I FINALLY bought a new camera, the Canon EOS 400D, aka the Digital Rebel XTi. I bought it with the 18-55mm lens, new from Dell, retail price minus auto 15% and $70 from my laptop purchase, came to $609 shipped.

I took some (blurry) pictures of it, hopefully the last blurry pictures I take EVAR.

Compare that (or any of my pictures in the past) to these

Next step:
1) Get a flickr pro account (100MB/month = lame)
2) Figure out how to migrate from my gallery (gallery2) to flickr
