Thanks for that gentlemen.

So what is it on the cosmetics that you can tell the difference? I can't tell on Canons site with them both together. How do you know your not paying MkII for a MkI?

I shall have a play about with that idea Randy, cheers.

Cheers Richard, I posted in “Talk Basics - Lens and distance”; folks have been helpful. Just working out an appropriate lens and compromise for what I'll be using the camera for, what can be expected and achieved, and make sure there’ll be no disappointments or over-expectations. All the tips...

I've been directed here by Suvv, very handy explainations/calculations/ transpositions, cheers. :thumbs: So would that work out if you photographed something 15cm tall 20m away with 400mm lens with 22.3mm sensor, you would only fill about 0.13 of the frame with the subject?

I appreciate all the comments, From what I’m reading I realise there’s going to have to be a fair bit of compromise. At this stage I think I’d be wise to go for a zoom lens (versatility trumping extra bit of quality); and concentrate on learning, and improving skills and techniques. As...

Very nice pictures Rich and thanks for that, all useful for me, I'm only going to be able to start initially with one good quality lens, so i'm trying to decide which or what combination (with TC) will be the best option and give the best range.

Thank you for that Dave, one to remember, So for the 400mm lens, divide it by 14.9mm (for 60D (vertical)), then multiply by (say) subject 200mm high. Gives approx, 5.37m away for full frame height and the minimum distance able to frame the subject. :thumbs: Andy

“Absolutely no question is too silly or basic in here” Ok, then I’ll begin I’m soon going to buy my first DSLR camera; now that I’ve decided that the 600D or 60D is the most suitable camera body for me (for the vari-angle screen), I’d really appreciate some help on choosing an initial lens...

Thanks for the welcome Rick, I'm glad I found the site; I've a fair bit of reading up to do here.:thinking:

Hi all, I’m looking to step up to a DSLR camera in the near future; I’m basically a beginner but looking to get more involved with photography now, as a hobby, largely for wildlife and outside sport. I’m pretty sure which body will be best suited for me but I’m particularly looking for best...
