Shame that I’m not going this year, I would have been up for a chat. CSS 2014 it’ll be then :p

Thanks :) Haha, what camera did you have in mind? or what sort?

There are plenty of fool proof cameras out there, but wireless, hmm. You can get ones that you can link up to your phone and put photos directly onto your phone etc but I’m not sure about uploading them directly unless it’s one of those Samsung Android compact cameras.

Haha, my disposable 5D Mark II :p

Thanks :)

I just look in the classifieds on TP, and I also look at prices on ebay.

The lenses are more expensive, but second hand there are some bargains to be had, such as the 70-200 F4L which can go for reasonable prices, I'm planning on one as my next lens :)

So tonight - or looking at the time - last night I went to Liverpool to give the new camera a proper test, so I thought I’d post up the results :) Liverpool by Niall97, on Flickr Liverpool Wheel by Niall97, on Flickr After a long day... by Niall97, on Flickr Albert Dock Waterfront by...

A possible one, hopefully I can get out and get something better before the closing date- Nightime Street by Niall97, on Flickr

^That’s awesome!

If you’ve ruled the D600 out then you don’t have much choice new :p How about a second hand D700? Same sensor as your D3.

I know that Scott has the D600 now, so if he sees this he can shed some light on it. From the reviews it’s looks fantastic.

A few from over the weekend, they’re just from around town so nothing special, hopefully I’ll go somewhere a bit better next weekend :) Urban by Niall97, on Flickr Urban by Niall97, on Flickr Nighttime light by Niall97, on Flickr BG 182 by Niall97, on Flickr

The Quatro and the 6R4, WOW.

IMO a step up in your body can give you room to improve and it can inspire you to go out and shoot, I can't begin to tell you how much nicer it was to shoot with my D7000 after my D5100.

What sigma lens? :)

Nope, not one bit. The images are stunning no matter what the subject, the grip is big and moulded to the hand, it just feels really nice in the hand being a pro body. So all in all it's brilliant, I'm loving the HUGE viewfinder too, it makes framing a shot a dream.

A couple of quick ones with the new camera- Nightime Street by Niall97, on Flickr Socialize by Niall97, on Flickr

I got the Sigma 50mm F1.4 for my 5D2 today, it’s an absolutely awesome combo, nice and sharp, quick to focus and really smooth bokeh. Canon 5D Mark II test cat by Niall97, on Flickr

Apparently the autofocus on the X100s is enough by itself to justify the price it's that much of an improvement. Lots of people rate both very highly though :)

As I said above, as long as you can justify your shot then it's a valid interpretation of the theme :)

Ooft, F1.2. I’d absolutely love a 50 F1.2L for the 5D but obviously it’s way, way out of my price range.

Sigma are bringing some lenses out for CSC’s but none for Fuji as of yet, if they do make some for the fuji X mount then that’ll expand your choices.

You might as well just get the mk1, just as an accompaniment for your 7D :) I'll post some pics on here sometime over the weekend from when the lens comes.

No, Piers. It's a fixed lens, you can't detach it.

Yeah, it’s perfect for my type of photography. Extreme sports or the pro that absolutely needs those crucial shots then maybe you’d want to look at something better, but in general it’s fine :) I love the images compared to APS-C cameras in my experience, the files it produces just look special...

James uses his for motorsport and it’s fine, the AF on the 5D2 is easily a match for my D7000 in practise, I think people who are used to ultra-fast pro action orientated cameras lose some perspective in camera reviews etc, the 5D2’s AF is made out to be a lot worse than it is.

Haha don’t worry, it’ll probably stay on the camera all day :p

That'd be great, James! Cheers. I'll speak to you on Facebook nearer the time :)
