I am a Canon guy. I started by buying a Rebel because that was what I was recommended at the time, and I did not feel like changing to other systems. However, my blog is not necessarily about Canon gear. My intention is to provide useful information for anyone who uses a dSLR, be it Canon, Nikon, Sony or Pentax.
In the end, it is all about getting better at what you do, and a camera is only a tool. The only person that can decide what system is better for you, is you.
Having said that, here is my gear list:
