Although not a professional photographer but a Senior Service Technician of Macintosh computers, I've been interested in

photography for many years,  but never invested in any film equipment beyond the cheap point-and-shoot type cameras.

In April 2000,  I decided to take the plunge into digital photography.

I bought a Kodak "pro-sumer" camera which I used for 2 years. I then stepped up to a better "pro-sumer" Nikon Coolpix. I got

some very nice shots with these cameras,  but I always felt limited by them. I would miss shots due to power-up time,  focus time, 

shutter lag,  lack of zoom,  poor low-light ability,  etc.

I wanted the limitations to be mine,  not the camera's,  so in April,  2005 I bought a Canon 20D with several quality lenses, 

a flash unit,  tripod,  etc. I have been very happy with this amazing camera and have captured some wonderful moments with it.
