    If you could take ONE lens to New York...

    i'd say the 17-55 f2.8 having bought it, very good all round lens! i've got a spare 17-85 IS going cheap if anyone is interested, thought f**k it today and bought the 50d kit (can't get the body so had to buy kit but the kit was cheaper than what most people are selling the body for, just need...

    Photographic Equipment Insurance.

    not 3k's worth of camera equipment, maybe a £200 sony PAS. And having tried to claim on holiday insurance earlier this year i know that they are extremely difficult to get anything out of, they have clauses here there and everywhere to avoid paying out, they will literally do anything to not...

    Photographic Equipment Insurance.

    don't think it covers items like expensive cameras though and not when abroad, so i thought it would be best to separate it, also if i made a claim it then wouldn't make my whole household insurance go up etc.

    Photographic Equipment Insurance.

    there was no one else around, i was by myself so no embarassment. i'm sure you can see the funny side of nearly smashing your camera and 5 day old lens, i nearly pissed myself with laughter, hope it never happens to you.......... ;)

    Photographic Equipment Insurance.

    no, was a small sort of drain cover about a foot square and i was standing on the corner of it and it hadn't been set right so it went down as the other corner came up and my foot went down. Not really the point of this thread, but thanks for the interest.

    Photographic Equipment Insurance.

    i looked at photoguard but they wanted double for the same cover, over £230. the one above gives me 1m of public liability, not that i need it.

    Photographic Equipment Insurance.

    Well, after what has just happened I have been thinking about taking this out now that my camera equipment is getting quite expensive. Basically, I was trying out my new 10-22 lens and the manhole cover i was standing on collapsed down the hole as it was secured properly, my camera went flying...

    Something in the works from Canon...

    it is a good spec but the sony 900 seems like a better deal still to me, still dn't agree with this video rubbish in DSLR's.

    Something in the works from Canon...

    Phew, glad i spent a s**t load of money on EF-s lenses yesterday otherwise my bank would have been on the cusp of going under......;) Lovely camera, think i'll stick to my amateur 50d for now.

    some pics

    i have a decent rucksac with separate compartments for my laptop and the camera and lens so i'm probably going to take that, just have nothing to properly protect them individually in there as i have no lens cases except the 70-200L which comes with one. Will just see how it goes i guess, just...

    some pics

    erm, no, thats my first problem, my camera bag now no longer fits the bill, when i go to peru i'm just putting the lenses in my rucksac, won't take the 50mm i don't think, just the other three.

    some pics

    no, not joined flickr, i put all my pics on photobucket and facebook. These lenses are for my trip to peru, so the 10-22 is for the landscapes (machu piccu) and the 17-55 is to replace my 350d kit lens.

    Illegal Downloading

    no it isn't, if it had a password and you crackeds it then that would but a publically accessible website is an offer to invite, just like a shop with an open door is, theres nothing illegal about it. And also, revels comments that keeping things on vhs is illegal, that is a very old law and...

    Why do people still buy factoryfit Satnav?

    not one of those does everything my tomtom does, the first one isn't even support postcodes, they all have rubbish screens, i want to see where the road is heading, not just an arrow at the next junction, they are as bad as the manufacturers ones. And how does one of those help me when i go...

    Why do people still buy factoryfit Satnav?

    i was driving to a premier inn the other night after a long day and flight and had put the postcode in, was nearly there and it was telling me to turn left at a roundabout, i was only a few hundred metres away supposedly but over the right i could see a premier inn sign so i disobeyed it, drove...

    Why do people still buy factoryfit Satnav?

    lol, i used to use tomtom on my phone and i was in the centre of london last week having got to the address with tomtom and then i needed to get out and my phone wouldn't lock on to the satellites, I pulled over and sat there thinking, what the hell do i do now, i haven't got a clue how to get...

    Why do people still buy factoryfit Satnav?

    and your point? wouldn't say my 930T was cheap at £360! why would i need to dispose of it and get a new one in 18 months? I just update the maps.

    Why do people still buy factoryfit Satnav?

    what a ridiculous statement, i have a very good sense of direction and rarely get lost but i have a tomtom and use it regularly, it takes the stress out of missing an exit etc, it just re-routes you. It enables people to drive through london and big cities safely without worrying about road...
