Great little camera during that time if you ask me. But I wanted more as a upcoming photographer so I looked around and I had basically two choices in mind: 300D or 350D. These were both extremely popular cameras at the time. But then the 400D came out shortly after I was beginning to look for a dSLR and I bought that one so I had a brand new camera. I did however consider a D70 for a while but I decided to stay with Canon since I had already gotten myself one, along with a lens or two. This was a couple of years ago when the 400D hit the market. Just some six months ago I sold my 400D and bought myself the 7D. Today I would never shoot Nikon. And it's nothing other than the fact that I've grown into Canon and its interface. Hell, I like pretty much all camera brands. But for me, since I've been using Canon for a few years, the interface and the feeling is just right. The next step will be full format, but until then, I'll probably be able to suck out a few years out of my 7D. I shoot Canon and here’s why:

I am now 35. I grew up doing Photography in Yearbook and they always had Canon. Thought Andre Agassi was awesome too. Why would you switch companies when over 25 years you can count on two hands the amount of problems with LOTS of gear being used. Canon also has something like 90% of the market share which allows them to offer superb products. Not going to say Canon is the best BUT they are in the top two.:-) Canon cameras have been in my hands for over 25 years now. I am now 35.

It was just a name I was familiar with and wanted to stick with. Did I look at Nikon? Yup. But that familiarity with the Canon brand just stuck. I didn't know anything about the technologies when I chose. Although, even now after reading lots of reviews, I'd probably still choose Canon.
