I started into photography many years ago, more than I care to remember..:>) I have used 35mm, 2 1/4, 645 and 4" x 5" format during this time. A couple of years ago I took the suggestion of looking at digital...I started with a Nikon Coolpix4500.....I love it and graduated to a Nikon D70s last summer. I love it even more. Now I can do everything at the computer in the family room with everyone else.Since then I have move on to a Nikon D-300. Love the peace and calm of the outdoors.Living in Northern Ontario presents unique photo opportunites but I hate the long cold winters
