adyn - Do you have any observations?

They're nice & sharp, well composed and a change from the norm

Great photos! What lens were you using, by the way

I haven't used mifsuds, but I can heartily recommend MPB having bought several cameras from them. They give a good price when you part exchange, thoroughly check the kit they sell and respond quickly to any queries/issues you have.....check their website!

Well, I've taken the plunge - it comes with 6 months warranty so I'll see how I get on. Thanks for the comments.

Thanks tiler, I might check it out if still available when I get a few more posts under my belt!

Anybody got one? Thinking of buying one for £99 second hand which should save me around £40 on a new one (e.g. on WEX website). Any comments/suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Thanks Xjacktar - sounds tempting. Hard to decide on a lens for my sort of usage, but this looks a good bet. Appreciate your reply to the post.

Thanks for the replies I'm just considering one for studio use for photographing my 3 1/2 year old & family/friends. Won't have lots of room in my garage when I set it up & wanted some zoom ability as well rather than prime lens.

Anyone able to advise on these, eg image quality and how they compare to the 17-50 f2.8 or Sigma equivalents? Apologies if it's been asked before

Don't think you can go too far wrong with your choice of lens & a reliable seller too. Per other threads, I'm torturing myself on decisions too :) Look forward to seeing your photos Regards Steve

Like these - nice & sharp! Could I ask which lens you were using?

Cheers Keith.

They don't come much better in terms of choice, price and service than MPB Photographic!

Let us know what you decide and if you go for the 5dmk1 how you get on. Are you concerned about shutter actuations on the 5D? Sellers don't seem to be able to provide the info (eg LCE said they couldn't tell me)
