Just got my new camera today and was so excited I had to test it out on few subjects. I was undecided between the Canon Rebel T1i and the Nikon D5000. Most reviews and information I read about both cameras said they were pretty much on the same level. When it came down to it, I found a slightly better deal on the Canon, that, and I’ve had a few Canon point-and-shoot cameras so I familiar with the brand. It’s also nice that it boasts slightly higher megapixels (15 vs. 12) and it captures HD video at 1920 x 1080. I doubt that I would use the video feature that much (but, who knows…) but the extra megapixels actually does help a little being a graphic designer and shooting for larger print pieces. So far, photo quality is marvelous, and I’m very excited about shooting images with depth-of-field and lower light situations without the use of flash (things I couldn’t do with my point-and-shoot). Although they won’t win any awards soon, I thought I post a few test shots.

Yes, Pudy again...she was a readily available subject!
