Nice site! My only real criticism is all your photos (which are the selling point) seem really heavily (JPEG) compressed; which is a shame as I'm sure they'll all look better at quality. If bandwidth / space is a concern, you could always host them on Flickr!

Love the 'waterfall' of clouds on #2, great capture.

Love 4 & 6, good work!

Dear Trencheel, Thanks for the reply. What you say is interesting but I think sort of missing the point - because I never actually process jpg's from the camera, always RAW. Perhaps I should have made that clear in my initial post, sorry :D Front/back focus issues - are these...

Dear User Name, Thanks for the reply, do you think upgrading the firmware on the 40d will make a difference to my focuswhitebalance issues, as I have checked the changelog's and there is no mention of any changes / fixes to these aspects of the camera. Will certainly test out changes to...

- Just to add, the colours I get out of the 40d are quite a bit 'off' white-balance wise compared to the 400d. . and that's with both set to AWB. I know that shooting in RAW makes this pretty much irrelavent but its quite annoying!

Dear Talk Photography Community, I have a Canon 40d and a 400d and ever since I got my 40d (quite some time ago) I haven't been 100% happy with the sharpness of my images. "Relative to what?" - Well, relative to my 400d (an 'inferior' model), and more recently - I was able to to test shots...
