Yes I was following a couple on eBay and one went for 720, absolutely crazy!!

I am looking for a Sigma 150-600 and was browsing on the MBP website they have one at, I think, £739 which appears at face value to not much less than a new one? I emailed them the question and it has now been 'sold'? All a bit odd!

Hi all, Couple of freebies for those new to photography, in the 'freebie' section!!

Used to do lots of gigs, generally first three songs so its a percentage game to get maybe 6 good shots.... I generally used shutter priority and let the camera sort the rest. Position is really important, ideal 45 degrees to the side of who ever and with guitarists usually looks better if its...

Interesting replies, I live in semi rural Norfolk and my tally is still about 60/40 in favour of men being more polite... I do agree that generally women are less aggressive drivers but thats another subject!

Hi, thanks for the responses! Couldn't figure why it wasn't on the camera menu! However when I set high speed synch on my 580 ex and say 1/1000 sec on camera it still defaults to 1/200? Am I doing something wrong? Also is it possible to use second curtain synch and high speed at the same time...

I understand Canon have not included this option unless you have a 580 Ex2 on the camera?! What happens if you want to uses triggers, I don't have pocket wizards!

Mine cost 1450 I think, the cheapest I can see on Camerapricebuster is 2140!

No, mine came from Hong Kong but as Nog says they have an excellent record and give a three year warranty. Any repairs are done in uk by usual Canon dealers. My 5D2 was a grey import from Kerso some years ago and I needed a repair, [not under warranty] and Sent it to the Canon repair place at...

Arrived today from Meike via Amazon. Very impressed at first sight! Nice grippy finish and all the buttons and display works.

Oops yes! Most impressed.
