Thank you all for your posts, it looks like I will see improved AF with the 50D. The AFMA will also be a very useful upgrade (and not available on the 60D?!!). Time to splash the cash and buy the...
Hi all, I've been absent from the forum for a long time. I've been using a much abused 400D for a the last 5 years and it's on the point of dying permanently. I have the oppertunity to buy an...
So how long will the 50D continue to be available? I don't have the cash at the moment but was set on a 50D as an upgrade from my ageing 400D. I definitely want 6fps and focus micro-adjustment. At...
Hi all, I haven't posted here in ages, but finally managed to get a half decent shot of a Guillemot for you all to critique. Taken from a small rocking boat, so I only got about 10% of my shots in...
Agree with the other posters, more foreground please!
I agree 100%. I mainly use f/4 zooms and an f/4 telephoto prime. I am still amazed at the light gathering capabilities of my 50mm f/1.4 whenever the light fades and I switch over. It's like getting...
I didn't upgrade to Vista for exactly that reason.
XP works fine for me too, but Microsft are going to stop supporting it later this year[:(] So far, I'm hearing 7 is an improvement on...
Thanks everyone. I'm jumping from XP to Windows 7, I never used Vista so it's all a rather big leap!
Does anyone know if DPP, Utility and Zoombrowser are Windows 7 compatible? I've already discovered that my Photoshop Elements 6 isn't[:(] I'm planning to but a new PC soon and will probably have...
You're welcome.
Another reason to keep the lens on is African dust. If you are there during dry season you don't want to take a lens off - ever! I had red African dust appearing inthe viewfinder of my old OM10 years...
You say Macro is your favourite area, so have a think about this (and some one please correct me if my logic/understanding is flawed). In Macro work you will usualy be trying to maximise your DOF....
Just listened to the 10fps burst Bryan posted. I find that quite scary! Apart from the fact that it sounds like a machine gun, it's daunting thinking about howone press of the index finger will...
I've printed a few shots from my 10.2MP 400D up to A1 size (roughly 23 x 33 inches) and they have looked fine. Of course, this is assuming you're not squinting at them up close but standing back far...
I have the 430EX and ST-E2 but rarely use the flash off camera. It works fine though. If I was making the choice again, I'd go for the 580EX purely for the extra power. I only ever use the flash off...
It's far more exotic than the house sparrows in my garden (in Ireland). A different species where you're based?
What type of bird is that? I'm guessing a type of finch by the beak. It's colours blend really well with the surroundings.
Now that's dedication!!!

Just spent the morning making a little hatch for the hole - my other half wasn't happy with my saw work![:D]
Got this Fieldfare in the garden today. Normally very hard to get close to but I cut a hole in the side of my shed and snapped him through it! 400D + 300L f/4 + 1.4 TC. Av 6.3, Tv 1/200, ISO 200,...
This little fellow came over to check me out the other day. 400D, 300L f/4 with 1.4x T/C. Tv 1/40 Av5.6 ISO200.

And Di-II means that it can be only used with APS-C sensor cameras.
I do a lot of macro work, and recommend the 100/2.8 non-IS. It is (relatively) inexpensive, SHARP, and does almost everything...
I have had this lens for about 3 years and have had no problems at all. Its a great piece of kit, very sharp. Be aware that the IS is the older version, giving about 2 stops. You might consider...
I've had the 300 f4 L IS for over a year now and find it excellent. Even with the 1.4 TC the IQ is amazing (although AF is slower). For the price, it is great value. You asked it to be rated 1 to 10,...
Perfect as always Nate! Wonderfully sharp, excellent feather detail.
