Not counting Polraoids and Kodak Instamatics, my first real camera was a Minolta XG-1, followed by a couple X-700s over the years.

I got tired of messing with film and processing but once digital matured a little I decided to try it. I do love the variable ISO and the endless exposures (click click click click!).

Now I just need to work on being better.

“Now I just need to work on being better.”

Don’t we all?

Me too. That's one thing about these new ones - you don't have to pay for processing. Just erase what you don't like.

My brother had an X700. He's part of the reason I shelled out the bucks for that 7000. That body and a 70-210 and a 28-135 was a lot of dough then. Oh, got the battery grip and a shuuter release cord and a tripod. Was raring to pay for a lot of trashed shots.

Now this SX100 will do all that the Minolta would, except for bracketing. But some "hackers" have figured out how to get a lot of extra features from later Canon cameras. For some reason I can't make a memory card bootable. One of these days....
