I would be tempted by a 5D to go with the 1D tbh!..

You give me £150 for the nikon and i'll take it! ;-) They do seem to shift for around £150 -£200 though! The 5D would be a brilliant camera .... but not for sports. You would want a 1D for that tbh! 8.5fps.

wunderwaffe lol .. class gun when theres big groups of them.. takes em all down!

Does anyone play Nazi zombies for the PC? Im sick of playing with the american kids lol... Oh my highest level on the origional map is lvl 28.

The EOS 10D is a good starter camera, although you could pick up the 20D for around about £200 which is 8.2mp. I have a 300D which is the same 6.3mp as the 10D and there is a difference in quality. Until i got my 1D Mkii i have been using a 20D and it's produced some cracking photos for me!

If you need any questions answering, post them. Your not expected to know everything when you irst pick it up! I recently got a 1D Mkii and f*ck me.. the menus/buttons are alot different to my old 300D and 20D! Give one of us canon fanboys a shout :P

MPB is brilliant, I bought my 20D + Grip from there!

Funny, I've always felt the grip on a canon is alot better than a nikon.. then again i have big hands lol.

I would go for a 40D with that budget! If you dont fancy that the 500D with 28-135 IS will be a cracking kit.

better lenses cost money and the budget is £500. Hasn't the d40 been discontinued?

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5592829/Trail/searchtext%3ECANON+1000D.htm Cracking little camera, or for £499 you can get the twin lens kit. The D40/D60 doesnt have autofocus built into the camera so you are limited to what lenses you can use on them.. as my mate found out...

Yeah mine has auto focus but I have a canon!

Panasonic, cracking cameras for the price too! Will do, Might get back out later on although COD:WAW is calling atm... :rasp:

Very true, I get grief off my dad when ic omplain about getting a shot like that lol. Thing is, i would love to do wildlife photography for a living and I know a few lads that do it and the standard that employers expect is very high so i try to keep pushing.. wildlife however isnt so...

Cheers! My only niggle, and its a small one.., is that im sitting slightly higher than it so im looking down at it!

The DOF will be awesome with that, i have a 50mm f1.8 and love it, i always carry it with me.

Thats not a bad effort at all mate! Wwhat camera/lens was that taken with?

Pretty much what i thought whilst looking at it.... before i realised i should be snapping away! :o

of waiting/trying i managed to get as close as i can focus to a kingfisher. 300mm ISO - 400 f/4 1/320 My Flickr: www.flickr.com/geordieclio Only had time to rattle off a few shots before the shutter scared her off though!

Thats mine, 94 views and 25 comments.

If the 28-135 doesnt sell let me know! I may be interested.

I started off doing alot of landscapes and got really bored/tired with it.... then moved onto wildlife and i can't wait itl my next day off to get out and about because i never know what im gonna see.. unless im after a barn owl or kingfisher then i can pick my spots!

I have a set of those macro "lenses" that just screw on and the images always seem soft!

I was looking for a 28-135 for a wedding shoot because I've seen them put up for sale on TP for £40-£60! :S Might be worth looking into though as it seems they are still £270ish new.

Argos have quite a few DSLR's in and they are pretty fairly priced. They do packages too with twin lens kits, bags and memory cards.. may be worth a look in!

Canon 1D mkii (away atm :( will have it back shortly!:D) Canon 20D with BG-EN2 Grip Canon 300D 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 35-80mm f/4-5.6 Sigma 70-300 f/4-5.6 Canon 50mm f1.8 Canon 300mm f4 L No tripod just a beanbag (I only really shoot wildlife) Wired and wireless remote (for the 300D) Wired...

Send sigma a photo of it first, they may not be bale to repair it.. or at a cost effective price. I have a broken olympus 40-150 lens i can take some photos of to satisfy your curiosity? lol

I have no clue, I know its been used for wildlife previously and I've used it before i actualy bought it. I took that photo of its worst side. The lads i see have the canon 400 an 500 L and there more grey than white! This is ideal for me, i usualy use my sigma at 300 and nothing less!

Im off on holiday all week, going to haggerston castle so hopefuly should get out and about in scotland next week! =]

Tamrac bag? I reconize them straps! lol. Cracking set of photos!
