addicted to photography

by t on April 20, 2006

You’ve been using the ‘ol digital point-n-shoot its-so-easy your-2-year-old could-be-a-pro camera since the revolution began 5 years ago. The quality of the chip in that camera is so fancy that you’ve blown up some of those shots to showcase your artistic potential.

And now you’re ready to upgrade: SLR.

I was reminded quickly by my pro photographer friends that it comes down to Nikon or Canon. Having been a canon man for a few years and feeling a tie to brand from having met their corporate team, I wanted to go that route. But I was lost as to the true pros and cons of which SLR to buy. Enter Dave and his bonafide site, eosrebels. This guy takes the complex nomenclature of the photo world alongside the easy to understand cost-to-benefit of the canon models and makes your decision simple.

Now I really feel like a pro… as does my wife. Though the new challenge has been deleting enough of the beautiful shots to keep it digestable. I suspect its annoying the family to weed through 500 shots from the vacation.

“The camera can be the most deadly weapon since the assassin’s bullet. Or it can be the lotion of the heart.”
