Thanks but calling the video terrible isn't helpful. Compared against the standard most agents put out, which is bouncy, low quality camera phone footage, I certainly wouldn't say it was terrible, they're not looking to win an Oscar! Constructive criticism would be welcomed.

Thanks, anything in particular? Using the 100d for all would be the easiest option, the quality is reasonable enough.

Hi! I'm trying to improve my company's property walk through videos; we've been using either camera phones or the video option on a Canon 100d with a 10-20mm Sigma lens, neither are fantastic and often come out quite dark and not particularly levelled. We did have one put together by a...

Thanks very much! Will have a look :)

Ok i'm a bit of a noob but i'm shooting mostly interior property shots for my web based lettings & sales company. The dpreview page for the f3.5 says its ideal for interior shots, is this true and would it be significantly better? I'll be using it with a Canon 40D. Any help much appreciated :)

Update - Got a 40d today! Just gotta figure out how it all works, oh and track down a 10-20mm lens now! cheers again guys!

Cheers once again guys, looks like i'm going to be parting with another few hundred quid but hopefully it'll be worth it!

Are there any fixed lens options? I.e. a lens fixed at 10mm or 12mm - if that makes sense? Sorry if that sounds daft, but even on the compact I rarely touch the zoom so doubt i'd need to adjust it often.

Nope thats why i'm looking for a wide angle option already. Must admit I didn't know the measurements were different for SLRs until yesterday though!

Cheers. I'm hoping to start with a 17-55 or 18-55 kit lens so have something to play with, but one of the reasons for my upgrade from point and shoot is for wider angle shots than my 25mm Panasonic can offer.

Don't have it just yet but am looking at a Canon 40d ideally. Pentax and other options are on the table but just depends what I can get for my hard earned £££

Hi! I'm currently on the look out for a camera (as previously mentioned on here) but wanted to check exactly what I'd need to take wide angle shots. Do I need a full blown lens such as the Sigma 10-20 or is there a another option? I've seen lots of fish eye/wide angle lenses, but are these...

Quite possibly interested if the price is right! Will be keeping my eye out for a 40d in the meantime though, cheers again guys :thumbs:

Thanks for all your help guys! Popped into Jessops and Jacobs earlier today and think i'm discounting the need for liveview at the moment as its not really going to benefit me. Think I just wanted to avoid the whole peering down the viewfinder looking a bit conspicuous thing. Had a look at...

Thanks for all the advice guys. I'm happy to invest in a good lens as they don't really seem to lose much value unlike the camera. Think i'm still leaning toward the 40d but will pop down to Jessops to make sure it feels right. Cheers!
