50D

The temptation of a province without a provincial sales tax proved to be too much for me this past weekend as I decided not to wait for the increasingly expensive 5D, but instead upgrade to the more realistic Canon EOS 50D. This is a fine camera, and to go along with it, I ended up purchasing the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM lens which is one of the nicest, highest quality, non L-series lens Canon makes. It apparently contains the same high quality optics, it just lacks the red stripe and the weather sealing.

This one is quite a bit heavier and bulkier than the last one, but it feels right—very solid and even the sound the shutter makes is more satisfying. I have updated my gear page with the new acquisitions and an updated wish list.

Now days it is very difficult to find a community where you are free to Discuss Everything. Lets be frank for a minute here, we are currently living in the society where rules are above and beyond Have to be followed everywhere. Personally i do not like this. Where are those times when you could? Actually speak your mind, Discuss Everything that comes to mind without a fear of being punished. We are always ready to shout "We live in democratic society" but if you really think about what this Society brought us over the years, nothing but strip us of basic rights for freedom of speech and Expression. As far as i see it we should be able to Discuss Everything at any place we feel to do so. Otherwise we are no better then Communist countries where at least they are saying out loud: you have no freedom of speech. But in any western country currently freedom of expressing has been suppressed so much that it does not exist on the basic level anymore. We are being told we can Discuss Everything, but in Reality, we always have to think before we speak. Your comments are welcome.
