This is my second SLR camera, a Canon EOS 300V which I bought in 2002, my very first was a Ricoh KR5 which I do not have any more because I turned it on photo shop for a compact camera when I go on holiday several years ago time, I think I have this for sentimental reasons and I know I will not use this anymore, now days I shot with a Nikon for the most part and has a small Canon G7X in the pocket often so i dont miss something interesting, its good enough for me..so now you know a part of my camera history.
