I have a Canon 20D Various lenses all Canon some better than others (par for the course) Likes Love the 20D, instant start up 5 fps when I need it, fast write to card, metal body, very durable. (free upgrade from 10D via repair or replace) Grin, excellent image quality and noise handling, can produce superb large prints, Shutter lag, what does that mean? not much to fault it on. Canon T70: A real workhorse and still in perfect (but well worn) working order. 580 EX (superb cant fault it) 420 EX (lacks flash exposure compensation) apart from that cant really fault it. MR 14 EX (superb cant fault it) Manfroto 055 Pro tripod with Manfrotto 141RC head, very sturdy. Canon i9950 A3 Printer, superb print quality, economical on ink, single inks, fast and quiet (so the misses doesnt get annoyed when printing at 3am lol) Logan 301s matt cutter (almost idiot proof matt cutting system) Dislikes As DSLR's go I cant really fault it, if I was being really picky the one thing that is a little frustrating, is the mirror lock up being buried in the menus (come on canon how hard can it be to add a custom mirror lock up button?) Only 6 frame RAW buffer. (Not an issue most of the time) Didnt like the small viewfinder at first but used to it now. Its not a 1D or 5D lol Misc Toyota Yaris: Love it and it almost runs of vapor (its black too so it matches the 20D body lol)

The Truth is Out There
