New Camera Bought

Yesterday, I ordered a new Canon EOS 20D for myself from New York Cameras. I haven’t been this excited about a new toy for quite a while, and I’m really looking forward to getting my hands on it! Unfortunately, due to demand, it could be about 3 weeks before it actually arrives!

I was then in Donnybrook last Saturday afternoon to see them get one over on Munster. Saturday afternoon rugby is something [...]

A big thank you to Dervla who has pointed me towards New York Cameras on my quest to find a new camera. Their prices are good, and it’s also very nice to hear of somewhere that people you know have bought equipment and are satisfied with!
