Unfortunately I found it too expensive and stopped taking photos.
In 2002 I borrowed a Nikon E5700 digital compact camera, took it with me on holiday and got hooked on photography again. I could see immediately how the photo looked like after I took it.
The Canon G3 was my next camera. In 2005 I bought my first digital SLR: a Canon 350D. Nowadays I use a Canon 50D.
Today I am learning more about photography than ever, because you can experiment with different settings and see the result immediately.
