Cameras

• Olympus FE170,X760 (2007-2008; my first camera, it ended up broken)
• Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ38 (2010-2014; versatile and reasonable quality camera, given to my ex; she gave it back to me in 2021 and I'm still occasionally using it in 2023)
• Canon EOS 30D (2013; first DSLR, bought second-hand, a few things broken, sold shortly after buying)
• Canon EOS 700D (Mar 2015 - Jan 2017; pretty good but I sold it, I was hiking and moving around a lot in that time and that thing was just too heavy to carry around)
• Sony α6000 (since Jan 2017; great for travelling, quality vs weight is excellent, sold in January 2019 - I'm a big boy, I can carry Canon 6D)
• Canon 6D (since May 2018; my first FF, great for my needs but more megapixels would be good)
• Sony RX100 IV (since 2019; my favourite camera for going hiking - drowned in 2022 during storm in Port Hills)
• Pixel 4 (since March 2023; I got a kid now which means two things: 1) no money for a new rx100 and 2) my full frame is way too heavy when I need to carry the kid)

Lenses

• Canon EF-S 17–85mm
• Canon EF-S 18–135mm (Mar 2015 - Jan 2017; bought with Canon 700D)
• Sony E PZ 16-50mm f4 (since Jan 2017; not bad but still a basic lens, sold in January 2019)
• Canon EF 16–35mm lens f/4L IS USM (since May 2018; excellent wide lens)
• Canon EF 70–200mm f/4L IS USM (since July 2018; good long lens)
• Canon EF 24–70mm lens f/4L IS USM (since January 2019; the sharpest lens I've ever had)

Equipment

• Hoya 67mm Digital Slim CPL (Mar 2015 - Dec 2016; cracked at Mt Taranaki)
• Tripod Hanimex Professional Tripod Model 3D (since June 2018; bought for 10 dollars in a charity shop in Canada; super heavy but it does what I need it to do)

Software

• GIMP (2010-2015; probably the best free Photoshop-like software you can get)
• Adobe Lightroom (since 2016; best thing on the planet for editing photos)
• Adobe Photoshop (since May 2018; I started to understand that even Lightroom has its limitations and for some specialized stuff Photoshop is invaluable)
• PTGui (since July 2018; great for HQ panoramas)
