My Rebel XT is at B&H

I'm so psyched - I had to share the good news with all my friends on VF. I just spoke to B&H. They have received the new shipment they assured me that mine would ship out in the next day or 2. This is such a popular camera, that I was afraid they might not get enough to go around - and that someone would buy the last one in the store. :rolleyes:

However, I already paid for it - so he said "you will get your camera first." :cool:

Mine is black btw. ;)

I'll be sure to post my first photo here!

That is wonderful news!! Can't wait to see some new images from you. Be sure and get a picture of it up in the camera family thread so we can all have a look.

Now that's a great idea! Thanks! I can shoot the pic with my Digi Rebel before it leaves home for good! ;)

These images are on the Canon/Japan website - the best I've seen. Pretty Cool!

Someone please please give me a reason not to cancel my order at Amazon.com (Delivery estimate: April 4, 2005 - April 18, 2005) and reorder with overnight shipping from B&H. I could use it for a back up for the wedding I have this weekend.

Okay it's been more than thirty minutes, no reasons not to ordered and well I'm weak. :D I canceled the Amazon.com order since the arrival date would be in April and ordered from B&H. I can use this as second camera for the wedding I am doing this weekend (afraid to use a camera I never used beford as my main). I am so ready for my first DSLR

I think you made the right decision! Mine is being shipped today and I'll get it tomorrow - because I live in NJ and I always get my shipments from B&H overnight - without paying for them. ;)

I don't think you'll be disappointed. Please post some pics!!!!!!!

Make sure you have at least 2 GB of cards for photos. You may find that you'll shoot more with the xt than with your main camera :D
The first time I shot a wedding with digital, it was with the now ancient D30. It was supposed to be my backup to the 1V, but I ended up shooting the entire wedding with the D30. Have fun, post some pics too. ;)

I have a 1GB Lexar that arrived last week along with the 126MB I use for my A75. I just got the email for B&H that my XT has shipped so it should be here tomorrow. I can't wait to try it out. My friends just think I take lots of photos of their kids now just wait. :D

B&H supports PhotographyREVIEW.com and PCPhotoREVIEW.com. Amazon doesn't. When you use the shopping links in our reviews and Hot Deals, you help support the site.

Thanks Danielle. I'm really looking forward to seeing you - and the rest of the gang.

By then I hope I know how to work the XT! ;)

Thanks for the advice! Yes, I have a bunch of 256 cards and one 512! I'm already scheduling more time for photography - and my new XT is my excuse. :D

Good for you! I'm looking forward to seeing some pics of that wedding.

I finally got my tracking number - I'm getting it tomorrow.

YIKES! :rolleyes:

My XT was shipped yesterday! It always arrives (NJ) the next day. UPS has never come before the evening - usually around 7 pm. I left the house for a couple of hours - BUT I asked someone to listen for the door.

Well, for the first time ever UPS came in the morning 10:00 a.m. and the person listening for the door - went down to do her laundry. :eek:

You know what! I'm supposed to work today........big time overwhelmed. So I guess tomorrow will be a better day! My camera will be back home then. So, the story ends well! :cool:
