It can’t be denied that I love taking photos of anything under the sun. I meant anything; kids and adults, landscape, sky, flowers and bees, animals, corners, virtually anything except for those that I might be sued when taken a snap of. I take pride in sharing those photos on my blogs, which I lost count of already. It’s a good thing that hubby shares the same hobby with me…yes, I get to be spoiled at times. ^_^
We’ve had our fair share of cameras, analogue and digital. Pictured above would be our latest acquisition (lol). I’ve had the 400d for 4 years and the 7D for more than 2 years now and I’m really loving it. Though I don’t take videos a lot, hubby does. That’s why he got the 5D Mark I for me to try, full frames – that is. Having these big bodied-cameras is surely all worth it but I really feel the weight whenever I carry them around. The body alone is 820g, I always had 2 batteries in a grip and the lens, though I prefer the 50mm, I also use the 18-200, that’s 398 grams. Put the flash in too and imagine how heavy that can get. Resting on my neck is bearable but when I do shoots, I really could feel the weight on my shoulders that I call them that: neck and shoulder breakers…I bet I look funny when I flare my arms around. ^_^
That all said, I truly miss my Sony Cybershots (f505v, f717). Though they look odd with protruding lens, I loved them for their macro capacity. I never even had the chance to include them in this family photo of cameras. (Oh, the iPhone was placed by my little boy who kept insisting it is also a camera). Missing in photo is the 5D.
Oldies and the newbies are all here?? This is a collection already and your son is right. the iPhone can be an extended family. 🙂
Nice collection isn’t it. This can cost a fortune.
Haha, yep her son is right! Maybe iPad can be one of them too.!
I’m so envious seeing those neck and shoulder breakers! 😀 No one in the family is really into photography except me, so I don’t get spoiled when in comes to equipment 🙁 I’ve been enjoying my 550D for over a year now, but I’m still saving up to buy a battery grip + new batter + speed light. I think when I’m already happy with my shots, plus I already have the money, I’ll start investing on a full framed camera.. 🙂
If you’re a blogger, especially a food blogger you really need a good camera.
You are still lucky SUMI coz you own one great camera. I wish I can have one too soon!
i know nothing about cameras,i only get interested to acquire one when i started to blog hehe, i need to save a lot to buy the one you had in the picture 🙂 lots of cameras wow!
We’re in the same boat. I’m also ignorant when it comes to cameras.
If you already own a camera, then the learning process will be much easier. It all takes good practice right?
You do have a wide range of collection of neck breakers. I’m using a Sony Nex 3 because of its lightweight features and powerful micro four thirds lens.
I think that was a great accessories or add on right Franc? Wish you can post the pic of it.
An apt name for such heavy gadgets. I miss having a DSLR, especially during travels. A compact camera is not just enough to capture the beauty of world. I definitely agree with your little boy about the iPhone hahaha! Whenever I’m lazy to bring our LX3, I’ll use the excuse of using iPhone camera.
That’s the beauty of having an iPhone!
iPhone cameras are great as well when used efficiently. If you are capturing not so detailed scene, then this iPhone camera will be enough, I think.
That’s a nice collection you have there. Believe it or not I only have one camera and I seldom use it. I’m not very fond of taking pictures.
How I really wish I can own one of those kind of cameras. Love to play with them. I badly need and want one.
