I don’t know what happen but as what the canon people said, they changed the main board of my camera and I’m happy because of my reconciliation to my “Baby 50D” after the long wait. Thanks God, its under warranty!

Anyway, did I mention to you that I’m one of the loyal Canon users from the Philippines? Maybe I’m too young for you and too early to be told, but this is what I feel. I’m not a brand type guys but if I can feel something about what I want and what I like, I spill it out.

I like Nikon because of “Commander Mode” period.

To tell you the truth, I’m kind of disappointed right now because I can’t make any upgrades until I get my wish list lens. Don’t ask me why coz’ after the 5D Mark II, here’s the 7D from Canon’s X0D series. Ouch!

Finally, A few of our Reasons to Smile is because as experts in Digital Imaging, no one captures smiles quite like Canon. That’s because they’ve captured quite a few smiles of our own.
