About 6-7 years years ago, I saw the commercial for the Canon Rebel. At the time, it was VERY expensive. I dreamed about owning it but never thought I would see the day.

I started to get into photography quite a bit and got my first "fancy" point and shoot camera. Was the best 250 bucks I had spent...but still thought about the Rebel constantly. 
I started a new job about a month ago (After not having one for 4 years) and FINALLY got it. Its the older Rebel XS but its the camera I've been dreaming of for years now. I am still trying to grasp the fact that I just spent $500 on ONE thing but I am sooooo happy. I can't wait to start taking high quality photos. Not that my little Elph didn't do a fantastic job but I could never quite get the photos I was looking to take with it.

But yeah, just so excited I wanted to share!

You probably don't want to know how many cars I bought when I was younger for less than $500!

But the Rebel is, indeed, a great camera.  I'd like to have one myself, especially if I were going to do any sort of professional work.

My first car was 500 dollars! That was only a few years ago lol.

It's a lot of money for something so tiny...but its something I really love and have wanted for a loooong time. I will make good use of it...that is, once I figure it out. I can't believe I spent it still! Its my new baby though. Parker has come competition.

Congrats on the camera!! I can't wait to see the pictures you take!
Awwww, isn't it so nice when we earn things that we really want. It makes it so worth it!
It sure is! Plus when it's something you saved up for, you appreciate it more!
