My Photography History

When I was 12 , my sister who came back from overseas gave me a compact Yashica camera. That's how my interest began.....That simple camera has no zoom, no focus just shot as you wish then the result leave it to God! Anywhere it's produce wonderful picture too.( no compare to others).
I started some saving in 2 years before a bought my first SLR: Fujica ST801 + 50mm F1.7 for RM500......Those was in school days then I bought a 35mm lens and found it wonderful for capturing. I did make some pocket money by selling photograph on school sports day, touring and club activities.

After I start working as Music Instructor , I bought Nikon FM2 and Minolta AF7000, then sold it and get Nikon 801....finally slow down and almost quit due to working hectic.

I used it mainly for travelling and my company events.

My first digital camera was Olympus C700 2 .1MP 10X super zoom compact camera in year 2001.
I bought a 128MB card cost me RM499( sound crazy) at that time. I fell proud of it as other uses only 8-32MB.This is a good camera and produce very nice color and sharp too.
I used it happily for more than 5 years. Later I found it's slow start-up, focusing and delay in shooting as compare to DSLR.

My first DSLR was born in 2006 a Olympus E500 twin lens kits(the most value for $)
Used it happily for one year feel like need improve it's quality then I sold it and bought a Nikon D50+ kit lens...suddenly I picture quality appear! Colour, virginity, CA...all better than Olympus(I guess)But I still prefer E500 handling and more buttons in controling.Then I used Fuji S2Pro, S3Pro and D60 and sold it later. I stick to Nikon system for another year before I switch to Canon.

I like Nikon system except the noise. That the main reason I switch to Canon.I had used Canon 20D,30D & 40D.My present gears(from 16th June 09) are: Canon 5D,BG-E4, EF 24-105L, EF 50mmF1.8, 580EXll , 430EX.....
