Gday Ricey,

I had to pull out a the last moment unfortunately.

I dont have the IS, but so far I've found it to be an excellent lens.

Here is a full res from a rowing regatta (EOS350D/70-200f2.8L shot as a jpg)

I agree although when i looked at a digital boy to replace my EOS 10 i hated the cheap plasticy feel of the 300/350/400/450D 's, luckily a mate was about to upgrade to a 5D so he offered me the 30D body for less than a 450D body . Canon 70-200 IS is out of the price range although i have seen a few for not much over 1200 which is comparable to a new Sigma/ Tamron equivelant.

We have a panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20.
Are these cameras any good.

CHEERS TIM.

I have a pair of Canon 400Ds, one is a Rebel XTi but it is the same camera just a different name as sold to some parts of the world.

fortunate enough to have streched to a couple of L IS zooms with good aperture. No primaries

Just hope the EF lenses remain the lense type of choice as I would like a full size array instead of the 2/3 or 3/4 size detector array things that make your wide angle lenses longer than they are. OK with tele lenses where you get a bit of extra magnification but it does your wides no good.

the little ixus 55 still gets a lot of use as you can throw it in your pocket, just not real good in low light. The powershot G2 did me well for many years before all the above.


If you like something that is well put together there is nothing like the L lenses you can tell they are made with glass and very smooth. I suspect that the top end nikon lenses will be much the same.

A lot of pros have stuck with nikon so they have good customer loyalty must be something in them, I just got used to the menu structures on the Canons

Two Praktika 35mm. One is a IVB I have owned for 46 years. Its light meter is now wildly inaccurate and the parts are no longer available. The other is a TTL, about twenty years old that I bought at auction five years ago in as new condition for $20. Got a collection of Praktika/Pentax screw mount lenses up to a 400mm. Novaflex that have accumulated over the period. I rarely use them now, preferring the convenience of digital photography.

Sony F828 digital, 8 mega pixel and video capable too.

Max resolution 3264 x 2448


ISO rating Auto, 64, 100, 200, 400, 800
