But how much knock can your camera take before it really fail to function?… How tough is your Canon or Nikon? I have sent my lens for repair once… the lens fault was caused by many hard lens-creep throughout the years! I really hate lens-creep!!! I’m not sure how easy or where is Nikon repair or Kodak camara repair & service centre in my place… coz I don’t own Nikon or Kodak But if you own a Nikon or Kodak, I’m sure you know how to find them… Just the way I know where to repair my Canon…

OK back to the question of how tough is your camera… someone actually did a test… a sick and kinky test on cameras!!! He tortured a Canon 400D and a Nikon D70.

Here is the video of the test… although the video’s title is Nikon D90 vs. Canon 550D, the test is actually conducted on Canon 400D and Nikon D70… check it out… once you finish watching the video, you will never scared knocking your camera again…

And when it comes to just a few enlarged banners print request from time to time, it is not worth to buy and keep a super huge and expensive printer. Every business wants to reduce maintenance and running cost to get their capital back within the soonest possible time.

But how is your business going to entertain enlarged posters and signs print requests and complete the jobs within the shortest time possible? Remember it is a huge work to be completed in the shortest time.

It really doesn’t matter which or what camera you are using at the beginning. The one that really matter is you, the person behind the camera. You are the one who will make the photographs beautiful or majestic and to make people say ‘WOW’ when they look at the photographs.

Some people like to take photos of peoples, animals, buildings, events, weddings, landscapes etc. And all I can think if, they are doing this for two reasons. First, doing photography as a hobby and second, for them to make a living. And it can be both, which I think most of the photographers do, as a hobby and to make a living.

Once you have learned the ‘more than foundation’ of camera or photography, you might want to consider upgrading your gadgets. Of course not the custom cameras for special work in studio. I really don’t think you want to jump into that kind of camera, leave that to the professional because they have the mean and money to own that one. Get decent gadgets which can fit your budget. Do studies or read reviews about the gadgets you want to have before you buy them. If you are into wedding photography, check out what are the lens used by the well know wedding photographer. Of course there is no such thing as wedding cameras, but they do customize their lens combinations to make it suitable for wedding environments.

Usually wedding photographer makes more money at a very short period. That’s because there are weddings everywhere every week, I’m sure you noticed that right? This is what usually new photographer do, into wedding photography. And that’s why you can notice there are many wedding photography around now days. But I’m not into wedding photography. I prefer to be a street photographer. I hope I can travel around the world one day taking photos right from the streets of the world

Anyway, when I got it that day, the CF card I ordered did not come together, because the ‘taukey’ forgot to include it in my earlier order. I have to wait some more days for the CF card. I borrowed a CF card from the shop so that I can start playing with the camera and I did not saved any of the photos captured with it coz most of it are just random shoots for testing the camera.

I got my 4GB SanDisk Extreme Ducati Edition on the 14 March which I did not expect that soon. Up until now, I’ve taken more than 2GB of photos… but most of them are for testing.

Hopefully, I will start publishing more of my photos soon…

These are the first 3 original photos I’ve taken with the Canon EOS 40D and SanDisk Ducati on the 14 March. They are bit shaky…

He is the ‘taukey’… no lah, the boy was helping me with the Ducati and once it’s ready, I captured him.
