History of my cameras:
1st camera: Fujifilm FinePix 4800z (06/2002-11/2003)
By that time I was in entry level player, the camera is for life snapshot only. Lots of memory remained. Now it's still functioning for my friend.
2nd camera: Minolta Dimage 7Hi (11/2003-08/2005)
I was still an entry level player in photography. With it I shot photos the most and developed my knowledge base about photography. Not much snapshot taken after having it. It's sold finally.
3rd camera: Konica Minolta Dynax 5D (08/2005 - present)
It's a very nice camera, I'm happy with it. I shot scenery photos the most and few of life snapshots. I find that as the camera becomes bigger and bigger, my memory of life is blurrier and blurrier. Though I'm still an entry level player in photography.
4th camera: Canon PowerShot A520 (11/2005 - present)
Since the DSLR is too big to carry everyday. I bought this compact DC to deal with my life snapshot. It's light weight and convenient.
