Great, thanx for ** feedback guys. The standard lens on the EOS 350D (which i`m using now) is a 18-55mm and is ideal for getting wider shots but I know not the best lens. Will shop round and get what I can afford. Not sure if the 24-105 IS will suffice for group shots but hear thats its a...

I`m considering purchasing a Canon EOS 40D as a package deal. I have a 350D now with 18-55 and 50mm portrait lens. Went into Jessops the other day to see what they had to offer. They had a standard kit with 17-85 lens and after speaking with the salesman he said this lens would be ideal for...

Thanks for your comments, much appreciated. Wanted to get a better lens with the upgrade. Will review both 40D and 5D. Cheers

Have 2 lenses, the EF18-55mm and EF 50mm 1:1.4. I use a Speedlite 420EX flash and the camera is approx 4-5 years old. Would like to change now and want to spend bit extra and get something that is going to last me a good few years. Found a deal on 7dayshop.com including a lens.

Hi there I posted a thread a few months ago about my Canon EOS 350D where some of my shots were blurring and my shutter sounded as if it were sticking. Turns out it was the flashboard that needed replaced and cost me £ 130 to repair. I have used it a few times since and although the...

Hi there Can anyone suggest a good image hosting for use with this forum where I can download my pics? Thanks

Yeh pop up flash working ok. Camera in general is excellent condition. Practice makes perfect but need to make sure it aint faulty. Cheers

Hi Janice Dont like pop up flash. I use Speedlite 420EX and also an additional EF 50mm lens which is fine for close up shots but with no zoom bit limited.

Yes, its my first DSLR used film before.

Had over 2 yrs and warranty run out. Took the photos in the `green square from hell` (ha) tonight and when used in the past haven`t had blurry shots. Could be that the camera needs servicing. Will play around with other modes. Thanks for the advice Janice.

Thanks for the comments. Easy to see lots of `different`people use these sites. LOL. I have little time 2 fiddle about with this one as I`ve used my other cameras more. Cheers

Took some indoor shots tonight at different shutter speeds. When I use shutter priority mode it sounds ok but there is no image on the camera? Also when I use other modes with no flash the shutter sounds like its sticking or jamming. I have had some blurry pics before but not as much. Feels...

Thanks lots of great tips.

The lighting conditions were good and the camera selected 1/20th shutter speed and 5.0 aperture.

Hi there I have a Canon EOS 350D and normally use the auto mode (green square) to capture various portraits for indoor/outdoor use. Recently I`ve been having trouble with my blurry shots where I`m not using a flash. As these shots were taken outdoors in overcast conditions I cant understand...
