We don't have squirrels in Oz, will a possum or koala do? Both pretty tricky, possums are shy and hard to spot and koalas are boring and lazy and just sleep up trees.

I was in the same position with my 450D but I was lucky enough to borrow an L series lens to try out. I got some beautiful shots with my lowly 450D and was convinced I needed to upgrade my lens...

Hi thefonz, I didn't trust the "Creditbusiness" mob in HK. Sorry you'll have to take that chance yourself.:) I have chosen and ordered the 60d from an Aussie seller. Still imports from HK but deals...

There are a number of Ebay sellers who operate out of Australia that buy the goods from China/Hong Kong. I think that'll get around the " purchased new and unused" problem. Not sure about the second...

Hi thefonz, thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't been as far as the payment options because I'm not likely to be using that particular site. As I said to Nick_Gray this is one that would have to be...

Hi Nick, thanks for that. I only added the web site at the bottom as a "for example" this is one that is too good to be true. There are still quite a few others in Chine/Honk Kong that do accept...

It's very encouraging, I just checked on ebay and our" lowly" cameras are fetching good prices. They are great cameras to get you started and they hold their value much better than the compacts. I...

Who do you trust?

I'm slowly approaching the time when I can upgrade from my trusty Canon 450d. It's given me a good start but I'm now ready for the big step up to something better. I'm torn between the 60d and the 7d...

Great video, I've done a bit of editing in Lightroom with mixed success, it was good to see how someone else with more experience uses it. It'd be even better if you'd added a voice over. Can you do...

Thanks again rbarry, I can see where you're coming from now. My thinking was that by opening the aperture as wide as possible, I would achieve the faster shutter speed anyway and also blur out any...

Thanks Chris, it's a cracking day so I'm heading off out to practice and experiment. I'm confident my shots will be much improved thanks to yours and Cathus's advice.
Cheers.

Great shots indeed but if I had your camera I don't think I'd be using an Iphone, even though the specs on them these days certainly give you a great quality image.
Cheers.

Thanks I'll try all that in the morning, it's getting a bit late now. If I can get my shots half as good as your aircraft shots I'll be very happy! And your Iphone shots are pretty damned good too!...

So........ If the light is good, there's nothing to be gained by under exposing and upping the ISO. The shutter speed will be quicker but it won't necessarily be a better shot. I struggle with camera...

Thanks Cathus, I wish I'd asked the question earlier. I'd taken it as good advice and was underexposing all my shots just to get the sharper image. I hadn't realised the quality would suffer, thought...

Well thanks Cathus, Dan and Donoreo, that clears that up. So is that actually what I've heard described as "the nifty fifty" or is that the F1.4? I've heard good reports about it.
Thanks again....
