New camera!

When I was in Moscow a few weeks ago I decided it would be worth it to get a nicer, DSLR camera to capture all the cool stuff on my upcoming trips. I'd thought about getting one before, so now seemed like a good time. I actually got it (a Canon EOS 550D) a couple weeks ago, but didn't use it during Queen's Day because I didn't want to bring it around and have someone spill beer on it or something. Some of the Budapest pictures were taken with it, but I took it out this weekend to play around a bit and figure out how to better use all of the features. So far I'm really liking the better quality (higher resolution, much much better in low light, a lot more variance in depth of field) and especially liking the increased control over the shooting specs. Makes it a lot easier to take the shot you want.

Below are some of the pics. Picasa compresses them so some of the quality is lost, but here they are anyway.
