The march of technology

So my last post was about Nicky leaving college and entering the big bad world. Well along with her website we have made some investments into some camera technology. We had a look at Nikon and Canon - but the deciding thing was talking to the guys at York Cameras. Nikon have some full frame cameras - very nice, but the range of lens to take advantage is slim. So we plumped for canon (which i have used for a number of years) and have a much wider range of lens. I have 4 of the L series high end glass so that makes a difference. So which camera body do we splash the cash on? We ended up with Canon 5D mark II. Full frame. 3.9 fps and a 21M CMOS. Also you can shoot HD 30fps movies. Go figure! Put some L series lens in front of it and you've got a nice setup.
