I have been interested in photography since the mid 80s. My first camera was an Olympus XA3. This camera served me well, and I took many good photos with it. Then in the early 90s I purchased my first SLA, a Pentax. After using this for a while and again gaining good results, I bought a Canon EOS 100, with 2 lenses, and flash unit. I was now hooked. After a couple of years of taking photos at friends' weddings and general use my interest started to fade. Also I didn't like having to carry all the gear around I stored away.
In August 2001, before a holiday to Venice, I decided to get a new modern compact camera. Persuaded by a friend I bought a digital camera. I knew nothing of digital photography but had computer knowledge, so decided it was the way to go. I purchased a Fujifilm 6800z and was hooked again.
In 2003 I decided it was time to revisit the SLR arena, and with Canons introduction of their 300D, it was the obvious choice. I am still taking hundreds of photos, with renewed enthusiasm.
I am a great believer that photography is the art of capturing what you see using the camera, and not editing it afterwards on the PC. I am not saying that the digital editing should not happen (ie removing an intruding object), but each has its place and should be judged separately and not side by side.
