All committed Olympians, but what other cameras do you own?
      29/04/2008 14:50

I've only really got into photography since my daughter was born just under two years ago, I was looking to buy a decent camera to record her growing up, and after looking at Bridge cameras it became clear I could get a DSLR for not much more. I ended up with the Olympus E-500 twin lens kit after considering the Nikon D50, Canon EOS300d and the Pentax *ist.

Since then I've upgraded to the E-510 twin lens kit, I have also bought a Metz flashgun (44af4) and the sigma 30mm f/1.4.

I also 'discovered' the joys of camera/lens buying on eBay about 18 months ago, and have bought (and sold various cameras), many of which I have either turned a small profit of at least recouped my initial outlay + fees.

In this time I've owned :-

Olympus OM10 + 50mm +manual adapter (sold)
Olympus 35RC - no meter but fixed and a great little rangefinder.
Olympus 35RC - No meter, and could not fix - sold.
Olympus 35RD - Broken and due to be looked into.

Canon EOS300V
Canon EOS5 - Broken command dial - fixed and sold for 100% profit
Canon EOS5 - Same as above, not yet fixed and I'll probably keep it anyway as a great camera.
Canon EOS1000f - very basic but came with a Sigma 28-200mm lens I fancied.

I do like the Canon film cameras,.
