Here are some flowers from the Botanical Gardens. I visit that place at least couple of times each year and it just so happens that for the past few years I brought a different camera every year to snap the pictures. Here is one taken with my trusty P&S Nikon Coolpix P5000. And later on came this one taken with my first SLR, Nikon D40x. And the current one was taken with my Canon XSi. Looking at all three side by side you can really get the impression that I’ve been trying to get closer and closer to those tiny little pollen producing buggers, which some might consider strange since I suffer from seasonal allergies.

It looks like that reference to Nikon may be my last for a little while, because Angelika has just converted.
Her Nikon was a nice camera, but our inability to share lenses and accessories was taking its toll – something had to give. After a few months of back-and-forth, it was generally acknowledged that there were some essential features and options on the XSi that the D40X lacked… most notably an AEB setting and more than three focusing points.
Anyway, some new lenses will be here soon as well. Canada Post is taking its sweet time…
