Agree with the above I have the canon grip and it improves the feel and having the shutter release is just about a must when shooting in portrait..............well worth having IMHO

So far........... nifty fifty 1.8 mkII 17-85 IS close to Lowepro compu trekker got rid of nasty kit lenses!! Would love sigma 10-20 but imminent child will now curtail many more purchases for a while...........but if anyone knows who sells some talent would try and stretch to...

FP, have the non IS version, think ot is worth having just for the IQ. It is sooooooo good, I was in the same position as you but have not regretted getting the non IS..

Nice shots Nigel, as has been said if you've got it then you've got it and you can take good shots with anything, nice one.

Sorry to hear about the redundancy, that sucks!!! but at least something positive has come from a really bad situation. Good luck with it and you never know where this may lead.

I've had a 350D and now 400D and have had the grip on both, it makes it feel really chunky and much more balanced, would be pleased to hear about the armour if you go for it...

Its been said before.................but it looks like a thermos flask to me..........????????????

Good luck Joe, I am always icredibly jealous of people doing this sort of stuff, probably 'cause I would never have the balls,cant wait to see some stuff you take, good luck again.

Thanks Pxl8, great advice as always. So would you advise to do the framing and signature in PS and then file and print through LR ?

Right, I have done a search and there doesn't appear to be answers on this so far............... I have just recently started using lightroom, what I would like to do is save to file my shots as they appear in the print part of lightroom, with the frame, signature etc still attached. Does anyone...

Macky, there is a different one in Abu Dhabi, the one you are on about is the Borg al Arab in Dubai, I cant remember what the Abu one is called but it looks like a massive palace.

Definitely take your gear, its not like NY or anything but the city has some amazing buildings, one of the worlds largest flags(amazing to see) and the desert just outside the city is well worth a go!! I bought a camera when I was out there, as I found loads to take....also gear is quite cheap...

Dont buy anything just yet.................lets keep this thread going , there are some cracking responses coming along, anyway have you thought about the new 450.....!!!!! a 40 in 400 body I reckon..............good luck......too many choices.

recommend Kerso to anyone, bought 70-200 F4L from him no trouble at all...........I used bank transfer but I know he takes Paypal and cheques.

I have a 70-200 F4L and I keep a UV on the front as I shoot a bit of Motocross and with bits flying towards me all the time I would hate to have the front cracked for the sake of a few quid as said above.......
