Well, that didn't last long

And here I thought the Fuji would be the be-all-to-end-all. Well OK, I'm not that stupid but I was expecting more than a year. Actually it worked fine except for some fairly severe noise problems when indoor shooting.
Guess what it got used for...mostly. It was especially bad at shooting music gigs. Bummer.
So M.C, a good photographer friend of ours got herself a nice Canon T3 and showed it to S. over dinner a couple nights ago.
This thing (link) is SWEET.
So of course S. had to have one 'right now' and I lucked out. They were on sale at Oregon Camera. $550 with lens after rebate type thingys. Craigslist is my friend, so the losses on the Fuji were kept to a reasonable ($40) level. Not to worry though, we'll burn through that money on lenses. Scouring fleaBay now for a F1.8.  Yep, the stock lens has only one failing: It' doesn't do very well with available light indoor shots, even with the anti-shake. Huh, where I've seen that problem before?
Edit: Two months later: Have a line on a F1.8, autofocus but no antishake. Well under $100. Hmmm, going for it.    Edit: two weeks later: Lens is nice. M.C. had to go and upgrade to a T3i. Photographer one-ups-personship, gotta love it. Wonder if that means we have an upgrade in our future too...?
