ANY slr will take decent night pics, you just need a tripod!

I bought the battery grip for my 400d and the handling feel is so much better with it attached - also the extra buttons it gives you (ie, a 2nd trigger button for portrait mode and control wheel) are so handy and make the body so much more flexible. Panning shots are easier too.

Punching well above your weight! Anyone here?

Lowepro packs are goos, I have one myself... Loads of them here; http://www.jessops.com/Store/c353/1-132-134-353/Home/Accessories/Bags--and--Cases/Backpacks/details.aspx from about £30 upwards. Its worth getting a good one if you are taking it places. I put mine on my back when I'm skiing...

It has a rear mount filter thread, meaning you can put a filter between the rear of the lens and the body.

Great shots! Only critisism is that shot 7 (motorway) the ISO is set too high giving the picture a fair bit of noise (esp in the dark sections). If its on a tripod you can go to the lowest ISO!

Unless you want to take pictures of anything moving (such as trackside stuff), they are pretty hopeless... But just for static shots of the Clio and just general stuff its a very good camera. You can get a 2nd hand basic DSLR for just over £200 if you look carefully enough...

^ yeah my bad! Dont know why I thought the 2 had a sunroof, always thought it had for some reason!

Maybe, but once you replace them the parts should last just as long!!! As I said, find a good one and you'll be fine, as with any car really! As for the op's question about the differences; Williams 1 - the proper rally homologation. Hense no sunroof! Numbered plaque on dash which makes it...

Nah not at all. I've used mine as my daily driver for the past 4 years, never had any problems really apart from the need to replace the clutch, but it had been on the original clutch for 13 years so it was about time!!! They are no more unreliable than any car of its age, get a good, well...

r****d????? Thanks buddy. I choose not to use a flash in low light level shooting conditions as it can make things look a bit fake and set up, but horses for courses, depends on what you are shooting and what you are trying to achieve. I find you can achieve much more acomplished and...

One word. Tripod. ...oh, and another three words. Long. Shutter. Speed. Dont use a flash, that'll ruin the natural light which is what you want to capture!

Brilliant lens, I've got one and its utterly supurb. Image stabilisation is spot on and produces crystal images. Very good for motorsport etc. Mates GT3 taken on the autobahn (at speed!!) from another moving car (low res version and re sized of course); Lambo on the 'Ring (catch fencing...

Is it me, or is the spec not that much different to the 400 / 450D???? In fact, its lower spec?! I thought the higher the model number on Canons (apart from the professional cams) the higher the spec?

The new Canon 55 - 250 f/4 IS lens is supurb. Shop around for it online and you can get some cracking deals. Awesome lens, esp for motorsport etc. Edit - just re read your post - I see you want a walk lens!
