Testing the new Canon T1i SLR. Pics of the TL!

Just got this camera and so far I LOVE it!! I am by no means a professional and these were some of the first pics I took using it with the standard lens all on the auto setting and obviously greatly reduced in size. Let me know what you think and for any of you that are into photography I would love some tips and recommendations.

As for the car its my 07 TL mods so far are: Type S wheels, taillights, markers, painted splash gaurds, painted headlights with clear lens projectors.

No I never really considered the Type S when I was looking for a TL. Even though I love the TL-S I wanted the tan "parchment" interior, softer ride, and slightly better fuel economy.

lol.. you're going to regret that decision. The camel interior is a dirt magnet. Take a picture a year from now.. I was looking at your interior and going.. "damn.. that's what it's supposed to look like"

The TL-S has decent fuel efficiency as well.. but a bit more muscle. Glad you found a TL? how much did you pay?.. and nice dSLR btw.. I'm getting a D90 for my father.. He's always been a Nikon guy.

Nope not when your a neat freak like me. I have had cars with WHITE leather seats and I keep them absolultely perfect. I also find that black interiors are dirt magnets you see everything especially on the carpet. As far as muscle the LS3 takes care of that issue.

So far I love the TL I paid $24.6 for it im the second owner.

Well the previous owner/s of my TL were douchbags.. I've tried to amend the damage but it's like a leaky faucet.. can't keep soaking up the water.. need to replace the stem.

For $24.6K you could have gotten a '07 Type-S, but probably needed to wait a couple / few months since it's not as common as base TL, but I will say that your ride is like new.. and for buying it so soon, not a bad grab. I hope you enjoy it as your new DD. Nice C6 btw.. you hear Lingenfelter is producing a twin turbo '10 Camaro SS with 800HP/800ftlb TQ.. boy oh boy.

Yeah I guess I could have found one for that price although I have yet to see one in that range myself atleast with the miles and condition I would want. From my research clean decent mileage 07 /08 TL-S around the Chicago area is going for $27-31K range.

Thanks for the comments.

Nice camera. I saw an ad today and it's not a bad price considering the picture quality.

Damn your interior is so freak'n clean.

Nice Vette too, Don't you have a SRT8 as well?

The man has a Corvette....i don't think the extra 30hp going to the front wheels really wouldve made much of a difference. That being said, nice line-up
