    I wouldn't be so presumptuous as to start a new thread just about myself, especially when I don't have anything to share yet, but it is nice to be welcomed, and to say hello, so, hi there! Have been a rather infrequent visitor at Pentax forums, but jumped at the chance for a Canon one :) I don't use the poor camera as often as I should, so hoping that this will spur me now!

    Hello. I have a couple of Canon ultra compacts (700 series), a Compact 10x zoom IS 110, and a very old 6mp D60 DSLR. Have 4 or 5 Canon EOS lenses. Need a new body.
    Thanks

    everybody should post a reply on this thread instead making new thread all over subforum :)

    btw, got here from pentaxforum.. just a silent reader there.. and maybe here too :p . I had used canon 100D as a backup for my Fuji, most of the time i used manual lenses like pentax-M or Takumar family. it is nice to joint a new forum...

    regards from Japan

    So pleased to get the email today saying that canonforums is starting up. I've been quite frequent "trolling" through pentaxforums (a wealth of good info on there). I could not really post up my shots or such as i don't have a pentax cam. So this is most welcoming :) Thanks Phil & whosoever else is involved !! Very happy here.
    Ps. Would this forum also try to cover the old manual focus lenses or adapt the same database over from PF ?

    Thanks for all the support everyone! Also it is in the longterm plan to add some similar features here. In the case of the lens database, that is not a simple "copy & paste" since we are using different platforms. It would have to be developed mostly from scratch! Stay tuned.

    Hello (Canon) world!

    The PowerShot S100 P&S is a trusty backup / travel companion. Love the manual controls. It's currently on loan to my brother-in-law who will surely lose it on his Euro trip :)

    Hi Phil. Hi everyone.;)
    I have been a Pentax user for many years, both film and digital.
    I joined the Pentax Forum some time ago but unfortunately haven't been able to spend as much time there as I would wish to.
    Recently I picked up a Canon EOS 300D at a junk sale thinking to sell it on, but during the testing out I found I quite liked the camera.
    Yes it's aged with low pixel and uses compact flash but the images impressed me. So it stayed with me and gets used quite often.
    Now I have picked up an EOS 600D that I am having serviced and repaired and can't wait to get it into action.

    So when the email popped into my inbox yesterday inviting me to join the new Canon Forum, well, I knew things were starting to look up again. I didn't have the time to sign up there and then but today I do, so here I am.:)

    Looking forward to many happy and informative visits and making new friends.
    From Armadale, Western Australia. Cheers.
    Howz.

    Hello from Baltimore!

    When I was a beginner, the Pentax Forums were a wonderful help to me with such a great community. Probably the most welcoming and kind forum I ever participated in. I had joined in 2010.

    When I upgraded from entry-level gear (K-x) to pro gear in 2015, I made the switch to Canon by purchasing a 7D Mk II for shooting equestrian sports. I also focus on food photography. I recently acquired a 5D Mk III and want to get more into portraiture since it is a great way to get extra jobs, but I'm working on my confidence with that and need to learn more posing. As an introvert, I am definitely more comfortable shooting horses and food versus people, haha.

    Also, I primarily make my living with web design and development. I need to get out there more with my photography services.

    Cheers,
    Cass
