Got my rents this, face recognition is kind of cool, macro ability is insane, beats most my DSLR gear for close ups.
Flash off it seems very good, yet to view any images on a PC though. Sadly the flash lets it down in auto, my 4 year old Sony digital still beats it hands down. Saying that the...
I'm not sure I'd want to be tied into the Sigma system personally. Saying that I'm not so clued up on it.
Been watching refurbed 350D's going at under 200 today.

Unless its a very expensive model its probably a right off.
Friend dropped my camera traveling and the repair cost to the lens was nearly that of the camera (220). He then got quoted for his to be fixed recently and was 170.
Outside chance that a screen might be cheaper to repair than a lens?!
What do you want to take pictures of? Need zoom? need it small?
Just bought my rents an Ixus 75 for x-mass, looks very cool massive screen and compact camera but yet to play, has face recognition and lots of cool little features like colour selection.
£160 with 2GB memory and a small case..
hmmmm Flashgun or Sigma 30 f/1.4, grew out of my 50mm f/1.8 and now use the Canon 28 f/1.8 (gives a nice 50mm field of view) and hear the Sigma is very good a plus the Nikon 28 f/1.4 is err pricey!
hmmm I used to have some software on mine that allowed you to open files loaded onto the memory card but you err needed to install it first so errr find a cable! :P
Just picked up a 75 for my rents for Crimbo, being a little paranoid about a zippy noise when it shuts, normal? To used to my DSLR...
Sounds like...

thanks!
You won't find eBay tat on there though, most UK retailers will just have the genuine Canon TC's and adapters.
Is 210mm not long enough, you'd probably be better just cropping/digital zooming for more reach than using eBay gear. Save some money and don't bother with the UV filter as well, a...
For overcast landscape I'd use longer exposures, specially if your around the sea but requires a decent tripod. Theres always graduated neutral density filters but thats fiddly and takes some time to learn..
I'd pick up a flash, fast prime or portable tripod...
my nokia n73 had a carl zeiss lens, it was s**t :rasp: (i love generalising init)
as Clart says, its the user, put lewis hamilton in a reasonably priced car and he'll own you, same goes for shooting...
this is like CTR vs 172...
If you plan to shoot wide primes and want AF, the Canon hands down, it also has a bigger viewfinder (as far as I know) but I'm probably wrong on this, there both small!
flip a coin or something, can't be arsed with fanboyism today :p
p.s. canon ftw etc...
Yes it should be fine but there not universal in quality, wouldn't put a 400D on that.... let my mate borrow my plastic jessops tripod and he face planted his Nikon D50 lol
The new 18-55 IS is 85quid from Hong Kong and covers all your needs ;)

My bad, thought those were your pictures at the start! Get an EXIF reader and look at the image data!
So yeah, Tripod essential. Use aperture priority and meter for the cars, they look very dark in those pictures. Shoot in M ideally and adjust. Use RAW as well if possible, street lights leave...
Amen, using it properly and good post processing with have a greater impact than a few mega pixels could ever have. He has a fantastic gallery.
Saying that, I want his 5D + 17-40 :D
Laingo you working/training as a shooter or just a hobby?
