My cousin and best mate will be attempting to climb, walk, run and crawl up every summit over 3000ft (914m) in Cymru within 24 hours. That’s 15 mountains, a distance of about 26 miles (42km) without counting the walks up to and down from the start and finish point, totalling about 11,500ft...

Shoot Raw and leave it set to auto and tweak in Post Processing. I have some presets saved in Lightroom for quicker adjustments.

I use the Cokin P wide angle holder. Not visible at all at 10mm. If I stack it on top of a Hoya Pro Digital CP it is not visible at 12mm

Go for the 64bit OS. The OS can then utilise over 3gb of RAM. Both Vista 64bit and Windows 7 64bit have had had no problems running 32bit software for me.

Has anyone managed a direct comparison with the EF-S 17-55mm yet? Would be interesting seeing side by side results.

avira is pretty good for free anti virus software. Has a pretty high detection and kill rate

60% of the time I shoot in Aperture Priority
