Finally got the 550d now, and I'm happy with that. Thanks for all the advice guys :)

Big welcome :) I'm new too, and it's a great place to get started. You could ask around on the equipment section like I did, my choice was between a 500d and 550d, and people are still helping me on that thread. But look at Nikon and Sonys range too, find a shop where you can see them for...

Even any small compact camera would do. But for childrens outings I'd recommed this; http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kodak-Playfull-Waterproof-Video-Camera/dp/B005EG3GZG/ref=sr_1_12?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1358784754&sr=1-12 The waterproof thing might come in handy if you go to the beach or just...

I think he was being a bit of an idiot when he said that. Some photographers are prone to moan about anything, they think they are right about everything. It's like everyone says, how can you know what you really like if you don't try it. Personally I'm really eclectic in my tastes, so I go to...

I can't really tell you the difference as I'm wondering myself, but my Dad has been a professional photographer for 30 years now, and he still uses Sigma lenses on his Canon, so I honestly wouldn't have much worries about getting a good Sigma lens. They seem just as good as the Canon ones.

Thanks guys, this is helping loads! I wasn't worried about the video before I seen the 550d had HD, and the only reason it makes a difference for me is that I am a film student and it may come in handy. Another thing I was wondering is about the lenses, I am considering spending the extra...

See it now. I usually don't watch this 'fail' things, but when I went through the frames, it is just how you say. Back to class I go... :bonk:

I love this bit :lol: I get annoyed by all the negativity towards Apple, not because I'm a fan myself, but because people my age walk around with Iphones and Macs, and Ipods, using them day in, day out, and still jump on the bandwagon of calling them a greedy so and so. I love Apple, I think...

I could still be wrong, but in my opinion as a long time film studies student, that seems real to me, and I really, really hope he doesn't breed!

It's the same over here in Northern Ireland too! I've been sick of this the past few years, since we had that really bad winter and a lot of my towns water pipes froze and folks went without running water for a while. But the problem isn't the snow or freezing, the problem is that the government...

I'm happy to hear this! Too many people bashing Apple all the time, but I've always had a good experience with them. I had an acer laptop few years ago, in the two years I had it, it broke down twice, got viruses all the time, and kept over heating. And I looked after it as well. Finally got...

What are the reasons your friend wants yours? I study Media, and do filmwork, so hd video may come in quite useful, so its good to know. (Obviously a good camcorder would be better, but who can afford it all!) I wasn't sure of the fps on the 20d so I looked it up, apparently it's 5fps, but I...

Thanks guys, already getting helpful info :)
