I just sold my Dad's one on eBay for £220. They are cheap as chips these days. I might sell my one too. I want the 400D. Of course, a newer model with more features will be out next year ...
Stardust is quite a family film, but has something for everyone. The jokes/humor isn't dumbed down like a lot of American comedies. I also thought the FX helped the film rather than overpowering it, which is sadly the case with most Hollywood block busters
My hands realy shake! I've noticed that when I'm using my lenses with I.S. I can still see the image moving, so the I.S. can't quite cope with my hands shaking :-(((((
I will look back at the Halloween pics though. I at least have a decent pic of Kieran :-)
The answer to the lens problem is to buy them second-hand. There are loads of Canon EF lenses around, and if you're feeling indulgent with care you can buy a used "L" for around the price of a new cooking EF lens. None of my lenses were bought new; the 85mm f1.2L at £600 is my most expensive eBay purchase to date!
Was a *very* good deal. I don't know where to look for lenses other than eBay and FredMiranda. eBay is too expensive second hand and buying from the states means paying lots of VAT and import duties :-(
I'd like a 70-200 I.S. (I have a Sigma 70-200, which is excellent, but I.S. would help a tonne), but they are rare on eBay and about $1400 from the states (I need to figure out how to get it here without paying TAX)
My 70-200 LIS was, I think, around £900 from LCE in the Strand. There are some bargains out there, but you've got to be very patient. I keep track of things on eBay and occasionally something goes for less than the others around it. Just the way that auctions work. But yes, the sinking dollar makes a shopping trip to the US very attractive! ;-)
The US definately has better prices new and used. If I ever make a trip out there again, I'll also make it a shopping trip :-)
Camera lust, it's a bad thing. Although, maybe in a year when I've got the career thing sorted out a lil', then maybe I can afford that 70-200 I.S. I'd like one of those 1Ds mkIII's too ...wouldn't we all ;-)
