25th October

When I went to the Black Park place and up on the hills the other week, I took both cameras because I don't have a zoom lens on my 400D. I said I would like to get one for Christmas and I thought to get the one I really would like, the one in the photo, it would be too expensive.

I thought about putting my other little camera on ebay, which would mean it would give me the extra money to buy the good lens, but instead (hopefully) my mum and dad will be buying the other little canon because they use it for parties, family... and they wouldn't be able to use the big 400d one. So in that way, they get a camera they know how to use, they don't have to buy another one which would be as good (the little canon is amazing) and I get to buy the lens I've fallen in love with - the Canon 55 - 250mm IS. It has Image Stabilisation of which has such wonderful reviews.

Fingers crossed Santa is nice to me this year.
