Okay, Okay, I was persuaded into buying a Canon 350d today at Jessops! I popped down to have a chat with the guys there and one of them teased me and I went and bought it. Price wasn’t too bad (although won’t be named on here).
I went for a Silver 350d body since in store (and on the Jessops website) the Silver body comes with an 18-55mm USM lens and a bag, unlike the Black body 350d which comes with a 18-55mm NON USM lens. USM is something to do with ultrasonics and makes it better (look it up on Google…)
So, along with that lens and its body, I got a 75-300mm Canon USM lens too, which is also awesome. I would have no doubts at the moment to not reconmend this deal to anyone. The lenses are plenty fast enough for what I want (motorsport, etc) and the quality of the photo’s is just great.
I’ve uploaded a handfull of photos which I’ve taken today, so see for yourself…
good decision great pix you have talent
Nice jub mate!
Many thanks. Still playing with it, and just keep finding out stuff I didn’t know before! Its an awesome piece of kit, well happy!
Very nice, if I had the money I’d get “a” digital cam, but I’m saving for a HD video cam, which is stupidly expensive. Good to see you got back alive and well, did you beat the ford transit van?
HD video cam? As in high definition? Bloody hell, that would be nice!
As for the transit, I decided against going round the circuit at any decent speed since its over 1000 Euro’s if you hit a barrier. I did however get a ride in the RingMini (see this post) in which we did the circuit in about 8:30.
Damn fast!
Then your physical self beat the transit, even if the mini didn’t.
you fail
