Week 9 BOC: Cyber Shopping

Canon EOS Rebel T3i 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera and DIGIC 4 Imaging with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens + Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens
Sale Price: $891.41
Original Price: $1,098.00

                As a photographer, I am always interested in purchasing multiple camera bodies, as well as adding to my collection of lenses – because you just never know when your body is going to be down for the count, so it is always a good idea to have something to take its place. So why the T3i, you may ask? Well, it may not be the newest or best model from the Canon brand, but that doesn’t mean it still won’t produce the quality pictures people will pay you for. Let’s face it: we live in a society that is constantly progressing toward the “new,” and this is especially true for technology – that new television you just bought will be outdated in another year, but it can still bring you endless hours of entertainment.

                If I had $900 of spare cash to spend, I would most certainly spend it on this camera: the body is an upgrade from my Rebel XTi AND they are offering not one, but two!, lenses with the purchase of this camera. The 75-300mm telephoto zoom lens is great for those long distance shots, but more importantly, a wider aperture! I am primarily a wedding photographer with my current employer, therefore using the best available light is a huge necessity for me, not just to create beautiful photographs and to preserve someone’s special day, but because I am constantly on the move from one wedding to the next and it is difficult for me to carry around a bunch of lighting equipment (not to mention the proper equipment I have my little eye on is rather expensive). This is the ideal Christmas gift for any photographer, because just one lens (not including the body) runs anywhere from $800-$1,000+ on its own. Snag this deal while it lasts, photogs!
