Eeeeeeeeeeeeeek!
 I am super excited and super nervous!!!!!!!!! I have been asked to be the photographer at a friend's wedding in October! It will be my first wedding. Also, another friend who just did her first wedding a couple of weeks ago and is a fantastic photographer has offered to let me be a second shooter at a wedding she maybe doing in August so I can I practice.

I have been considering finally buying a dslr and have been eyeballing refurbished cameras. I now have a great reason to buy one!!!!!!!!!!!

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Re: Eeeeeeeeeeeeeek!
 I just bought my DSLR last week SUPER GREAT DEAL on Amazon.com. The Canon Rebel Xsi is usually 799.00, Best Buy had it on  sale for 749.00 plus tax, but Amazon has it for 679.00 no tax or shipping!! The refurbished Xti's were only $100-$150 less... So not worth it. So keep searching, you'll find a great deal and it's definitely a must if you're going to go pro. Good luck!!

Though I want something better than an XTi I really can't afford it.

Actually, from what I've been reading and heard from other photographers sometimes a refurbished one is better than a brand new one.  Mainly because it's been used before and you know it works. 

Thanks for all the congratulations girls.
