Got one but it's too similar to Scott's so I doubt I'll be entering it. Out of Place by bensambrook, on Flickr

Gonna give this a go tomorrow before work.

'Cos I'm on second year, seen the Clio parked up next to Chunders beast last week.

You on first year FND at Norton College?

I've not been into photography long and wanted to have a taste of macro so I ordered some cheapo £4.99 tubes from eBay and was pretty pleased with the results. Here's my efforts Macro Pound by bensambrook, on Flickr The DoF is tiny though and I can't change my aperture but it's got me pretty...

The tubes are cool, takes some fiddling with but get's some decent quality pictures for £4.99. Be sure to post up the results :)

These are the ones I got Adam and bully LINK

Just some cheap £4.99 ones from eBay. I can't change the f stop and have to manual focus but what do you think? :)

Got some cheap macro extension tubes today, here's one of my first shots. Pretty pleased with it and barely had to crop it :) Macro Pound by bensambrook, on Flickr

I got a 13" MBP with Applecare on student discount for just over £900. The apple care cost just over £50 I think with discount and obviously gives a 3 year repair coverage.

That would of been mine, glad you like it! Only been into photography a few weeks now :)

Another Moon by bensambrook, on Flickr

I bought from that seller and it was in the box, everything sealed and bubble wrapped.

Try a manufacture refurbished unit, I bought a 500D for £345 and have seen various 1000D (entry level) cameras go for less than £250 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Canon-EOS-1000D-18-55-IS-Refurbished-/390346548092?pt=UK_CamerasPhoto_DigitalCameras_DigitalCameras_JN&hash=item5ae277a37c Keep an eye...

Thank you, glad you like it. I was really pleased with it, not been snapping long but thoroughly enjoying it.

Over done I know but I've only had my camera 3 weeks and not tried it yet :) Water Crown by bensambrook, on Flickr

I've just got a manufacturer refurbished Canon 500D for less than £350 with a kit lens. It arrived brand new, everything packaged up. Absolute bargain as it still comes with the 1 year warranty!

Use that link that's on the first page and have a little bid, can't believe how cheap I've got it for. Nearly saving £200 off a brand new price. Can't wait for it to arrive, now I just need to save for a 50mm lens, tripod and filters haha.

Well big thanks to everyone who's helped, I won a refurbished 500d with the kit lens and 1 year warranty for £345. Needless to say I'm over the moon!

Yeah I looked into Canons' warranty and it is 12 months, and most other refurbs sellers on eBay offer a 12 month Canon warranty. So I've emailed the seller to ask why they don't offer this warranty, see what they say.

Cheers for the help so far, Symon thankyou I've just found this; http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170659363660&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Seems awesome value for money?

Been to have a look at the different models today, held them in my hand and even took a few pictures with them. Well, the 550D just felt awesome in my hand and the images I took even though they were in a shop looked great. Now to save up for one of those! Had a quick browse on Ebay, found this...

General consensus is that the 1100D isn't great then, good job I logged on here haha. Shame even a refurbished 550D is out of my budget :(

Thanks for the replies, the 550D is quite a fair bit out of budget. Didn't really want to spend more than £400 in all honesty! Steer clear of the 1100D then?
