Plenty around on the net matey - I sis look at the Nikon P90, but they still have issues with noisy images much like the P80. Looks like I will get her the FZ28 so far!
Misses wants to step up from her point and shoot to something with a bit more zoom and control. And no, she does not want an DSLR!
Was thinking of a Panasonic FZ28 as you can get them for just over £200. Anyone got any other suggestions?
I think its groovy! You can do what ever clip you want - we clipped a big superman style W on to will once and I rode him like it... only once though lol!
The 450D does not seem to have been out that long, buy hey ho... here comes the 500D!

Ahh, my cob gets a bit fluffy at winter... we usually hack it all off and give him the bald look, apart from fluffy legs and half face - poor bugger lol
Its a very big course - takes about 10-15 mins to ride flat out!
But the start and finish are either side of a nice spot that I can stand in - there is a few fences within zoom range, plus 2 very open runs which should see some faster moving horses (depending on there fitness!)
My friend is Secretary at the event, so I get to stand pretty much where ever I want :)
There is always a photographer there, but they always just stay at one fence and take pics - I am going to be running from one side to the other capturing various jumps and gallops. I may set the manual and...
I took loads at the show last year, but cheated and had the D40 is sports mode!!

Although the pics are pretty sharp and clear, there is no capture of movement as such. So want to try a few settings myself to get things looking better...
Right, been asked to take some cross country jumping pics at the weekend, as I am in between cameras at the moment I have borrowed my mates 450D with 55-250is lens.
Its not a fast lens, but hopefully it will be a nice bright day!
Any recomendations for shutter speed/ISO etc?
Cheers!
Use the handy hidden in a towel trick lol
Helps if you have a long zoom, if I started pointing my 18-55 in peoples faces i'm pretty sure it wouldn't go down too well!
Need a budget zoom for occasional use, so don't feel the need to spend a lot of money!
Seems this lens can be got for well under £200, anyone got one or used one?
Opinions?
