Interesting. With more and more megaPixel bodies, I would prefer better IQ and less reach. The xtra MP would allow me to crop a better image. I have yet to take a sharp enough image with a Sigma

I have no use for RAW, 99.9% of the times. My image files size is within 1Meg of that of a RAW image, and I prefer to get the image right in the camera, it takes time to process images.

Used it today at Silverstone. I used a 1.3crop body, it is on the edge of too short

I stick to getting used Canon L glass. If the two lenses together is a problem, get a used 100-400L. Sigma *-500 are not in the same class as the CanonL lenses, even if they are 10years old. Been there, done that, burnt the t-shirt. An African safari is not something you go back to in order to...

Do yourself a favour.. get the 550D body, get a used 70-200F4 (without IS is also good) and search for a used 400F5.6L You will not be disappointed, I promise. The 550D is a great body, latest processors, and good MP, the two lenses are superb, affordable in the used market rendering...

Me and my friend cover whole day motorsport events and each take 1500-1700 images of a day's motorsport. We than cut it down to around 750. This gives us 75-100 images per class, which would have had two heats. I often take two or three frame bursts with the 1D, and keep the best one...

Start off with tv. Iam using one at Silverstone too.

Is there no one single governing body for motorsport in the UK? In my country, one's request comes via a publication.

If it is working like a new lens, and it looks like a new lens, ask for a lens hood. Im not sure what the instruction manual is supposed to tell you which you dont already know.

If you buy a 550D, get the 18-55IS + 55-250IS. You can take some pretty pix with it. If you decide to get a 40D, consider a 70-200F4L or older 70-200F2.8. It might cost you the same. Neither are really good for wildlife, but then my idea of wildlife and your idea of wildlife may be completely...

Hello all, After a couple of weeks following some of the threads decided to join and register. Some people would say Im a keen amateur and some might differ. Photography has been a passionate past time of mine since my teens when my parents handed me a small 110 format point and shoot type...
