A while back I promised everyone to write some more about the new digicam I bought. It's an Canon EOS 350D, Digital SLR. Here you can find the review of it made by DPreview.com (it has been updated!)


As with all Digital SLR's they aren't really cheap, actually quite expensive, but  I still had some 'verlofdagen' left so I could get it a lot cheaper. I got the EOS 350D with the 18-55mm lens. When I got the box to my surpise it stated that I could get a free 256 Meg CF card for it. That's nice, but not really necessary as I already bought a 1G CF card before that. Just after 2 weeks of owning it I almost made 700 pictures (mostly of our cats running around the house).

After deciding that I wanted more telephoto range I scouted marktplaats and saw a Canon EF 90-300USM lens for sale. The Canon EF 90-300USM is not that great quality for a lens, but the price is also very cheap for this range. So I got this lens yesterday and I must say it's worth the little money you pay for it. It feels cheap and light, but does work just fine. Also after seeing why the previous owner selled it I know also know what will be my next lens purchase. The Sigma 50-500MM :)

My search history indicates that quite some people are searching for drivers for an EOS 350D on Linux. Well you only need gphoto to do this, Altough I only tested this once as I use my Apple with Mac OS X to get the pictures of my camera.

More Info, might come in the future, but now I don't feel like writing any more :)
