Photography and the Canon 50D

After agonizing over which DSLR might be right for me, I recently settled on the Canon 50D. I have to say, I have no regrets.

I’m by all accounts a novice photographer, but I enjoy photography and I think that’s what really matters. If you know what you like, you’ll know what results you want and you’ll do your best to get them. Also, I think I’m starting to get the hang of having more control over what my gear can actually do:

What kind of gear do you use? Are you a point-and-shoot kind of person, or do you work with professional/prosumer cameras entirely?
