I picked up my first DSLR camera in 2,010 for a reason that might surprise a lot of you. I still have it today. It is the OG Canon 70. I bought this shortly after it was announced and it was sort of the hot new thing at the time. And by the way, I would love to know what your first camera was too and why you chose it. So maybe let me know down in the comments. This is gonna be the first time I turn this camera on in like a really long time. Ah, it turns on anyway. I bought the 70 during my time studying film making and this was right at the start of the whole DSLR video revolution. You don’t know? The Canon 5D Mark 2 and an Icon D90 were the first major D S L R s to have H D video functionality. And the whole indie filmmaking world was stoked cause suddenly you could interchange lenses and shoot more cinematic footage than what was previously possible with digital video cameras at that time. Alright, alright, let’s take a picture. Oh, that’s a chunky click. So with the 5D leading the Charge, Canon announced the 7D and this was going to be an APS C sensor that had dual video capability. I’m so used to mirrorless cameras now that are like this one. There’s no doubt about it. You know you’re taking a picture when you push the shutter cause it’s Like, oh no, no touch screen has the same overall vibe of Canon menu systems today, but it definitely feels pretty dated. It’s kind of funny to think back on. This DSLR that I bought for video purposes would eventually become the tool that I Learned still photography on. And now my career has LED me to being a full time photographer. I guess you never really know where the path is gonna lead. Alright, let’s turn it back off.
