My Epic arrived today (3/26). Time to give the baby a name.

[Elizabeth Lowrey]

It came today, still missing a few backorder items that should arrive within the week. This is the most exciting purchase I've ever made (my first (and only) new car is a close second). Pics to follow.

Now if I can just settle on a name. I have two in mind. Must sleep on it. I'm exhausted!

Anytime someone confuses my Epic for a Scarlet, I'm always very quick to correct them. I'm like a high school girl wearing designer jeans and someone asks which Target they came from. "ummmmm exccuuuuuse ME. This is an Epic!" ::smacks gum::

:thumbsup:

Congrats on your Epic!

[Elizabeth Lowrey]

Thanks for all the replies, you guys. Believe it or not, I didn't get to touch the camera today because of commitments on a million different things, and tomorrow won't be much better. I'm hoping to finally mount lens and power up on Thursday. Once my insurance is in place, I'll even venture outside my house with it.:-)

Congratulations Elizabeth!!

Especially because you are a girl, and so few take this step[s, so CONGRATS again... ;)

Ahem... Ketch, that would be "woman." :smiley:

[Nathaniel Kramer]

Congrats Elizabeth!
However giving your camera a name is really quite nerdy! But enjoy it and treat it well and it will give you back much pleasure

[KETCH ROSSi]

Okay... Sorry of my Italianglish... ;)

A woman it is.

As charming as you are, Ketch. I'd imagine you might be forgiven.

Well, I'm pretty nerdy myself, so it's probably apropos.:-)

Indeed he is! When you're 47, you don't mind occasionally being called "girl", LOL.

Congratulation Elizabeth for you new Epic

As far as a name for your camera, I chose a name based on my serial number. In 1474, Isabella declared herself queen of Castile. Hence, my camera, SN# 1474, is Isabella. What's your serial number? :-)

Mine is 2114. The "211" part is like fantasy-level synchronicity for me. Not sure what to make of the extra 4. But I'm not lacking for ideas on the names, I'm just trying to decide whether one of them is too obvious.:-) I'm pretty sure it will be either "Gabriel" or "Hans Solo".

The story on the last one is kinda funny. I have never watched any of the Star Wars movies, know nothing of their plots, and only know a few of the famous character names from inevitable pop culture exposure. But when my nephews were little, I recall one of them wanting a "Hans Solo" action figure for Christmas.

Fast forward to last fall, when I had a very significant dream in my spiritual journey (which is the subject of the documentary film I'm going to shoot with this camera), and a very prominent symbol in the dream was a two year-old child named "Hans Solo". It was only later, when I googled the name as I was working out interpretations for the dream, that I realized the character name is actually "Han Solo". Since I'm pretty much a solo production team (money to hire is a real issue at this point, but I'm also a reforming control freak who still has difficulty delegating), I'm thinking the "Solo" in "Hans Solo" is very descriptive. So I'm leaning that way.:-)

[Patrick Grossien]

Even more funny, when you think about that his name is "Han Solo" ;) hehehe
Hans is probably his evil german counterpart ;)

I'm teasing. But it's still true ;)

[Elizabeth Lowrey]

Was waiting on some accessories to role in and for the one-million things pulling at me for attention these last few days to settle enough to let me give my proper attention to my new baby. I powered it up for the first time today. I'm so in love it's pathetic!!!!!
