p.1 #1 · What Canon Gear did you GIVE this Christmas?

I gave my youngest my 30D with the 17-85mm IS (and an extra battery & 2 CF cards, of course). He was ecstatic. Now all four of my children are Canon shooters (the apple don't fall far from the tree).

S95 for my wife. Manual functions for when I want to play. Great auto functions for her.

I gave a friend one of my 20Ds a few weeks before Christmas, then for Christmas I gave him a brand new CF card to put in it.

Give him a lens next Christmas so he can start taking pictures.

Same as Robert. S95 for the wife for the exact same reasons.

This is the first small camera I've purchased and we're both quite pleased with the picture quality.

Happy Hoildays to everyone.

Same. S95 for the GF, fair exchange for track skins for my Daytona 675 ^_^

In my one day of using it...it's no 5D...or rebel for that matter...but it's pretty damn fun wide open at close range.

I was impressed with it's macro capabilities. It didn't do too badly at all.

Hi,

I shipped my FD 800mm f5.6 L down to my oldest son at Eglin AFB as something to hang a new G3 from...

Didn't give any equipment away but everyone was happy with photo albums of images I'd shot of them throughout the year.

A fool and their camera gear a soon parted. I don't know a single person I could even trust with a disposable camera let alone real camera gear. Alas my family and friends are about as interested in taking photos as I'm interested in haberdashery.

Nice! I want a full-framer soon, but I'll have to wait until next Christmas...or the next, or the next...

And again; nice!

I'm seeing a lot of posts from people who have bought an S95. I don't know much about them (or other P&S/compact cameras), but judging by the numbers it must be a good one.

Gave my son a 20D I got off the 'net for cheap. He already had a lens from my film body he's using.
