Last Wed., 8/22/07, my first place prize from FX Networks finally arrived---almost 14 weeks from when I was first contacted (the rules said allow 6-8 weeks for delivery.) But I kept in touch with the prize fulfillment Co. and they did come through.
I recieved a "Canon 8 megapixel, Rebel XT/EOS 350D Digital Auto/SLR Camera" with an ARV of: $700.00. It rivials (and looks a bit like) my older Nikon FX SLR camera but with (obviously) many new modern features. It included a rechargable battery and has a built in flash---although a CL flash card for pictures wasn't included, I picked one up on sale from Best Buy for only $35 which is an ultra-fast 2 GB card able to hold between 400-650 shots. It will be great to not have to purchase film and to also be able to print and capture the pictures on my home pc.
I am a happy (photo) camper!
Thanks for your encourgement and support Mr. Sweepy & everyone else!
Wishing you good sweeping and successful wins!
