Sao Lao

I’ve been debating for months now on whether or not to get Cannon EOS 350D or EOS 20D. I’ve been using Canon IXUS 400 for two years now and wanting to have a more powerful camera since I like to take pictures a great deal. I didn’t like how the photos that I took from the First International Conference on Lao Studies (May 2005) came out. The day shots were good enough but the night shots were blah…

So, I devoted some time last summer to search for a good camera review site and found dpreview.com which has a really good review article for Cannon EOS 20D. After spending sometime going over the review, I was like whoa, this baby is too powerful for me! I will have to take a digital photography course for this. I will have to visit my high school art/photography teacher this summer since she is now teaching digital photography class and ask for some tips and tricks.

There goes the old days of seeking solitude in the dark room and the occasional panic attack because you’re not sure if the Home Coming Game pics will turn out well or not. Now I don’t have to worry about not capturing that special moment because I can see what is on the view screen. There is no need for me anymore to build a dark room either. I just need to buy a big enough external hard drive to store all my photos and vdo clips.

Now which Canon EOS is the best for me? I will be happy with either one of them and will put it to great use when I go to Laos later. In the mean time I can practice taking pictures of windmills, canals, and tulip fields.
