I am Bee
Canon Rebel EOS 1000D kit.
I choose this camera after though research of three main brands. Canon, Nikon, Sony.
The Nikons are professional grade cameras. They have a lot of upgrade potential; but their price points were a bit higher then I wanted to start with.
I almost selected a Sony. The fact that the primary image stabilization is in the camera body was a big draw to me. With larger lenses Sony installs an additional stabilization in the lenses. When it came to the selection I found that the Sony DSLR was a bit clunky.
In the end, I chose the Canon. The Rebel had the same primary features as the Nikon and Sony; but it also had the added benefit of feeling right. I have small hands and the Camera made me feel comfortable with it.
The Rebel came with a zoom lenses 18-55mm. This lens has enough options to allow you to begin your photographic journey.
In the first two days of owning this camera I have taken over 300 photos. 12 of which I actually like.
I am looking forward to taking this camera on my next journey.
Cheers,
Lin

Hi Bob,
I’m really glad to hear that you enjoyed my posts. Thank you!
The best advice is to spend time with your new Camera. I suggest taking about 20min out of every day and taking photos using different options. For me, I find it easiest to experiment on moving water, or open flames.
Stay in touch and let me know how your new Camera is working out.
Cheers,
Lin
