Loving my Canon 40D

I recently got myself a Canon 40D. After a 3 year wait, I can finally afford to buy myself a DSLR, and have been going crazy with it for the last couple of weeks.

larger version.

Largely influenced by Thomas Hawk’s passion, I have started carrying the camera everywhere I go: to work, when I go shopping, and even when I am just walking around the neighbourhood. I shot this picture, on my back from work, last Friday. With all the shooting, I am running out of HDD space very quickly. I am ok, for the next month (I have 2 external 80GB HDD + around 60GB in my laptop). After that, I will need to move the old ones to DVDs (something, which I hate doing: easy to lose shots, and difficult to retrieve).

Any suggestions are welcome (If anyone is reading this!). Oh.. I almost forgot,

Here are the links to my photostream:

  • Thanks Vijay! I would have never guessed that I would get traffic from Scott Adams' blog! How cool is that! Wow!

    Anyway, if you are interested in photography, I would suggest that you get a Canon 20D or 30D (second hand) rather than the 400D.
  • Chanced on your blog through your comment on Scott Adams blog (Caught my eye since I got fooled as well). Anyway, checked out some of your pictures. You seem to have knack of capturing people in the right moments. Good job. Have been thinking of buying a canon 400D for sometime now but haven't been able to bring myself to shell 40K Rs yet.
  • @Yuvi: I know, its has been the single best purchase of my life! :) I will be reviewing it today on "The Nothing Show" if you are interested

    @bants: The lowest prices is $2360. geez dude, if only I has that kinda money. Consider putting some change in my "tips" bucket on my home page :)

    Shiva you can try replacing your laptop with
    HP ProLiant ML310 G4 1TB SATA Storage Server which gives you more space :)
