Excellent, thanks very much Bob :)

Hi, Can anyone tell me what the diameter of the lens hood on this one is please? A picture with dimensions would be ideal. I'm going to try and have a crack at photographing the Venus transit next week (weather permitting of course) and I need to make a custom filter holder. As I will be...

I think I'm almost sold on the S95... Thanks for the input :)

But, as i said, I'm not paying £1k for a compact to be a compliment to my dslr, and I dont want a LX3/5. So... Powershot S95 or Olympus XZ-1, Anyone???

Nope, it's between the Oly and canon, the lx5 just not doing it for me:) yeah a x100 would be nice, so would a m9 but it's a back up for when I can't be arsed lugging my 40d around, and I'm not spending more on a compact than my DSLR is worth:)

I'm getting myself tied in knots here reading review after review and not getting anywhere. I've decided one of these cameras is for me, but I'm stuck at the final hurdle of deciding... Both cameras look good, the price is about the same (roughly), the Oly is a little bigger but that's ok. It...

Exactly my too, just need to find that perfect tiny camera :)

I reckon he was aware of those risks when he took the job on. I agree with the fact that He's just trying to sue his way to a few extra beer tokens...

You can use Preview to convert RAW files

Yes, buy it! Its excellent, you wont believe the image quality. ...but save a few £££ and buy a 2nd hand one, they're built well.

:plusone: I agree, looks like they using the photos to analyse the riders technique more than anything else to me...

I have the Tamron 17-50, and wished I had bought the Canon 17-55. It's an ok lens, but the focus speed and hunting really get me down sometimes :( I hired the Canon for a wedding and it was fantastic, a little bigger and heavier(and pricier) but worth the extra in my opinion. If I could afford...

Ok, so now sell the 5D (£800ish) and the 70-200 F4 (£400ish) and get your 70-200 F2.8 IS (£1200ish). Job done. P.s. I like that you went in for a lens and got a camera you weren't even thinking about before :)

Another vote for the 40D, its a brilliant camera.

I like it, it's a bit surreal. Almost expect to see the Fat Controller along Princes St :)
