I have been a photographer virtually all my life and shot my first paying job when I was 15. It was a wedding on Fort DeRussy Military Reservation of a guy back from Vietnam on R&R and his girlfriend came to visit him. There were dressed in Hawaiian gear, and I shot 24 pictures and handed the film to her to get processed back home.

I carried a Hasslebad system to high school as well as my 35mm system.

We bought a used Canon EOS-1D X Mark III DSLR to shoot the oblique aerial photos a few years ago. That is some heavy iron and takes fantastic pictures. At the same time I ended up with a Canon Rebel EOS SL1 for basicly nothing. It has just over 200,000 shutter actuations on it. I carry it to car shows, and almost never use it. I did set it up for my brother to shoot me going past the marker in Key West. I set it up in rapid fire mode, and told him to fire away. I sorted through the images to find the perfect shot.

So 200K exposures is a lot, but it still runs fine.

I have a iPhone 11 Pro, that does amazing photos. That is always with me, and what I use for most photos now.
