Parents Account ? Either way.. Congrats... im jealous as i would love a 5d... but am barely good enough to use the 350d i have haha.

Right, So back onto Topic, A UV would effectively act as an extra glass on the end of the lens purely to protect the lens, but would offer no image enhancment qualities, where as a CP filter would help bring out the colours? Is that a generalised statement? Can you advise if any...

Perfect Thankyou, So Its worth me buying a CP, and looking at a Grad Filter... (the suggested 2/0.6) :)

No Worries... Really useful stuff..... So what is the difference betwen a UV and a Circular Polariser? and would they be beneficial to me?

Ok, Ive currently got a Nifty Fifty, 18-55 (Kit Lens) and a 20-80 lens... Ive decided i had better start putting Filters onto my lenses (for protection more than anything else) but dont want to make images any worse than they already are (im a beginner) As the world of "filters"...

My opinion is that canon is a better system, as there is no "lens compatability" problems, where as i believe some Digital Nikon lenses do/dont have motors in the lenses which causes problems... Cant help on the lens front though as im only just starting to up my system too. A good 450d...

One from my Samsung Point and Shoot (originally bought to capture anything interesting while im out mountain biking. Location is Dartmoor, on the way down to Burrator Reservoir.

Ok, i have a 350d, and would like a little more power (light wise) Ive been looking at the 430 but its a little steep for a flash i might not use much. Any other suggestions from anyone on anything that might be two thirds as good but not as much money? im a beginner so it doesnt need to...

i would look at buying a 2nd hand 500d, (or a 450d with loads of extras) ;) as they are good V for Money :)

cheers Lee, Thats really great (reinforced my thoughts) im currently after a 50mm f1.8, and keeping an eye out for a 30d (unless a 40d appears for good money.)

haha yea, Im looking at spending around £250 max for the upgrade to a 30 or 40d, really cant afford any more... Also after a nifty fifty (to play with) ive read a lot of contradicting opinions of 350d vs 30d (and whether there is much of a difference) so would be interested ot hear...

Ok, heres the scene. I have a Canon 350d, and a few of the cheapie "beginner" lenses. origionally i was capturing a lot of motorsport (Motor cross etc) so was happy to make do with old "cheapie" lenses incase they were scratched or damaged... So now im more grown up and a little (tiny...

Howdy All, Came across this site while getting bored with the ameracisms of photo.net. Currently have a 350D with a standard 18-55 Kit Lens, and a 300 Film Camera (not really used much) after a little advise about my next lens as i seem to want everything in one haha... Anyhow...
