I love photography and have always used Canon cameras except once when I stupidly sold my AE1 and AE1 Program + loads of lenses etc to buy an Olympus auto focus SLR (when they first started putting AF onto SLR's)

 

Stupid I know. Got rid of it at a rubbish price considering that I sold my Canon gear for four figures.

 

Got myself a Canon A40 compact for a couple of years and just luuurved that little camera so when the time for change came I upgraded to a Canon A640 compact. Luuurved that to bits too.

 

I went back to a DSLR with a Canon EOS 450D and then a few years later I upgraded to a 70D. In February 2022 I decided that I'd had enough of lugging a heavy camera + grip around and went lite with a M6 Mark II complete with an adapter so that I could keep my better lenses. To compare my new set up is listed below.
