I love cameras. But it wasn't until AFTER I obtained a degree in photography that I discovered I really don't have much of a talent for taking pictures. Oh sure, I know my way around a camera, but understanding lighting, color and camera settings really doesn't do you much good unless you have a creative eye. Composition is my weakest link.
I like both film and digital cameras. Up until recently I was using my film cameras most of the time; a Hasselblad medium format and a Nikon SLR.
Then in 2006 I gave in and decided to purchase a Canon A70 digital camera. It was only a 3.3 mp camera but it took beautiful pictures and it was small enough to stick in my pocket. Soon after, I bought a Sony F-717 5 mp digital camera. I liked the SLR style of the camera, even though it is actually a point and shoot with a large barrel lens. It also takes gorgeous pictures.
This past summer Canon released its G9 digital camera, and I just had to buy it. I love the G Series, and this camera had everything I was looking for.
Since purchasing the G9, I haven't picked up my film cameras. I think I've finally been convinced.
If you are looking for a good camera resource on the internet, I can recommend a few. Here's a good place to start...
