My first digital SLR and easily on par with the fantastic Minolta 7 when it came to build and user interface, and an amazing camera at the time, but not quite able to keep u

I buy the Nikon D300s body as a replacement for the D200, which has shot close to 40,000 frames in 2012. I also get the vertical grip for the camera, and keep that mounted almost all the time.

My first ever Nikon body, and a workhorse in the true meaning of the word. Robust, great to use, a real performer and an excellent image quality.

I bought this little gem used in Germany for very little money.

A much slicker, better designed and faster camera than the landmark 7000. A camera I really enjoy using and shoot a ton of pictures with.

My first camera with autofocus and a winder!

I buy this body as a replacement for my second XM, which brakes down with a shutter error.

A true flagship body from Minolta built to the highest specs and easily able to compete with Canon's F-1 and Nikon's F2, which were the pro's cameras of choice in that period.

My first ever SLR body, which I "inherited" from my dad... I simply took possesion of it when he and my mother divorced and he moved out.
