Canon EOS 20D
| 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 fiendish and cunning plan
involved getting a new camera for me, so
Kathy inherited the 300D, while I got the
20D.
It's a more serious camera, faster,
more responsive, and higher
resolution. The 20D is a
professional camera, that can produce
professional results, of course I had to
start acquiring some glass to go with it,
so I started the lenses

It had been on the cards for a while
really, I still use (and 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, you can see it's
design story at the Canon
Museum's T90 Story.

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 now exclusively use the T90 for my Images
of England work.

My camera collection consists of the below list, also there are my
previous camera loves, but alas, ones I no longer own. As you can see I'm
a bit of a Canon freak, but I see no reason to change brands when I'm so happy
with the one I've got.
