New Camera!!

Got my new camera in the mail today. My new-to-me Canon EOS 40D! I have finally replaced my 20D, as hard as that is for me to say. I still have the 20D and it will serve as my back up. I have used it for the past four years. And honestly, recently have not been doing as much photography as I should. I am hoping my 40D will renew that love!

Here is it mated with my 100mm f/2.8 USM Canon lens.

And now the first pictures I have taken with my new camera.

My not so good Martin reel atop my rod stand.

Pipe tobacco.

Walter Mallard’s Canon EOS 40D and Canon EOS 5D

Walter and I were comparing his Canon EOS 40D with my Canon EOS 20D and I took the photo on the right!

The 40D is a really nice camera – and the “Live View” is amazing. The 40D is lighter – even with battery grip – than my Canon EOS 20D, which is actually a negative for me - although it is a big plus for many. I prefer a nice heavy camera. All in all, it's a beautiful camera though! (Still... I love my 20D!!)

The photo below is of Walter’s Canon EOS 5D – a truly amazing camera. In that photo it is perfectly paired with a Canon EF 24 – 70 f/2.8 L lens.
