| Summary of Content |
| Canon EOS 500n - This replaced my Pentax MX when I lost it years ago. It was fairly cheap and more suited to my large hands. Its reliable, smooth and quality of pictures is fine for me. The USM focussing is pretty effective and certainly more accurate than my eyes. The new digitals 300 / 350 (and now the 400) are not dissimilar and will be where I'm heading next (subject to funds being available). | ||
