The first camera I bought when digital was getting popular was the Canon 300D. I'm sure Canon sold many thousands of these because it was the first digital SLR camera you could buy under a $1000/€1000 (depending on where you live). The last Canon camera I bought was the FF 5D (the original). It was and is a great camera. Nowadays I prefer using an evf with live view where I can control the exposure much better than just using an ovf. My Canon system has been sitting on the shelf now for quite a few months and I don't even have a wish to use it anymore. That is why I've sold off most of my Canon system and the rest is going on ebay pretty soon. I am certain I will never use it again. I don't do any sport photography so AFC is not very important to me. Most of my subjects don't move or move very slowly.
