Can the Powershot G11 be considered to be part of the EOS lineup, since it supports the Speedlite EX series?
A photo from my old and beloved Sony DSC-W100. After months of struggle, it finally died for good. I wrote about it on my blog:
"I always bought a lot of cameras. I could never decide what I liked, could never decide what I wanted or needed. Sad really, I've wasted so much money on cameras it almost isn't funny. It definitely isn't funny. I at one time would carry two Leica M9s with different lenses so I wouldn't 'miss' anything. 20k of kit and did it make me a better photographer? No. My photos weren't better. It was ridiculous.
A couple of summers ago, I was starting to get out of this. Mostly because I had sold off my expensive Leica gear to pay for going back to school. That summer, I traveled back to my home province of #Newfoundland. Drove halfway across Canada. I didn't even take that many photos on the way. I didn't really like photography much anymore even though it was supposed to be a project.
After being there for a couple of weeks, I was going somewhere with my aunt and she asked me to look for her keys under the seat of her car. Next to the keys was this old digital camera. A #Sony dsc something-or-other, I pulled it out. To my surprise it turned on, ha. My aunt joked that it had been there for a winter, or two. It kept me occupied for the 15 minute trip. I don't know what I loved, I just loved how it worked. It reminded me of the old Ricoh film cameras I had once used. Simple settings, one click for everything. Viewfinder. The first photo I took of my cousin next to me (I'll post it next- the last fish photo was from this as well) is a very important one for me. I started to take photos again. I took photos of everything for the next two weeks. I took the @artisanandartist strap off my Leica and jimmy rigged it to work on this one. Strap surely cost more than the camera. Cameras really don't matter. At least 'good' ones don't.
During the last two years, I've learned more from this camera than any other. It allows me to not think, which is the way photography should be. I should take photos as I feel like it and it has taught me to try and take good ones without thinking too much. The camera died for good (I believe), and it is a sad day. I don't talk about gear much, but I sure loved this camera. And owe it one. It got me back into loving photography.. RIP little dude."
There is more on my blog including many of my favorite photos from that camera:

I lent my Olympus Mju1 to a student to shoot a roll of film and he didn't quite finish it, I was developing the roll too so I finished it off. I haven't shot with it for a long time and I really enjoyed it, sure the shutter button is a bit vague but I love the tiny form factor and no nonsense settings. I reckon the lens is pretty decent too.
I took this at the beautiful Sissinghurst Castle and Gardens in Kent.
Also my scanner seems to have lost the ability to detect 35mm frames successfully!
