Jarl Ayari Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I just parted with my XTi / 400D as it had niggly faults which were driving me nuts. Got an excellent deal on an olympus E-410 with three lenses for £200 new in the sales. Camcorder wise I have just upgraded from Hi8 to 1080 HD with a Sony HD Hard drive recorder. £199 in the sales.

HappyFeat Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 From what I have encountered so far, the XSi 450D is much improved over the XTi 400D. But I understand about the faults...I just write them off as equipment. Great deal on the Olympus however! Hope you enjoy it. Style is built from the ground up!

vector Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Well folks, I finally got my camera- a Canon XSI. The question I have is what do members on this board recommend for picture hosting (online photo album)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctic Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Well folks, I finally got my camera- a Canon XSI. The question I have is what do members on this board recommend for picture hosting (online photo album)? I have used them all, and have finally settled at share.ovi.com. Unlimited, free, superb performance, makes automatically thumbnails for use on forums etc. Flickr is not bad either but they have limits, like they show only the 200 most recent pics. What's all the fuss about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyFeat Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I just had a major score on e-Bay. For $450, I got a Canon EF 85mm 1.8 USM, a Canon 50mm EF 1.8, and a 28mm EF 2.8. I had been coveting the Canon EF 85mm 1.2 for a long time, but at well over $1,000, I really didn't think the extra 2/3 stops were really necessary. Besides, I am only using a Canon 450D Rebel XSi at the moment, which is not a full frame sensor, so these lenses will stop down enough for what I am currently doing. I hope to try them this week my next round of pictures to post. They all seem to be great lenses for the price - not perfessional quality obviously, but for the higher end amature that I am aspiring to be they will give me many new options.

Hiline Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I have a Canon D30 or is 30D ( The 8mp one) i had all Minolta gear before it stolen a while back and then got canon back in return. Its a huge shame ever since i got this really really nice Canon i just havent had the time to take it out and really see what it can do. I hope to see if i get any good results at the coming rallys and car shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vector Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Happyfeat, Congrats on the find!! I (we?) look forward to seeing some of those "masterpiece" pics you'll take! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyFeat Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Actually, in the place I have set up for pictures, none of the focal lengths work, so I am back to using my cheap zoom lens, but I am going to take them out next week for a good few days of shooting.
