About The San Antonio Convention and Visitors Bureau had a photo contest, and I won the GRAND PRIZE! A good chunck of that $4,000 purse was immediately put down on this new lovely of mine: 20D + 28 to 135 mm (equiv) zoom lens that is Image Stabilized. I am still in shock, and very honored to be selected.

WOW!

Wow, I am very impressed. I am smiling for you. I know just how you feel about getting a new camera. It's still the photographer but somehow new equipment gives us a boost and makes shooting even more fun. Great winning photo too! Thanks for sharing your excitement, it was fun to read all the comments from everyone.
Happy shooting!
Mark

Well, it is SO amazing, here we are two weeks after my purchase, and I still break out in giggles when I see my images or grab a shot I would have surely missed with my little Kodak.

Oh, no KIDDING Dan!
I'm in full-blown pixel lust, and just giggling with how fast I can zoom, focus and shoot. This is Nirvana.

Oh, Lea!
I went down on the riverwalk last night, and with that intenal stabilzation on the lens, was getting razor sharp shots at 1/20 sec...hand held (and NOT bracing my camera against anything).

It's indescribably COOL!

Oh, Melanie, about 3 months ago I made the mistake of going to the camera store and playing with the 20D for about half-an-hour. I was just giggling at how it responded INSTANTLY: start-up, focus, shoot, and, perhpas tastiest of all, that I can fire off 5 frames per second for 25 shots without the camera ever once telling me 'hold on a sec'. I have been agonzing since that encounter, knowing that I MUST have one. I'd whine to my wife, and she'd tell me, "win the contest" with a smile.

Little did I know. ;)
