    I have 3 or 4 SD memory cards already for my Ixus, randomly collected over the years. I presume these are compatible?

    No purchases made as yet but hopefully tomorrow. Am looking to get the 'nifty fifty' as so many people seem to mention that one :) And the 17-50mm 2.8 Tamron (is that right?). Only ones I am confused about are: 28-135mm, 55-200mm or 18-200mm. What's the real difference as they all seem...

    Good idea about the vouchers. Might just do that so I can get this camera bought! lol :thumbs: All I am pretty sure about is that I will need something that will reach further than the bog standard kit lens and that I will also need 50mm f1.8 plus a 10mm-20mm ......... or at least I think...

    No not yet :( I'm in such a quandry now. I have been offered a second hand 450d but it seems that it isn't such a good price as I originally thought. And looking at various price comparison websites, looks like I can get a brand new one (obviously with full warranty) for the same price or just a...

    Those are my nieces in the photos. I have a son (16 yrs). Alas, you won't be seeing many (if any) shots of him as he a) does not smile on demand or at all, and b) I'm not sure he actually has eyes/a face anymore. He's been hidden behind his hair for about 3 years now :lol: Edit: Found a...

    With regards to going 'wider', there have been so many many times in the past where my mind sees what I want to capture (say on the beaches in Barbados) and I'll be showing friends back home saying "Oh but if you could've been there and seen it for yourself ......" and I get frustrated that my...

    This whole lens business is 10 x more confusing than the actual camera decision. I am so confused about mm and f-this&that. The type of pics I take are: 1. Top of the list - my family and friends (recent shots from this weekend here...

    Hmmmm, interesting. I thought that the price offered was pretty darn good but from what you have both said, I could get a brand new one for around the same price :thinking: Oh the confusion. r1skbreak3r - You got the camera and the lenses for that price?? Was this an ebay dealer or just a...
