My 300d still works bought 2003
1

I like taking out my 300d now and again to see how tech has changed.

Still takes amazing photos albeit slow to save and download.

Some nostalgia:

6Mp

3 frames per sec

Canon EF-50mm Mk II

4cm lcd

Anyone else have a working 300d?

That's great.  It's nice to see summer time photos too.  My first DSLR camera was a new 10mp Olympus E-510 camera.  My second one was a used 8mp Olympus E-500 camera.  As far as I know, they are all still working too.  After using Olympus DSLR cameras for a few years, I then got a 18mp Canon T2i (550D) camera.

Thanks.  These are actually winter photos from sunny Brisbane Australia.

My bad...whoops...forgot about the other side.   That does look very nice and sunny, like summer.

Re: My 300d still works bought 2003

My dad in law still has his with the original kit lens. I used it and it motivated me to buy the 350D. The 350D had better focus and was faster but both cameras were very similar otherwise. Prior to that I had a PowerShot A80 with converters.

BTW the 300D had a firmware hack if I remember well. I had installed on my dads in law camera.

There is always something to shoot/snap, you just have to know how to do it and have the right gear.
