• UPDATE



    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

What Canon stuff did you get for Christmas

I must have the wrong set of relatives, and definitely the wrong kind of wallet. Didn't get anything photography related or Canonesque, not even when I turned 50.
Oh well, at least I can still put some food on the table and pay my bills another month.

Congratulations to all of you who are more fortunate!

I was a VERY good boy this year (at least I thought so!)...so I bought:

A refurb SL1/100d with 18-55 IS STM from Canon Direct with a PowerShot A1400 thrown in for free. Gave it to my daughter as a Christmas present.

A 16-35 IS also from Canon Direct for $715 and a quick buyer for my old 17-40 to boot. The upgrade to the 16-35 ended up only costing me $115. Been lusting after this lens for a while even though my 17-40 was a good copy.

I've been wanting a small crop sensor camera to complement full frame ever since I sold my 40D; never thought I'd get a Rebel, but it's a great little camera. I'm loving it! (apologies to McDonald's)...

what did everybody else get that they are ecstatic to have?
Short answer: Nothing! :)

Long answer:
We have an agreement in my family, that only the children get presents and the adults are more kind and helpful to each other than the rest of the year (I really like that). :) :) :)

I bought the 24mm EF-S STM as a stocking stuffer, however when I opened it up the box was empty. They must have accidentally sold me the box for the display model. The lens is so small and light, that it didn't even cross my mind the the box might be too light.

My third, count them....One....Two....Three Canon 6D body.
Also got my Second Canon 24-70 f/L is lens.

Who so many? Because the first 6D I had to sell for medical expenses of a loved one.
Three months ago I replaced it and got the 24-70 f/4L as well (previously had the 24-105).
December 10th, my new apartment got ripped off and off went the Camera, lens and accessories.

Well, I liked both of the previous iterations of this model. Hoping third time is a charm and a keeper!!!

Had insurance, also now have a new alarm....though not made by Canon ;D

As it was, my camera christmas presents to myself was entirely non-canon :) I do love my Canon gear, and feel I pretty much have what I need. It was time to get the small but helping Mamiya gear, such as a new diopter for the waist level finder, a grip, and a cable release :) That is where my heart is in these days, but as far as making money from shooting, the canon gear will be used in two days :)
