New or second hand? Since you probably want it to be a surprise she won't get to play with them before hand. So in that case the 400D + 18-55 (IS if you can stretch) and the EF 50mm f/1.8 II would be a great start. Yes I'm Canon bias and love my wide primes to AF :D

http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=193233 Peleng 8mm fisheye ftw. Saying that its around 150..

Cloud is an arse! Think mine is more 'balloon' :o

No not at £50 less than a 40D, you'd be a fool or have midget hands

f/2.8 is slow! ;) The new kit does look like a bargain, don't expect many users though, not until lots of people buy the 450D...

http://www.camerahacker.com/Definitions/Manufacturer_Acronyms.shtml No sign of ED though, probably something to do with the elements..

Nikon 18-200 VS is probably the best, then the Sigma 18-200 OS and Tamron 18-250..

More reach, watch the back ground and try to catch the riders faces. This one stands out best IMO http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w251/Beautopia/DSC_0248.jpg but again, maybe sitting a little lower would have taken the distractions out of the back ground. I see you were at the long end for...

Thats a lot of lens/camera for the money! Right I've just had a look but only so much I can find whilst at work, be careful to check and see if the 50 f/2 is true life size 1:1 macro... I'm no macro expert, so a little confused with this lol, think its not true macro, hopefully someone...

Was 200 long enough? If your 18-200 is doing a good enough job I'd get another fun lens like the 10-20. If you need faster etc the Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM is just outside you budget if 150 is long enough. Otherwise is probably worth saving for a 70-200 f/2.8 of some sort + 1.4x TC.

ahhhh 13th is close, lucky only 1 person has actually posted an image within the rules.. EXIF removal anyone? ;)

This is where you wonder why you went olympus :rasp: Seems the 50mm F2 is the only one I can see: http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/prod552.html Going to now retract my 1st statement, F2 and macro seems like a unique combination that Canon/Nikon don't have AFAIK.. Aside from that one...

I recon these polls should go into General Chat, see what the general populus think and not just us shooters pluss loads more votes.

What are you comparing, Sigma 18-55 f/2.8 vs Tamron 17-55 f/2.8?

Wide angle + cheap + stick with Nikon = :S Look at the Sigma 10-20, not sure what is cheaper out there beside some old school russian manual focus fish eyes...

Whats wrong with the kit lens that makes you want to change it. Slow shutter speeds (small aperture), range, build quality, Auto focus, all of the above? I'd say wait personally for the new Sigma 18-125 OS HSM, its not out for probably another month but should be a killer walk around, not...

Yup good work, only posted 1 picture so going to stick with my mushroom!

Wide Long Others... http://www.flickr.com/photos/pete-eos/sets/72157604320942455/

Did some shots today, used a 10-22 + 70-200, was being lazy and the car wasn't clean so didn't do any close up/detail shots but would probably reach for a prime.. pics up in 15 mins or so..

flikr probably, you can pick what sizes you want to post them at and link to full size etc..

I heard the D50 was even better to be fair

according to a source I am unwilling to disclose makes me chuckle, oh well, if its true thats great news..

lol.

I've got myself into a mess, 20,000 odd photo files, duplicates, edited version, originals, raws, jpegs all mixed up with some in date folders! Just got lightroom, which I hate so far but looks good for adding tags to photos and good for future storage and finding images but I need to find a...

Can't see the 40D on the list but I'll give it a shot, I'm sure 'updating' to CS3 won't be that big an issue if I need to. AndyRS sorry to hear it, glad I got mine from a store should the worst happen! Clart I'd say its worth it, looking at upgrading to the LEE holder system + Hitech...

No more updates for CS2 now that CS3 is out so no patches for the 40D, oh well CS3 time or get myself Adobe DNG converter...

Just glanced http://www.dpreview.com/news/0703/07030502olympuse510.asp and it sounds pretty nifty, you got a few cool features like live view and sensor anti-shake, aside from that its like most DSLR's and works by the same principles.. see stickies...

Thanks guys, James, was using the 10-22 with a Cokin 2stop Grey Density filter.. p.s. live view is ace for tripod shooting :D

Not 100% happy with these but I'm more than happy with my new 40D! What a pleasure to shoot with, how did I cope so long with my 350D! Honest critique away, I'm not very happy with the processing, since I was shooting in RAW I've been unable to do them how I normally would. CS2 won't accept the...

Just look around youtube, there's lots on there... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORM6AZY19pw
