I've been interested in photography on and off since high school. I shot B&W film with a manual Pentax SLR and setup a small darkroom in a storage area off my kitchen. Making my own prints was great, but hated working with the chemicals. My first digital camera was a small 2megapixel Canon A20 but soon found it limiting, so I migrated to a more feature rich camera the Canon G3. The G3 had most of the features of a full DSLR including RAW format, aperture and shutter priority modes but I found the shutter lag to be painful and missed a lot of shots waiting for the camera to respond.
I'm now on my third DSLR, the Canon 7D after upgrading from a 40D and 20D, both were great cameras and I still have both bodies today. Here is a list of what's in my arsenal of equipment:
