Thanks so much guys, you've been a great help, I am tempted by the cheaper 685 model, is there much difference between the 2 flashes? the 685 doesn't have a usb port for firmware upgrades, which might not really be an issue

Thanks a lot for your help, apparently the 80d has a built in remote flash system, so maybe I wouldn't need the controller, and just a compatible flash? The yongnuo yn600ex-rt has very mixed reviews, seems like a bit of a miss compared to their previous cameras, does the remote flash system need...

Hi all, I have been wanting to start experimenting with flash and was just about to buy a Yongnuo 568EXii TTL flash and YN-622C-TX controller, I will only be buying one flash for now but will likely add another to my set up within the next few months. Now I thought that this is what I needed...

I went for the 80d and I received just in time for the weekend just gone. I have used it a couple of times and I am delighted with it. It is a great camera and I believe I made the right decision. It's a newer camera, newer technology and newer sensor etc. I was torn for ages and I spent more...

Thanks a lot for your reply, it's a tough decision ey? I have no particular style of photography, I mainly use it for family outings and events and natural portraits, travel, urbex, landscapes and occasional wildlife but I haven't invested in a decent lens for wildlife yet so it isn't a...

Hi everyone, I came here before asking for lens advice a while back and got some really great feedback and information (I ended up going for the Canon ef-s 17-55 f/2.8) and I think the time has come to upgrade my body, camera body that is, so I am back for more help! I currently have a 50d and...

Hi everyone, just wanted to say a massive thanks for all the advice, I have been researching endlessly this past week and your help has been much appreciated. So I have boiled down to the following 2 choices...Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM or the Canon EF-S 15-85 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM I came...

Thanks a lot Morbid, not sure if that pistonheads review has helped make it easier, haha, people are enthusiastic about each of them! I'll start doing some more investigating. That one guy at the end of the pistonheads post seems very passionate about the canon 17-55. Unfortunately I cannot see...

I just noticed this, I think the model I found on ebay was a 2007 mode without IS, I think it'd be worth going for IS. I think with IS (2010) model it is about £200 on ebay, so not much more.

Huge help, really appreciate the advice so far everyone, just had a quick look on ebay and it seems I can get the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 for about £170 and the Canon 17-55 2.8 for about £360, both used prices mind. The canon does have slightly better reviews, but then again you would expect that...

Hi all, I would love some lens advice, I currently have a canon 50d with the stock lens which is the Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM Lens I am going on holiday next month to a dream location and I have been considering buying a new lens, either in addition or to replace the kit lens. I...
