Take 1

So I got myself a new camera, mainly because I felt like it was time to step up to a better DSLR but also because I work with a number of photographers and have seen their gear.

I got a Canon 60D second hand of trade me, body and grip and some memory cards. I then proceeded to find the right lens. This is a mission with the number of lens types and the large variation in cost and quality and a thick layering of people's opinions I was completely confused with what to get.

I settled on a Canon 18mm to 200mm lens and a cheaper (and lighter) 18mm to 55mm lens and I am now on the look out for a wide angle lens.

Here's some examples of photos with the camera.

I am happy with the camera so far and now need to practice for the trip.
