I was using a Canon Rebel XS - just got it about a month or so ago. I played with it at home a bit but our vacation in Nova Scotia I really relied on it. Take a peek:
What do you think? I used the automatic settings and didn't use manual, but I think they still turned out great.
We camped the whole time. First at Caribou Provincial Park for about a week and then Risser's Beach just west of Lunenburg. That's why we got some great pics of the Bluenose II. It was awesome. We are definitely going back!!!
