new camera ♥

I'd been looking into getting a new camera for months now, but it wasn't till my birthday two fridays ago that i actually got to purchasing one!  I knew i wanted a Canon DSLR that fit into my tight budget, so i went for one tech-savvy people call an "entry-level DSLR", so basically a dumbed-down version for people like me who want to get into DSLRs, but don't want to just blow a lot of money on something he or she doesn't know how to use.
After doing a bit of searching, i landed on the Canon EOS Rebel XS DSLR.  I've heard Canon has actually stopped making these and is actually making a new & improved version of the XS that is set to be out later in April, but i just couldn't wait to be honest!  I'm super content with my decision to say the least (for now ;).
I haven't had time to read the manual fully to discover all the lovely features (work work work and school :/), but i've watched a little review/brief overview video (i must say i love that video, even have it favorited haha #lame) of the camera & have gotten the just of it.  I thought i'd share with you a couple snaps i've taken since i got it, as kind of an update on me as well ♥.
These photos may not really show a difference in the quality & such of the photos from my last camera, but i've definitely noticed a difference.  You  may be able to tell a bit better on my last post, in which there are some photos i took with the new camera.  I have to say it's so effortless to take really lovely, high quality photos in a wide range of lighting situations & such.  I'm so happy i invested in this camera!  Can't wait to take it when i go traveling.
Hope you've all been well. :)

  5. If the manual for your camera is anything like my one, you will be better off throwing it in the bin and then searching online for some proper help...
