Photography should be about picture-making. That is, after all, why we get into it in the first place (well, most of us). This blog is for photographers, people passionate about making photographs, who want to share ideas and concepts, approaches and attitudes. And yes, there will, from time to time, be gear stuff. Oh, and by the way, while you can download and share this blog, all the material on it is copyrighted. All rights reserved, etc.

Canon"s new Toy




Kia ora tatou:
Well, the speculation is over.
If you were thinking of getting a 20D or moving up from your 300D or even that trusty K1000 film camera....DON"T!
The 20D is now officially obsolete and has been replaced by the 30D. No, it's not the 3MP D30 (remember them?) so you'll have to make sure you say the name correctly, if you don't want to confuse the staff at your local camera store!
By all accounts it will be cheaper than the 20D and better. Don't expect to see one much before September however.
Read about it here or here.
And no, you don't get the lens with it!

So why would one buy a 30D rather than a 5D - other than cost and the need to upgrade one's computer system to handle the 5D bigger files ??

This has knocked down the price of the 20D, so I'm pretty happy to buy 'obsolete' hardware. In fact, I've just spent the weekend behind my nice new 20D.
