Since I bought my camara its become a real passion. If I'm honest I'm using the auto mode mote than I'd want to. I think it boils down to confidence and the amount of time it takes me to set the camera up for each shot. The wheel on the back of the xxd models looks a lot quicker for changing...

Cheers guys. I'm aware that I still haven't scratched the surface of my currant camaras potential and agree with you all that I need to improve my confidence in the manual modes. I'm not wanting an upgrade, I'm wanting a second camara so I can switch between lenses quicker. I find myself...

I have a canon 500d and have become the family photographer and to be honest I'm loving it. I'm looking for a second camera as I'm tired of changing lenses when taking pictures. I really want to "up my game" and step away from the auto modes more than I currantly am so I've looked at acquiring...

I'm trying to buy a flash but the amount of jargon out there confuses me. I have a Canon 500d, have I got it right that the flash I need should have E-TTL if I want it to auto focus. I'm looking at maybe buying the YN-465 flash speedlite. Many thanks

Thanks, thought it sounded a bit far fetched, surely they wouldn't sell them if they were breaking cameras

Was about to purchase a cheap battery grip for my Canon 500D however my boss just told me that cheap brands destroy your camara? Is there any truth in this, can't say I've heard it mentioned before. Cheers guys

Its not this lens i'm buying, i've been offered a lens just like this thats all. I've been offered the following Canon EOS 1000FN camera - Film Sigma 70-300mm APO macro lens 1:4-5.6 + hard case Sigma 28-70mm lens all for £40? This seems like a good deal to me. any opnions?

So should it work on my Canon???

I'm pretty sure it should work on my Canon 500D but just got puzzled why this seller says it won't work on a digital camera. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CANON-EOS-FIT-SIGMA-1-4-5-6-F-70-300mm-APO-MACRO-AF-M-ZOOM-LENS-CASE-HOOD-/170810987688?pt=UK_Lenses_Filters_Lenses&hash=item27c520d4a8 I...

Thanks guys. Guess I'll get bargin hunting then.

When I say budget I mean under 200 quid. I'm getting married myself this year so I'm somewhat strapped for cash.

I need a budget wide angle lens for a canon 500d. I'm going to be taking pictures for a family wedding. Any ideas?

I'm hoping to plan a trip there. I know some museams don't allow photography. Cheers

I'm wanting a flash for my Cannon 500d and although the 580EX -II would be nice, its way out of my budget. I've played around with my camera enough now and have even tagged on with a wedding photographer to get some experiance. I took pictures of my brother-in-laws wedding and really...

Sorry that was meant to say an old cobra flash. Sorry.
