I'm just back from my trip in France where I could try out my new camera: a Canon EOS D30
It's truly a nice camera and I was just stunned to see the quality of the
pictures I could get with this camera.
I've always known I was interested in photography but I didn't have the time
or the courage to get into it, that's why I started with a digital camera last
year. After a while, I started buying photography books to improve my skills
but I quickly realized the difference between a compact camera and a SLR
...
The first chapter of the book was mentioning about setting the aperture to f/16 (the sunny 16 rule) but I was so frustrated when I realized my camera wasn't able to go beyond f/8 that it didn't take me long to get this D30 !
On top of being extremely fast in terms of autofocus (compared to any other compact camera), you can buy different lenses for each style of photography (that's actually where it starts getting expensive !)
I took some holidays in October 2001 to go back to France and see my family and friends. Against all my expectations, the weather was great and very warm (well ... for that season ... even in Britanny !!) and most of the clothes I had brought with me (turtlenecks, etc.) stayed the whole time in the suitcase ... Oh well, I'm not going to complain since it made the trip very pleasant.
By the way, those were taken with my 3rd digital camera, a Canon EOS D30 ... Awesome !
