Wow. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so a device that creates a picture must be worth millions and billions to the point uncountable, right? I sure think so. I had almost given up on my camera arriving today at about 9, then I heard a truck, so I thought I would check my front porch one last time (for about the millionth time), and there it was. A box so perfectly wrapped with clear tape. With my name on it. I grabbed it and ran to my room where I notified everyone that it was here.
Sadly in the rush, I accidentally stabbed myself with scissors, and I started bleeding really bad...So I had to fix that...but after that, I opened the box and a sense of pure "wow-ness" came to me.
I did not have a clue as to what to say, there was not a single physical default nor a functionality default. It was and is perfect.
I don't know what to say, but thank you! I simply love it. I am gonna be reading manuals for the rest of my life , but I am in love with my new Canon 300D.

Thank you everyone for your support, your donations, and your help all around.

A special thanks to `princessmorgan who really organized the fund and got it started, and a big thanks to *CitizenOfEarth for making a puzzle and donating not only funding but time and support.

It truly is a wonderful life, and this is a Christmas I will never ever forget. Thank you dA community!

Have a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanuka, Happy Ede, and have a Happy New Year.
If I missed anything...I'm sorry, tell me and I will edit.

I love you all!
Best of wishes for the rest of the holiday season,
