Thanks
yes it does feel like the deep end especially when I look at the final cost. Good point with the mem cards and maybe a couple of the 16Gb would be better. I went with the 430 as I was hoping not to use it too often, but a couple of posts have now said 580 over the 430 so maybe I should relook at it (I don't think the cost difference was great).
I was hoping that with mainly f2.8 lens and mainly outdoors that I could get away without a flash for the majority and again indoors with a f1.4 prim I can still click away in lower lighting
What pictures would I take:- Landscape & Outdoors, I spend a month or so a year in Switzerland walking in the Alps - the scenery is stunning, I travel around Europe and like to capture what I see - so much history - So not having to carry bags and bags of equipment is important.
I don't intend taking serious portraits/weddings etc but I do like to capture real world living - mainly traveling or at home with friends and family. So again having a limited number of lenses that have a wide usage was my aim.
I'm not a sports fan but I do want to capture the kids in action and when we go sailing - there's always plenty to see.
I don't intend making a living from this and I don't want to setup a studio but I would like to capture the best pictures I can - taking into consideration my abilities
