I bet you all took 100 photos of the same thing when you got your first camera.

Sorry to disappoint but coming from years of film and a Agfa 2mp digital (circa 2000) with a very small card, not so. :P

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

The most recent camera, yes you are right. I was sitting on the couch with my feet kicked up. And those 100 shots? It was of my right leg, playing around with the DOF. OK, it wasn't 100 shots, but it was over 30! :rofl:

I don't need no stink'in Signature! ha ha ha

My first DSLR was a Fuji S2-Pro. I bought it locally and never considered taking it back. It was a fantastic camera and I sold it to a guy I work with. It still takes great images. I had already owned and I still own the Minolta Dimage 7 so digital wasn't new for me. That old Minolta still takes a great image at ISO 100. Very good color also.
