May i suggest the 550d with kit lens? Well within your budget and a brilliant entry level dslr, also with video recording function, im also new to photography and a canon fan myself, like most will suggest go to your local jessops or similiar and hold/get a feel for the camera before buying...

Thank you everyone for the help and advice. :thumbs: I will be purchasing the 70-200 f4 on friday along with a 1.4x extender :D cant wait to have a play with it to see for myself what the lens is actually like, been thinking about it for a while and its time to bite the bullet especially now...

I think i will be selling my 55-250mm lens and buying the 70-200mm lens, at what focal length was that shot taken Roy? whats the exif on that shot? i think you've just persuaded me even more to buy it :thinking: So...I know what i want to shoot with the lens, but do you think its worth while...

hows 70-200mm lens compare to the 300mm version? if the extender reduces image quality? :help: Regards Shaun

nearly spat my coffee over my laptop then! :lol: :nuts: Was also thinking about getting the 1.4x extender, will i lose any quality at the far end combined with the 70/200L on a crop body? :shrug: so tempted to just go for it, but want to make sure it will be ok, ive read so many good reviews...

Just after some advice on buying this lens, i have the canon 550D and really considering buying this lens, but my question is, will i be able to use this lens to its full potential? is it too big for a crop body dslr? as ive heard it can put stress on the mounting ring? is it worth me selling my...

the nifty fifty is absolutely brilliant! :) Regards Shaun

Thats waiting for it to recharge, with the flashgun on the hotshoe, i go into settings and try to open up external flash c.fn settings and the camera says i dont have the flashgun attatched? am i doing something wrong here? im not sure im a total newbie and i dont have the instructions. I...

any recommendations on a decent flash with the sigma 105mm? i have the jessops flash (360AFD) mentioned above but for some strange reason it wont go off every time i press the shutter button even with fully recharged batteries with the ready light on, i think there may be a communication problem...

Same here, I only bought my 550d a week ago and im itching to get out there to have a play with it, i will try some of this on my 50mm 1.8 :) Regards Shaun

Looking forward to having a canon 550d dslr in my posession tomorrow along with a few accessories ;)

agreed camerabox is a no go for me im afraid ive read so many bad reviews about them, im being offered a 550d with lenses and accesories for a good price, all in immaculate condition so im going to avoid buying it all new at the moment until the deal has been secured. :) any help or pointers...

i think i will look at these items second hand, just i dont have access to the classified section of this forum due to being new and having a low post count, its also hard to know who to trust with electrical goods these days, i dont know how many times ive heard "it was working when i posted...

i managed to find the deal else where for £779 from a place called srsmicrosystems here is the link http://www.srsmicrosystems.co.uk/1144/Canon-EOS-550D-Digital-SLR-Camera-with-Canon-18-55mm-IS---55-250mm-IS-Lenses.html?referrer=Froogle.csv Whats everyones experiences with these? what are...

I guess thats pixmania out of the question :thinking: was hoping they would be reliable as thats the cheapest place i could find the 550D with the 18-55 lens and 55-250 lens as a package "new". I will never buy anything electrical second hand had bad experiences before, so i'd rather pay the...
