I didn’t get any Christmas presents or birthday presents.

The Canon EOS 5D wasn’t a particular choice. I had a couple of Canon EOS 30D cameras that I used and a NikonD40. I really like the Canon cameras, though with the SLR’s, it is the lenses that make the difference rather than the camera bodies, so that‘s where to spend the cash. The EOS5D was a gift from work and I subsequently bought an EOS20D in Shanghai last Autumn and that is the camera I prefer. The pics above use the lens kit, but with a more appropriate lens and filter, the 5D photos look like this (all Iran) -









Much clear than the earlier set.

Oh an EOS5D costs $US 600 at the Shanghai factory now and that is with lenses. You don’t get a receipt of course. Orders taken (from people I like!)

ps - I was joking about my presents - I'm celebrating on Friday when I get home - just in case anybody felt compelled to go out and buy me one.
