I bought my canon 400D on launch day 2007. it is my 3rd digital camera, replacing my Fujifilm S5500 before it. I upgraded to a 40D on Australia Day 2008.

 

I am gradually mastering the mechanics of photography, but still nowhere near taking a good photo every time. Unfortunately composition and lighting still let down the majority of my photos. I am not yet convinced it is possible to teach yourself the artistic side of photography, but I will keep my fingers crossed.
