Just like turntablism, photography is one of those hobbies I'd love to try out but not want to invest in the equipment to do so.

my setup so far has me spending close to 1000cad
so its not too bad

like even the kit lens can do the banner pic + more!
its just that car photography sometimes requires a bit more such has a lighting setup for the best results
daytime, with what i have, is more than enuff

I'm just a slight "power user" as darthchilli likes to put it.

I have a Canon G9, but I use it for decent shots. It's basically a super high-end point and shoot (not factoring the sigma DP1)

D700 belongs to my dad, i don't know much about it but neither does he since its still pretty new lol
im in hk right now for vacation and my dad stays in hk, but if i have a chance to bring it to vancouver, you could play with it lol
but chances of bringing it to van is pretty slim, but i'll bring a D300 back to vancouver
