Wow Jude, thanks for the very informative post. I'm in the UK. Looking at the tracking mine should arrive in a couple of days, eagerly anticipating them! Have been away from Head-Fi for a few years but googled to see what the opinion of the Zolos were here. I backed CrazyBaby Air before and...

This is why I still haven't had mine repaired... I just have no faith in the J Diles side of livewires anymore!

Borrowing a 350d and kit lens for a week. A couple of snaps.   I find it very hard to use in modes other than Auto to be honest! I'm not happy with alot of my pictures, but I can never pin point why... The lens isn't an IS lens, and keepinng steady enough is tricky...     No...

Lovely shot James444!

I considered a K-x... I'm now thinking Canon T2i now. Arghhh, time to look at Pentax again. K-7 is out of my budget though - T2i is pushing it! :(

Oh I couldn't find it when I last looked    Thank you!   Keep an eye over there please folks, I will ask my questions in a thread over there from now on.

(Excuse the rubbish pictures, just so easy to snap on the E71 and email straight through to my Photobucket account from the phone )     Brilliant album IMO!       64gb Jailbroken iPod Touch & FiiO L3 LOD, FiiO E7, and Earpeace Livewires T1.   Shame my Livewires have...

Lovely pictures people... That panorama is stunning! Well done    Yeah, I think the kit lens, and a 50mm prime will start me off well, with a 18 or 25mm soon after, and a something-200, and something-300 in the future (or just a very fast good 300?).   What lens do you guys think would...

Thankyou for the information. That is a gorgeous picture!   One thing I have noticed is camera equipment holds its price very well... I just looked at the 7D, and while it's a £1000 body here new, I can't find a used one under £900... Unlike iPod's and computer stuff, where you can normally...

I hadn't considered that, but after some reading, I now understand that a 50mm on a non-full frame camera won't actually give me 50mm, but a 28mm or 30mm will be much closer...   A 50mm prime on a non-full frame would be actually about 85mm right? - so less wide angle?   Would the kit...

I think i'm going to start with a Canon EOS 500d and the kit lens with AF and IS, which will probably get the most use?   The 500d does HD video, a novelty, but may get some use, and the camera seems to be very good in low light and at high ISO settings too... I just figure I can't go wrong...

Why is there such a huge price difference between f/1.4 and f/1.8 50mm prime AF lenses?   Is there a huge difference in ability and image quality brought by that small difference?

Canon 500d here I come, at long last!
