Omg
What a day!

Earlier I heard the door, my new P.O.T.N straps arrived. I thought too bad I dont have the rebel to go with one. So I added red to them anyway , and put one on the G3.

After we send daughter off to her Prom tonight, and I had 3 appletini's, hubby said, "well I was thinking of getting the camera you wanted for our 20th Anniversary".

I almost fell off my chair! Then I said," why didnt you tell me that this morning", I sat all day wishing I had it for the occassion. He said," since you ve been drinking you cant go get one now", ......."unless I drive you".I darn near ran him over running for the door!

Not only did he let me get the camera , he give me the ok to get the "L" lens, of course I didnt object, I gave the man my order , and fast before hubby changed his mind,lol
After hearing the cost I thought he would say no way!

Well he didnt object. What a great man ( & father) he is.

Now I get home , & cant wait to try it out, & find the Darn battery needs charged,HELP!
Im thinking I cant wait. So thats why your getting this long drawn out story,sry. Im using up the energy.LOL

Does anyone know if the Canon software that came with the rebel works on a MAC 9.2 or should I just use the Adobe PHotoshop 6.0

In which that brings another problem since Ive never used that software to download photos to. I usually Downloaded through the camera using the Canon software. If someone can help me in that area , I would greatly appreciate it.

PHew!
Well Im off to read other posts- try to sell other cameras on ebay (to help with the cost) then maybe that battery up there will be ready,lol ( I keep looking every 10 minutes, like that will help)
Thankyou everyone involved in the straps , they are awesome!

Thankyou

Pamela

Thankyou Bottom Bracket, Vettography & cfcrebel

Now since I have Mac 9.2, Im realizing , how the heck am I going to get these photo's in the computer, the Canon disk says Mac Os X. I dont have a card reader

Does anyone know if I can you the same Canon software I used for my Canon G3 to download from the camera. Or I have Adobe photoshop 6.0 , is there a way to use that through the camera?


THankyou (in advance) oh by the way , we both cut the grass, and take out the garbage, but I will make sure I cut alot of slack,lol

Pamela,

You could always just get a CF card reader. It is faster than downloading from the camera.

congrats on the new camera. i just got mine last week and am in love... after using the pro1 (which i still love) i cant get over the speed of the auto focus!! now, if only i had the $$$ to get the 'L" lens that i miss..(the pro 1 uses an "L" lens) Damn you canon and your super expensive lenses!!! lol.

We don't often read about someone who has to ask her husband to buy camera gear, generally the wife is the one being asked for permission. Also, I've just got to ask... What is an appletini?

Pam, congrats for the new toy. I cannot help with the mac stuff, unfortunately. But we want to see some pics as soon as possible. Congrats to hubby also, even if he did just what a hubby is expected to do :D

Thankyou everyone

This is a great camera. I cant believe how fast it is.


Vettography ty- I did get a card reader- using a mac I dont have to download software.

Bruce- It has vodka- and apple flavored Schnaaps- I believe
Or you can buy the kind that you can just add the vodka.

I will post some pics tomorrow


Thankyou
Pamela

Congrats, Pamela ... welcome to the EOS club!!
How was the airshow? I was hoping to attend, but in the end I had too many commitments last weekend.
