Thanks man, that's my little, getting old, Canon SX-280HS with 12.1Mpx. I'd love to buy a new Canon but, too many other irons in the fire working on the property since it warmed up. I did have that huge Canon 7D MarkII, but that camera was so dang complicated you needed a course in how to operate it. I figured out the basics but wow, that was only scratching the surface. I'd like to buy the new Canon Powershot G7 X MarkII. Small enough to put in your pocket but has many of the features that the higher end digital SLR's and mirrorless have. That camera is basically the new, updated, upgraded version of what I have.

8.2Mpx Canon 1DMarkII N, built in 2004. Those were taken with a Sigma 17-35f/1.8 lens.

Sweet, and yeah I forgot to mention, the cost of new lenses for a big SLR is daunting as well.

My Siggy is about $600.

Camera body can be found for a few hundred though, but I paid $1400 in 2009. Retail was $3999.

Now be honest... do you know what EVERY FEATURE on that camera does? ...

I upgrade when the equipment limits me; within maybe a year i may opt for something newer...circa 2010 maybe. But as far as photo-taking? I am pretty well-versed on what the camera can do :-)
