£100 is pretty much my limit as I'm still new to video and learning the basics. I actually have an LCW Fader ND for my other lenses, but it won't fit the Tokina 11-16mm I recently bought and wouldn't be as effective on ultra wide angles from what I've read.

I've done a quick search about this but can't seem to find much information. Has anyone used square/ rectangular ND filters (e.g. cokin/hitech) for video? Are there any DSLR video specific issues I should know about using them, (other than sharpness/color cast etc from cheap glass) that you...

Another question, is there significant improvement on the 40d for higher ISOs? Especially 800 and 1600, as I know the 450d doesn't have 3200.

Wow, quick replies haha. I know this shouldn't be too hard a decision, but I have done some research any many people advise to buy the 450d and use the savings to buy the lens, as IQ is very similar. However in my case I would be owning both bodies tomorrow and need to know which to get rid...

Hello, I'm struggling to make a decision on which camera to keep. Tomorrow I'll be getting a Canon 40d and Canon 17-55mm lens as the seller is selling for a really good price and does not want to split (I was mostly interested in the lens). I currently have a gripped 450d which I am pleased...

Are these cropped images? Wow, didn't know it had that much effect (if those were taken using a tripod).

I've got a Nissin Di622 after researching various budget flash options, and it's served me well so far. I'm also an amateur myself and I am not a frequent flash user too, so just like you I couldn't justify spending too much on a Canon brand flashgun. A review of the lens...

Thanks for that, it really is the type of information I am looking for. Seems to have less vignetting than I expected (well good enough for my uses anyway) and I don't think it would be too much of a problem for me in real world use. I guess it would be more or less the same at 11mm on a...

Thanks, I'd really appreciate it if you can find that post :)

Hello, I am just wondering if anyone has used Cokin P filters on a Tokina 11-16mm, and how badly it vignettes (if at all)? Also if it help I'm using a crop body (Canon 450d)

Another vote for the tamron. I upgraded to one from the kit lens for my 450D and it is a noticeable improvement. I've also read some good reviews on the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8, which is apparently very similar to the Tamron if you get a good copy. Bare in mind that primes tend to outperform zooms...

I have VLC but prefer to use GOM Player for videos, not sure why, its just personal preference.

Mine arrived yesterday, thanks for the link

Hello, I have an RF602 wireless transmitter/ receiver set from eBay, which I bought for use with my Canon 450D. I have recently put it up for sale and a buyer with a Canon 7D wants to know if it would be compatible with his camera. I'm not sure about this but someone can help me with this.

My lens also steams up when I get back indoors from a cold shoot, I'm guessing silica gel would help with this problem too?
