How about a TRL Flickr group? Or would that be a step to far in copying RL FANS?!?!?

Looks like Canon are set to launch a new entry level DSLR, not sure what the price in the UK is going to be, but the functionality seems to be a hybrid of the 400D and 450D with a couple of comprimises along the way.

New Canon 1000D

And you can sod off too.

Someone help find the lense for the lad, sounds like he is about to blow!

This is actually an important issue.

Are Canon suitable lens much easier and cheaper to obtain?

We seem to have found a specialist subject of half the posters on here!

I've never had a problem, so far for my 400d I've got;

- Sigma 10-20mm

- Sigma 18-55mm

- Cannon 50mm

- Cannon 75-300mm is usm.

Not sure how they compare in price, I guess a quick look on Jessops or Amazon will give you a rough idea.

Sounds like its a bone of contention amongst our Nikon friends though!

Sorry but that just made me hit the screen in rage and frustration.

I know they do a very nice 70-300 telephoto. It's that one I want. For Nikon AF there are 4 versions, 2 work with the D40x/D60 and 2 don't.

I can get the 2 that don't from any camera shop in the country.

I could get a face to face chat with Keyser Soze more easily than I can get hold of the 2 that do.

"Upgrade" to a Canon we never have a problem finding lenses that fit...........!!!

Until recently I used the software bundled with the Canon, now moved onto Adobe Lightroom and have an eye on CS3, but don't see the point in the later unless your willing to put the hard work in.

Also use photomatrix very occasionally for the odd HDR shot.

But then you can't polish a t*rd!

I've got a Cannon 400, now superseded by the 450d.

Whilst I am happy with mine, a lot of reviews I've read of the 450d whilst complimentary do point out it the range doesn't seem to have kept pace with rivals such as Sony.

That said you may be able to pick up the Cannon 40D for around your budget, which is coming down in price of late.

I found with mine that what ever you spend on the camera you better have 3 times that amount tucked away for the lenses you'll be buying over the coming months!
