon 50D is on it’s way and I will be obsessively stalking the UPS guy tomorrow

I have been thinking about ordering a new camera for a while. I feel like I am ready for the next step up. I’d like to be able to take more frames per second and take higher ISO shots with less noise. I almost chose a new camera body instead of the lens for my birthday, but decided I really wanted the better glass right now, and could always upgrade my camera body later.

I had talked to my parents about buying the lens for me for my birthday, but I didn’t think they were going to do it. Scott surprised me with it on my birthday. I got another nice surprise from my parents–the check to buy the lens! So I had the lens and enough money to buy the camera body too.

I was going to wait, but I just couldn’t. There was a fantastic live.com 25% off discount on ebay. I found the camera for a screaming deal on ebay from a USA authorized Canon dealer with 100% ebay feedback. I decided it was too good of a deal to pass up. I decided that would be my Christmas present this year. How lucky am I?

I ordered it last week before Thanksgiving. I got free shipping, but didn’t realize that it would take so much longer because of the holiday. I am really looking forward to getting my hands on it tomorrow. I can’t wait to play around with it and see what my new toy can do!
