bodies i still have
20d
40d
450d
1dx mk2
some of them were bought in the year of release and some bought second hand for various reasons
in the early days i wen't a bit daft with new releases the first was the 300d which put me on the path of digital SLR'S, the shutter packed in just out of warranty and was replaced with the 350d
i bought the 450d at launch which seemed to promise wonderful things on paper but unfortunately failed to deliver in real use. i sold it very shortly afterwards and bought the 40d
shortly after the purchase of the 40d the 50d was released and for whatever reason GAS kicked in and i ended up jumping in the car and travelling ( 200 miles ) down to bristol cameras to get one, it was the closest outlet that had one in stock
in hindsight i should of got the 40d and have done with it, the 450d was disappointing and there wasn't enough difference between the 40 and 50d to really warrant the purchase of the 50d but we live n learn i suppose
i started buying second hand after that
the 450d and 20d i have now was bought second hand for the siblings to use which they do every now and again
the 40d sits in a drawer with a broken shutter with a very low shutter count and immaculate condition
i can't bring myself to throw it away and i could buy another cheaper than a replacement shutter so it just sits there
i moved on to full frame after that which eventually brought me to the 1dx mk2 which i will be using for the foreseeable future
