Thanks Dave,with the pricing over here I can go roughly to 150-200 equivalent UK pricing as I persuaded him to increase his budget to £150 for the very reasons you mention. My sister used to have a Sony, the night mode in that always seemed to produce good images.

I have used the 100-400 a fair bit on safari, whilst it is definitely capable of being shot hand held for extended periods I somehow feel more comfortable with a mono-pod or something to rest it on. The IS is useful but shows it's age a little with regard to newer lenses. The comparable 70-300mm...

Not the usual topic here I know, whilst I find myself perfectly competent choosing a dSLR I am tasked with getting a relatively cheap point and shoot for my Step-Dad. He isn't really sure what he want's and to be perfectly honest I think he just wants a new camera to enjoy. I can't imagine him...

Whilst your attitude and apparent knowledge screams 'troll' I shall attempt to feed you with some advice in the hope you get off your high horse and respectfully take on board the advice that you requested by creating thread. The 1dx is an excellent camera that will excel at almost anything...

Depending on what you want to do with slow motion, have a look at twixtor.

I was looking at the redsnapper stuff, now very tempted by that benro kit. Looks exactly what I need!

#2 appears to have more detail, but its hard to tell with small samples.

Given the sigma 120-300 with 2x and 1.4x extenders will give the same range at the same aperture the image quality for 1/5 the price is going to have to be extraordinary!

It depends on what particular feature you deem to be inadequate enough on the 500d to warrant purchasing an upgrade.

You would have to have left handed lenses too. All the controls are on the left hand side of them, were a body with a left hand side grip developed it would be impossible/impractical to reach and use the controls.

Actually no, it was a lens I considered before ultimately purchasing the canon 100-400. The general consensus was that the canon was sharper and the samples I saw backed that up. I also heard that the canon was faster to AF. That said if those images are representative of the general performance...
