Crumby’s Semi-Crazy Camera Talk

Take it from me, Crumby Ovate. If you need to do nature photography, Canon is the Japanese camera brand for you. And the best place to start learning about Canon nature photography is dpreview.com, at the Canon dslr lens talk forum. There are other forums on dpreview, but for nature photography, don’t waste your time and money anywhere else. Start there!

Do as I say, not as I did. Mercy! I wish I had followed this advice. But this advice was not available in those days when Crumby started out as a neophyte nature photographer. Nobody said. Crumby, look here or there. Nope!

OK. Here’s some excellent reasons why an average naturalist wishing to take nature photos should start with Canon. First, there’s the unique MP-65 1x5 macro lens. Properly lit, the tiniest of subjects may be photographed with this lens. Second, Canon has lots more macro lens options covering virtually any contingency. Third, the 400mm, 5.6 is a good option for far away. Then too, Canon has plenty more telephoto options, only more expensive.

So Crumby sadly wishes he had started out with Canon. Boo-hoo-hoo. And now, because Crumby’s teeth have decided to give out, he can’t buy into Canon. No. Instead, Crumby has to turn over his life savings to the dentists. Yes. The dentist’s kids won’t have to work. They will enjoy trust funds. Yes. Those little dentist’s snot noses will have all Crumby’s savings. And Crumby, if he’s lucky, may get to gum some oatmeal.

Uh. Crumby wishes Canon would give him some money for this extemporaneous review of some of the Canon products.
