Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you have been enjoying the photography :)
I'm now hoping I wasn't unclear which camera I'm giving out, but it might be because US and EU names for cameras are very different. It seems that the Canon t3i is better than the 500D, as in Europe it's 600D.
They are both still good cameras for their age and I checked out your posts which look really good :)
Hopefully you'll finally manage to do the same as I did and get a big upgrade in the cameras.
Oh, my misunderstanding... I looked up the Canon 500D and realized I know it by "Canon EOS Rebel T1i". I hope you pick a worthy candidate for your camera, I understand how special they can be to a person. This post has still inspired me to one day give away my camera on steemit and "pay it forward" if I ever do end up upgrading. Thank you for your honesty and consideration apsu <3
