I know cars an only stand up to so much but he was lucky to have got out of that one by the look of it. 4 star NCAP too.

Nice use of flash!

I know that the local electronic shop sells them, but all they do is charge you 50 quid extra for entering the code that you can find with google. I'd work out which UK model you want, do a quick check online to find the code and the do it yourself.

I'd be tempted to go for the 500D with kit lens and a 50mm f1.8 on the side, rather than just the 550D with kit lens. Unless you are really into video, I don't think that the other features will really help your images that much.

You're right. There is always something bigger, better and faster around the corner. I'll be happy with my 5DII for a while though. It even beats the 1DIV in terms of image quality up to about 3200 ISO. The 1DIV gets perfectly usable images up to 12800 with minimal in camera noise reduction...

I use them whenever my kids are about, or if I am in crowds for protection, and for studio work to reduce flair. In fact, I pretty much use the hoods all the time. I don't have one on my 50mm and the 24-70 I am borrowing didn't come with one, which does not seem to have had a detrimental...

Absolutely. They do exactly the same. The hoods have also saved the glass on my lenses from a knock a couple of times so they offer added protection too.

It helps reduce flares from sun/ strobes/ lights etc.... and makes your lens look bigger.

Or just go future proof... it'll save you upgrading later. [/whoring] ;)

Awesome set! The media access must be fun to have at events like this!

The 350D is a great camera. It's weakness is performance at high ISO, but that is similar to most models from that generation.

The salesman is talking complete and utter shite. The 550 is the better camera though.

The Canon or Sigma?

View them with Windows picture viewer. Edit with GIMP if you want something free.

Looking good. I am borrowing the canon equivalent this weekend and am curious to see how it goes.

I like these. Not 100% on the wheels though. I always wondered, is it possible to put seats in the back if you ever needed to?

Can you browse through the files with a windows explorer folder? Then you can just copy them over. I vaguely remeber having a similar problem with my old 40D but can't remeber how I fixed it. Can you try using Zoombrowser to copy the photos instead of camera window? If all else fails, go to...

It is probably set at 72 dpi and you will need 250-300 in order to get a clean print.

Pics?... oh wait. I've said it before, but I love your work.

100-400? You are right on the mortgage. I am picking up a 1DMkIV tomorrow and have a feeling that I won't want to give it back when I am done with it. There is no way I am dropping that much cash on a body though! At least glass keeps it value well.

Would have a clio in the twisties IIRC.

Good first camera. Now go out and take some snaps. :)

Saw these come past on Flickr. Love the San Francisco house shot.

Hunchback edition.

It depends on whether you are fussed about the colour rendition or not. Most of the cheap LCDs are TN panels which do not have a full colour depth as they only offer 6 bits per RGB channel so you will never get the 16.7 million colours from a 24bit true colour panel. The colours also change as...

I was going to say... I got upgraded to 120MB/s the other day and hauled in 18GB in no time. 10GB a month would not be thinkable for me.

PM sent. Thanks very much.

Awesome! Thanks for that. It needs higher res images by the look of it.
