I finally upgraded to a digital SLR in mid April (2006). Why did I Choose a Canon SLR? I have been using a Canon 'point and shoot', since October 2002, first with an A40 and then an A85. The A40 is still going strong (after going around the clock twice). I had been more than pleased with both my Canon 'point and shoot' cameras, so it was no contest: it had to be a Canon again.
So on 15th April 2006 I became the proud owner of a Canon EOS 350D with a 18-55mm lens. At the same time I purchased a 1GB card, spare battery, a good tripod and a UV filter. Later I obtained a 'lens hood', that I have found to be invaluable when shooting towards the sun. For the first few weeks I had the feeling that the camera was in charge of me, but I have now started to master it, I NOW FEEL MORE IN CONTROL. (But still lots to learn)
On Christmas day (2006) I was given a Sigma lens 18-125 ( and yes I did thank Father Christmas ) I'm now using it as my 'walk around' lens.
For my sixtieth Birthday in April (2007) I was given a Canon lens EF 50mm 1:1.8 11 - Thanks Jackie.
I have also acquired a extra 2 GB and a 4GB card - as I'm starting to shoot more and more in RAW.
I will be using these pages to show some of the pictures I have taken with my 350D.
