"Electric Lighting, illumination by means of any of a number of devices that convert electrical energy into light. The types of electric lighting devices most commonly used are the incandescent lamp, the fluorescent lamp, and the various types of arc and electric-discharge vapor lamps (see Electric Arc)."

Well, I laid out some cash and went with the same model that SaburoS ( and I think Grun) has. It's a Canon EOS 20D

I used to be very much into photography..darkroom and all. After I saw SaburoS's pics, it made me realise that digital was "here"

Anyway, real excited about getting back into photography. Since I bought the camera, I have have not had time to leave my house with it though.....

Like my model making...this is one of my hobbies I have missed.

Start taking some good pics around the house for us. Start with alarms, doors, windows, login window on AH and any other interesting objects. Photos of females wearing little or nothing is also wanted.

thank you.

I don't know that anyone else has the 20D yet.  Grun has a D70, Torque has a 10D... Saburo might have bought a 20D, but he definately has a different canon that he used for the airshow pics (20D wasn't out then).

How do you like it?  What lenses do you have for it?  I'm starting to find that even at $1500, the camera is one of the cheaper investments in the hobby.

I belive Saburo told me that he bought the 20D.  I have the Nikon D70.

MiniD is right about the costs, once you get get into buying  high quality lenses the body will end up being the cheap investment.  Thankfully I'm not there yet as I have only spent about $700 on lenses; $300 for the included kit lens (a bargain), $300 for the 70-300 and $100 for my 50  f1.8..
