I really have most of what I need for the types of shooting I regularly do. In fact I have most of it in both Canon and Sony. At this point I don’t “need” anything, but that doesn’t mean I still don’t keep an eye on what is coming out that might make it easier to do the photography that I like.

Depending on what you do and if you get paid for it there are a number of camera combinations that people think of as apropos for that genre. For amateur/enthusiast nature photographers it is often the medium resolution but reasonably fast midrange camera and a 100-400 lens.

Olympus has been teasing a new camera for weeks now that could very well be a fantastic nature photography tool, but I don’t think that was the most important announcement for nature photographers.

After getting a great chance to shoot the solar eclipse a couple years ago, I’ve been itching to point the cameras back up in the sky. I did a good bit of research into the shoot and thought I was pretty well prepared….

I started with a little point and shoot canon and quickly got hooked on taking shots and on how to improve the shots that didn’t look as good as I wanted. I started, and continue today, to use Canon cameras….point and shoot, then Rebel, moving up with my skills and as my budget allowed.
