I think physical handling of the cards is the biggest threat since my fingers are clumsy, my pockets are many, are big and have holes. 32GB is more than enough for a single shoot (for me) and once a shoot is over, an instant backup is done to save my bacon. Over the years I've had one CF...

Took me a second... :thinking: then PMSL :D Good one!

I love gadgets. Wish I still had my first camera though. And yes I'm a bit older than the OP as well...:

I'm jealous, well when I covered the UCI Mountain Bike finals in Fort William I had the 24-105mm and 100-400mm with me, results below. But I wished I had slightly faster lenses as especially along the forest track it was pretty dark! http://www.flickr.com/photos/onlineove/sets/72157624102251147/

I think the sound of that reminds me of my wife's sewing machine... :D :exit:

I'm looking for a rugged camera for my 11 year old son and came across this gem...: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Olympus-TOUGH-8000-12-7-Megapixel-Digital-Camera-/250761988506?pt=UK_CamerasPhoto_DigitalCameras_DigitalCameras_JN&hash=item3a6294499a Should I get it and tell him he's supposed to put it...

About time they get forced to become more up-front about the charges. That said...: I fly Ryanair all the time, best deal was a no airport taxes deal to Milan for four people at a grand total (credit card charges mainly) of £60. Parking the car at the airport cost almost the same... Flights for...

:thinking: Smartiepants! :bonk:

Well, let me check out a couple of my CF purchases...: 1) Oct 2010. 48MB CF @ £160 (http://www.photobyove.com/blog/?page_id=37) for a 2 megapixel camera 2) March 2010. 32GB CF @ £80 for a 17 megapixel camera I recon that's a devil of a 666 x increase in storage capacity while halving (not...

I used to have the Sigma 10-20, my note on my web page "mistake to sell" (http://www.photobyove.com/blog/?page_id=37). But the Canon 10-22 that I've swapped temporarily with a friend has worked out pretty damn well, examples below. Oh please bring back the crispy white snow, and let's forget...

Bummer, got me, no help to offer, and too late to ignore... Now be a sport and post something to match your subject, OK :lol: ?

Camerabox would be grey import as well. I bought a G11 from them when it got released in 2009, I knew that would be the case as it wasn't really available in the UK yet. I got a US style charger with UK adapter and an obviously Camerabox-printed manual. I got my 60D from ebay seller "digigood"...

Check www.mpbphotography.co.uk, they have a scruffy 1DsII for £999 and two x scruffy 5D for £499, I was incredibly temped to pull the trigger on the first one but since I don't "need it" at the moment I decided not to ;) ...

I've always been a Sandisk man but now my main card is a Transcend 32GB 400x (various Sandisk Extreme IV and Ultra II as backups). Bad memories of losing a 4GB card at a night-time event and a bent CF pin in an Ixus is enough for me to deliberately try to avoid having to change cards during a...

Enjoy the camera, whether it says "Rebel" or "550D" won't matter as long as you're taking pictures with it. Too bad the seller thinks UK consumer law with regards to warranty doesn't apply to him...
