Amazing

Even though I don't have the money to buy a new camera body this year, it's always nice to play with
someone else's equipment, even if only to take a few quick family shots to take home with you.

With a slow fixed shutter speed, getting tack sharp shots of a moving object proved to be
quite difficult. And even though it had a very large screen on the back, you damn near had
to be in complete darkness in order to review your photos. The resolution isn't quite as
good as my 20D, and the depth of field is far to shallow in my opinion,
but it's ability to see through skin and muscle is AMAZING!!!

UPDATE: Yup, Margaret is pregnant. 18 1/2 weeks, approximately.
We are not going to find out the sex of the baby until the magic moment happens.
Plenty more to come as the days go by. Thanks for all the well wishes and comments.

Looks like you got yourselves a baby!! Oh dude how awesome for you and Margaret!!! WOW!

How many weeks? This is WAY bigger than the peanuts we see at the fertility clinic where I work!! I'm guessing around 11-12 weeks?
