My trustworthy Canon 20D departed me to give her place to the new 40D that will be with me in a couple of days. As usual it was difficult to depart it as she has accompanied me to almost all my travels and most of the social events that I attended for 3 years. She was bought under the worst psychological omens replacing at that time my D30 (the first Canon DSLR and my first DSLR)

Always ready when the action was go

At night

In monochrome

or in full color

under hostile environments

from the high and harsh altitudes of over 4500m

to the sunny, dusty and sandy beaches of the Mediterranean

I feel sorry that she won’t go to the few places that I didn’t take her and promised that I will take next time. Sometimes I said that it was a burden to take her because of her extra weight
