Um, yes it will? As others have said, go for the IS II and marvel at how stunning it is :thumbs:

No problem, we all have to start somewhere and the fact you asked for thoughts/opinions publicly will go a long way :thumbs:

+1 If you don't have 'decent' glass then you might as well strike the 5D off the list... it used ALL the lens so ideally you need great (if not stunning) glass to get the best out of the camera (IMO of course) :)

Flash based sites are a big no-no IMO, slow and come with accessibility issues abound. All the gimmicky transitions and image effects get's a bit tiresome and annoying after a while too. I'd look for something that's HTML based and go from there, plenty of "template" sites out there but avoid...

Fair enough, if you're intended use is for multiple bursts then guess you'll need to be spending £100+ on each memory card!!

Amazon usually have some great offers, 8gb 60mb/s cards for ~£35 each a few months back, currently at £37.99: http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-Extreme-Compact-Flash-Cards/dp/B002NO7Q26/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1297376919&sr=8-1 Always worth keeping your eye on www.hotukdeals.com/ as any great...

Canon S95 would probably do the trick :) There is a great review of the above with the Panny LX5 (and a Nikon something or other) here: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/q42010highendcompactgroup/

My first little foray into any kind of film cameras came about due to someone selling a bundle of 5 cameras on another non-camera forum I frequent... was a pretty cheap lot and a couple need some work but am already enjoying reading up on them and hope to sort some film and take some shots soon...

Though that's an EF-S lens...

Great idea, and 4 is cracking... others a bit soft for me (4 is the only one that's sharp) but all together nice execution :)

Hu? The f1.4 is USM and far from "junky" focusing IMO... it blows the f1.8 away I regards to build quality. True, the f.18 is a stunning lens for the money and I've used mine a LOT (an awful lot!) but as my f1.4 was only £100 more than the f1.8 it was a good buy :p

What, no new 5D :lol:

Pleasantly surprised to see if on the Beeb so enjoying a bit of Jake Humphrey before he starts his proper job of F1 in a months time :thumbs:

and to think I nearly didn't go to collect it yesterday, thinking the "reservation" was safe for 3 days as indicated! Sorry to those who missed out, often the case on miss-price deals...

Until you can afford to upgrade to the 16-35L f2.8 that is ;) The 17-40L is a lovely lens and represents superb value for money, especially being an L glass so well worth buying if that's your budget.
