How to save for/Buy a Canon Digital Rebel XT
It made me
pretty happy/content 
"Lots of bringing it up and begging :)"
How I did it: Well, I wanted the rebel very badly and knew I would have trouble finding a way to earn money. So I just kept asking for it for Christmas and bringing it up. I would say "I wont ask for anything else and I don't need anything else." And eventually, 2 Christmases later I got it.
Lessons & tips: I hope you find a way to get i too. Now, i'm old enough for a job so I could have saved up. So, if you have a job just put money aside for it. If not, ask for your birthday or christmas or whatever you celebrate and just keep bringing it up.

I didn’t exactly save or buy for it. But what I really wanted WAS it, period. And my boyfriend got it for me. It’s an amazing camera.
And it takes beautiful pictures.

This camera really helped me get into photography. Partly it’s being able to use RAW format; partly being able to change lenses. The lens is really more important than the camera. It was a pain trying to get the autofocus to work with the flash on this camera tho.
Get a 50 mm 1/8 lens – its cheap and really good quality, and allows you to take pictures in very dim light. Has no zoom.
I did better... I bought a Nikon D80

...And I love it. It has such a big bright viewfinder and lots of focus points and is wonderful. After comparison shopping, I realized that the D80 gives you SO much more for the money. Here’s a great comparison article:

I’ve had my eye on this camera for over a year now, but sadly the money thing hasn’t happened yet. I’m currently using a Canon point&shoot, which is wonderful but definitely limiting.

Honestly, this just wasn’t worth it. I’ll get one sometime, when there aren’t more important finance things.

I got my trusty Minolta (circa 1970) fixed. AND I bought a Canon Rebel (the SLR film one, not digital).
So this is still on my wish list.
