Crazy Fool

My first camera was my Father's Olympus OM1

I started shooting film somewhere in my sophomore year of highschool.

As a Junior, my art teacher had a Nikon D70 that he let me use whenever and wherever I wanted, but still shot mostly film, processed in my school's darkroom.

The summer before I went to College I bought a D50

quickly outgrew that, but I didn't have money for a new camera until for two years, when I bought a D300

I also own 2 nikon film bodies and a Yaschica A:

next camera will be the D700 replacement. D800, or whatever they call it.

Photo burst, more AF points and only real video reason is weather sealing/build quality.

Ohh wow. My first camera was some old point and shoot that shot some terrible SD quality video.

Then I got myself a GL2...

Then a little over a year later I sold that guy and got myself a Sony V1U...

And once again a year later I made enough money to cover the difference to afford myself an HVX...

[IMG]dvxuser.com/articles/HVX200/IMG_1722.JPG[/IMG]

I kept the HVX for a while and then bought a T2i to go along with it...

And just a month ago I bought myself my favorite camera to date... My FS100! :)

After almost 4 years with my HVX, I sadly had to sell it in order to have some cash to pay rent and live. I will miss my HVX. It had a good life with me, but I am so excited for my FS100 that I do not think I would use it anymore. Still have the t2i though. Mainly for time lapses.
