Well i have just got back from collecting my 40d. Ended up with the 17-85 IS USM kit.

He did not get stung on the way back to the uk, so it has cost me £850 all in.

Test shots to follow. :D
 
Lucky bugger! :p

£850 is more than I thought it would be though. Think you can get that kit for £999 from UK with full guarantee I guess - still £150 off! not to be missed :D
 
had a foot in both camps for a little while, but got lured by the cheap wide angle / macros lenses of the Canon system, so the E-510 had to go.

Will still pimp Oly whenever possible though as its a great system for someone who is happy to stay with the kit lenses.
 
Exxcceellent

Looking forward to the pics of it now :D And some test shots / review.
 
The only pic i have till i get home and 'crack-it-open'

oh yeah, as you can see i also got the 150mm Sigma macro as well as it was such a good price :D
 
my father-in-law picked up one today too. I'm going to try an get a go as soon as I can;)
 
No samples yet, but boy is the viewfinder big, and bright. A big difference from the Oly i had (And i thought that was good!)
 
Just a couple of next doors cat sat on our fence. The Sigma Macro is superb.

Just need to get some more practice in now :D

Is your mother-in-law around, by any chance? ;)

Good camera, good lens, good hands.
I'd say it makes a a good combo :D

Any more samples with crops coming, even if they were tomorrow?
Or maybe a moon photo?

more samples probably tomorrow (With crops) from 50mm 1.8, Kit lens and macro
 
I bet your sitting there holding it, looking through the viewfinder fiddling with options and wishing you had phoned up sick for work and taken photos all day long.

Not that I do that sort of thing,... ;)

King.

whats the live view mode like???

very similar and just as convoluted as the olympus version. :LOL:

to make live view workable i think they need to implement a contrast AF mode, then they needn't keep moving the mirror to achieve focus lock.
 
Thanks, Chilimonster, did you find out where it came from-ie the actual shop? Sorry I missed the change of thread.
