Thanks. I still have a lot to learn about equipment, and a lot of money to spend.

Cytoman, with this piece of advice in mind, what are you looking to upgrade by moving from a 50D to 7D? Is it 'body' features (e.g. 19-pt autofocus, HD video, weather sealing etc) or is it image...

<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 9pt;"]Wow! Great discussion but this is going to be a tougher decision than I had hoped.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"]...

Thanks for the insight. I would upgrade to the 7D for the body only. I would resell the 28-135 to help offset the total cost and to keep my savings plan up for the L 70-200mm.

Actually, I've only got one EF-S lens - the 17-55. I am still interested in the action/wildlife/bird photography. I still have plans to buy the new 70-200mm, but the 7D would set my savings plan back...

My cousin is selling his 7D with its 28-135 IS lens, 8 and 16 GB CF cards are going with it. He purchased it last December and it only has a few hundred shots. I trust him and know that he has taken...

Great shot idea. My wife is in a wheelechair and my kids are 8,7,&amp;5. We might try a few trails but will be fairly limited. We're staying an hour away and the thought of getting the kids up an hour...

Yes, I'll be bringing my 17-55. Haven't saven enough for the 10-22 yet. It will have to wait until the next trip. Thanks.

I'm taking the family to the Grand Canyon in a couple weeks. It looks like there are several places for some great shots. Any suggestions for those "high priority" sites? Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! #1 it is.[:D]

Thanks for the idea! I'll keep it in mind next time.

I like aspects of both pictures but would like to hear which one you think is best and why. Both pictures are taken with a 50D, 17-55 @ 17mm, 1/30 sec, f22, and ISO 320. Tripod used and images edited...

Thanks, Erno. You are right about the wires. I was working on it but rushed so I could get several more angles and shots. I should have taken more time with this one, it was my best out of the bunch.

Thanks for the comment. In my excitement of capturing the shot I didn't think much about the ground vs. sky proportion. As I look back I probably would have added more foreground to the shot. Never...

I shot this on the edge of the flint hills in Marion Co. Kansas. I wanted to get some good shots of grass fires but mother nature had another plan. Hence, the shot of this thunderstorm brewing in the...

The time has come for me to purchase the new EF 70-200 f/2.8 IS II. &lt;big gulp&gt; I'll also be purchasing a 1.4x extender, couple B+W filters, and a monopod. Total purchase around $3,000. I don't expect...

Despite the power lines [8o|], it is one of my favorites.


/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.37.39/Lightning3.jpgCanon XT, 18 - 55 @ 18mm, 20s, f5.6, ISO??

Those da*n power lines[8o|] I would have moved out from under the porch to take them out of the picture but I have three young kids. Suggestions as to how I can remove them digitally?

I was driving around the local lake and this guy was raiding the bird feeder. This was the last of four pictures as he made his escape.

Thanks for all the great feedback! Yes, I used a bit of sarcasm to get your attention. I just wanted to "pull out" the options and potential negative comments before I invest in this lens. &lt;sarcasm&gt;...

Interesting, I hadn't thought about that. Couple points I'll consider. I just bought my 50D this December and would have another $700 in another few months but I would likely be looking for a new...

I'm shooting with a Canon 50D and my primary lens is the 17-55 f2.8 IS. I love it but need something with a little more reach. I'll be shooting indoor and outdoor sporting events (some with low...

FANTASTIC! I love eagle shots and this one of the best I've seen! The color is great with the contrast between the green and yellow. Thanks for sharing!
