After having owned the PC3100z for the last few years, I feel it’s time to try my hand at something a little more Prosummer kind.  I’ve been drooling over SLR’s for a while, but once I found out they had digital SLR’s, i knew i’d need to get one at some point.  With an unimaginable amount of control over your photography settings, these things can’t be beat.  So i searched around online and found a good deal on one.  I took some test pictures with my new Rebel as well as some photo’s of my camcorder, a Sony TRV-950 (which I bought in 2002).  You can find some comparison pictures in my gallery

So at some point I realized that my first digital camera, an Olympus D460Z wasn’t going to cut it, so I purchased a new camera.  After reading the reviews, I decided to settle on the Epson PhotoPC 3100Z.  It had twice the megapixel and a better optical zoom (which is where it counts, digital zoom isn’t that great), but more importantly, I had quite a bit more control as far as shutter/aperture controls (with priority given to either, or full automatic modes available as well).

The sad thing is I ordered it before Sept 11th and it didn’t arrive until afterwards.  I would have went to town with the new Epson if I only ordered it sooner (or it arrived sooner).
