Just to bring everything up to date.

The last few weeks have been mad a lot of decision making and sorting out.

I have decided to bring my pension forward a few years and retire, I have had enough of the rat race and fighting to make a living so as of the 1st May I am finished.

In doing that I had to think of what I wanted to do with regards to photo equipment. The two things I want to do is wildlife and family/landscapes and in doing that I don't want too need a donkey to carry my gear around.

After a lot of thought and being like Steve and having a foot in both camps, Nikon and Canon, I have ended up going with Canon.

Two main reasons for this,

1, is that I don't like the way Nikon is going with the MP count, I don't need or want 24-36mp and dealing with the storage/computing power needs that comes along with it.
2, is the limitation of a light good quality 400mm lens in the Nikon line up.

I am glad to see a section in this forum for other cameras as there are a few of us that have a foot in different camps and that those of us that may move on to other brands can still contribute.

Time to put the hardhat on. :rofl:
