Cameras

OK, so the 300D wasn't enough, but since Kathy's film Pentax wasn't working as well as it used to, I decided that it was time for her to go digital too.

Of course my plan involved getting a new camera for me, so Kathy inherited the 300D, while I got the 20D.

The 20D is a serious camera, that can produce professional results, of course I had to start acquiring some glass to go with it, so I started the lenses page.

Oh no, what have we all done, since deserting film for digital we all seem to have got onto a never ending upgrade path, so the 20D was replaced by the 40D.

It had been on the cards for a while really, I still love the T90, but using the G2 more, I was pushing it further than it wanted to go, so time for another proper camera.

The EOS 300D was Canon's entry level digital SLR, it lacks some of the Tank's features, but makes up by having some it doesn't have, so a great camera with enough control and features to keep me occupied.

Now the only question is what to do with the G2...

Eventually a time came when even I felt the need to plunge into the digital age, unsurprisingly Canon provided me with the means to accomplish the task.

As my first foray into digital photography, this camera has all of the benefits of the digital age like instant review and TV playback, while still maintaining a high level of photographic control for difficult situations.

I love the folding LCD screen, overall digital is a bit slow, but then I'm not about to throw away the...

I just love this camera, so just had to have one. I bought mine while I was a student, I couldn't afford it, but eating is so mundane anyway, and who needs text books? I sold my T70 into slavery, and went into the camera shop on hands and knees...

Nicknamed the Tank, the T90 was the first camera to be designed with ergonomics in mind, everything is so well thought out.

Many years later, after thousands of miles, countless films and a few scratches it's still going strong, a monument to the original quality. I exclusively used the T90 for my Images of England work.
