The first link is the package, the second link is the camera kit which forms part of the package. I'm not taking it back, as I realise the IS is a nice-to-have. I've had the kit out today and taken some cracking photos, so so much better than my old 300D Thanks for all the advice, Paul

I'm happy with the camera, and I know that I.S. is only a nice to have - same optics and internals as tbe no -I.S. version. It'd just be nice if i had what I thought I was paying for, but at the end of the day its a good deal and I think I will struggle to find one as good. I'll send currys an...

Apologies for confusing everyone in my original post, it was late!!! The first link is for the bundle, i.e. with the free kit bag. While in this link you can click another link to both the camera+lens kit and the individual kit bag. In the link to the camera+lens kit there is a spec list...

Evening all, This afternoon I splashed out and upgraded from my 300D dinosaur to a gorgeous new 600D complete with 2 lenses and kit bag bundle, from Currys...

Also when i got mine last year, i had a quick look on Ebay to see what they were going for, and an M3 body in good condition with a Summicron 50 went for £855.

Haha i was going to say exactly the same!!! I fancy expanding my Leica inventory but i dont get out often enough with my M3 to justify spending money on extras! Although some of that kit does look very appealing! :) Paul

I agree, Chester Zoo is always good :)

Afternoon all, When i use up my first roll of film in the Leica i'm planning on getting somewhere (prob Tesco) to develop the negs and scan them on to a disc. What sort of resolution will i be getting from this process? Will i be able to blow up the image to print on a reasonably sized...

Id never class my 6.3Mp Canon 300D as a "Pro Camera"!!! :lol:

I used to do the odd bit of cloning, but apart from that it was just adjusting the colours, exposures, sharpening etc. I wouldnt know where to start with anything more involved than that, but if i've got the software to hand then i've got the opportunity to learn :) Paul

How much are they selling the Acros for? may have to pop in on my way back from work tomorrow :) Paul
