I can't wait any longer, I HAVE to upgrade! Tomorrow, after driving mother-in-law to Lancaster (and leaving her there!), I will return to Liverpool and finally purchase my new DSLR.

After much debate I am going for the Canon 400D, let's face it...I'm no David Bailey and don't need to spend £1000s on a camera.

I have also ordered an adapter so I can fit some of my Dad's old Pentax lenses to my new EOS. This is not going to be a long term solution but will hopefully let me try different focal lengths before investing in some newer glass.

I may even try to get a deal on a prime macro lens, but unless they can match close to the lowest internet price I've found then I'll wait a few days for delivery instead.

To quote hundreds of teenage girls across the globe..."I'm SUPER excited!"
