Hi all. Well I bought Canon last week...

... because I need more speed and lower noise levels.
I had to sell my C-8080 which I liked very very much :-(

I have been taking pics with film SLR very long time so it was only matter of time when I move to DSLR, and now that time was right for me.

So now I have both, film & digital SLR.

I also think that this forum is best and I will be missing all of you...

Here is two pics with Canon 20D.

ISO 800, RAW, 70-200 4L

ISO 1600, RAW, 17-85 IS USM

Best Regards
Pasi

Congratulasions Pasi and good luck with the Canon!
I'm right behind you I suppose so c ya "over there"

Hope to be able to keeep the c8080 though, buying 22mm equivalent for dslr is too expensive =/ Should be cheaper to buy the wcon for oly...

Excellent pictures as always!

that the CTF is the "friendliest forum on the Internet"

Congratulations.

IMHO the detail in your high-ISO pics is stunning.

Hi Pasi,

I echo your statements here. I also bought a 20D recently, and for the same reasons, I now have both film and digital SLRs, and I definitely think the Oly forum is the best (friendliness, helpfulness, etc).

Best of luck with your 20D.

Kind Regards,
Brian

Brian G. and Pasi,

You guys trying to make us jealous : )

Good luck with your cameras, the 20D is a very impressive unit. I would have went with one if I had Canon glass. did you guys buy with the kit lense? I absolutely enjoy my 8080 as I have officially retired my 4040. I find the 8080 easy to use as having Olympus before helped with the menu system. Now if I only lived in warm climate..........

Thank you.

Yes, I did buy mine with the kit lens, but I had a buyer for that lens already lined up.

Yes, I love my 8080 as well. I think it is a fantastic camera and is capable of some really stunning imagery. I think perhaps my only gripe is its slow focusing.

Thanks again Jeff. =)

Brilliant!! Love the shallow depth of field in the first shot!

What was the shutter speed for the 2nd shot (ISO 1600) ?

Those are very clean and smooth, very good!

But why didn't you get the E-1 (or the upcoming E-300).

Tell us when you're tired of cleaning your CMOS, and longing for the supersonic dust remover

Congrats on getting the DSLR. That seems to be going around lately. You killed me with the first shot. Not only because it's great but because I grew up with 2 Collies. Beautiful. Have fun with the new camera.
