    did you see this in the zoo? Hopefully it wasn’t in your backyard. :)

    Great color your getting out of that camera! :)

    Was this new?
  • Hi Micki. No, not in the zoo or the backyard. It was out on a walk through the woods at Chincoteague. This is from Sept 2007. The colors are as seen too. Even though my camera is now outdated in terms of features, I’m really happy with it for color and detail.

    If you’re happy with the color of your camera, it’s never outdated. I’m yearning for my dead pocket Kodak because the color was unreal and the pixel quality was phenomenal. forget all that hash and hype… stick with what makes you happy.

  • True. This is from my 20D. I did upgrade to the 50D for the features eventually. As it happens, I should have waited another year for the 7D, but I’m getting good images so no big deal.
