I have been interested in photography for many years. I started with the good old proven 35mm pocket cameras. That was in the late 70's. I moved to the more convenient, yet less durable and lower quality, disc camera from Kodak. Skipping to the current times, I now have a full DSLR (my third). I love it. I never knew just how fast a DSLR could get a good capture until I tried to find a pocket camera to go with it.

When Canon released the D60 into the USA I was all over it. I started building my collection of lenses. The D60 was an outstanding camera with a large 6.3MP CMOS sensor. The color depth and sharpness was all but untouchable by anything under $4000. It unfortunately got damaged in a crash. The Canon still worked, but needed some expensive repairs to by fully usable again. Canon builds they're cameras like tanks.

I bought a Samsung 10PM pocket camera that also recorded video. That was a great little camera that I put through hell. I gave than to a friend that never had a descent camera. It was slow on the first picture, but faster once it had the white balance calculated. Although this was a great pocket camera I missed the speed of the DSLRs. I tried a few other compact cameras along the way and decided I was a DSLR person after all.

A little over a year ago I found a Canon 30D demo that was used as a demo, but still in very nice condition, for less than the repair costs of my D60. I snatched that 30D up in the blink of an eye. It was an upgrade to an effective 8.2MP sensor and back to the speed of a DSLR. I sold that camera today.

I now have a 7D, which has replaced my other video cameras and the 30D. I'm in love with photography all over again.


That's my story. What's yours?

I shoot music and sports as a hobby and side business. I use all Olympus gear (personal preference for their lenses.)

Looking forward to going out on a shoot tomorrow :). Supposed to be a really nice day. Hopefully there will be a little bit of cloud cover for more diffused light though.

I gave the 7D a bit of exercise today. I haven't downloaded any of the pictures yet. I'm looking forward to a great day tomorrow to try a few more things out on it.
