I don't think I'd feel too comfortable taking shots of a 16 year girl in her underwear to be honest. Never mind the potential legal minefield.

Taped up or not, if a desperate mugger sees a "fancy big camera" he's going to go for it surely...? It's like debadging a Ferrari. You still know that it's either A) a flash car or B) a ferrari.

Thanks, someone agrees :) The way I see it, Model Release forms are just used hear as a peace of mind to save hassle down the line, not that they're needed at all.

I don't even think you need a model release to make things legal...

A post like that coming from an Olympus owner? Doesn't surprise me! ;) :lol:

Great read :)

It's also not a constant 2.8 aperture.

Photojournalism. Current affairs, sports. That sort of thing :)

Yeah, I've noticed. Just grabbed myself one from EBay. £240 :) Bargain.

Yeah, I'm torn between the Tamron 17-50 or the Sigma 28-70. Will probably go for the 17-50, now just to find a 30D :)

Yes, but that is the part that rotates/extends when you use the MF focus ring. So he could be rotating the lens-barrel.

Is the screen on the 20D really a limiting factor? Obviously the bigger screen the better (D40 has a reasonable sized screen which I admit did come in handy)

By D60 I mean't to say D40, woops! I just find the D40 a bit small in my hands and fancy going for something a bit larger/heavier if you get what I mean. I've also used a friends 40D and I find the controls of the canon a bit more intuitive to use. Also I'll hopefully be sticking with...

Ooh, excellent. The crop factor was a bit of a worry. I can't believe I didn't think of the 18-50 2.8. Will give roughly the same focal length as the 28-70. Thanks :)

Hey guys, my first post here after a while of lurking so be nice :D I've dabbled in photography using a Nikon D40 (not mine) every now and then and I'm finally coming into enough disposable income (joys of being a student...) to purchase my own DSLR+ lens'. Anyway, I'm looking at purchasing...
