If the B & G have had a meeting with the photographer then booked the photog based on having seen samples of their work, it would be more than fair to say that they would know the quality they are getting.

ahh..good point. I wasn't even thinking about EF-s lenses.

haha... There seems to be a bit of that happening in this thread :-)

Hmmm.... I reckon you may have mis-read something or been given advice that is just plain wrong. You can't join two seperate lenses together to make longer focal length. Where you maybe getting confused is that due the size of its sensor, your 450D is what is known as a "crop body". That means...

Hmmm... You maybe right. Hasn't been back to the forum since posting these.

Your photos, particularly the ones of the group suggest otherwise. Half the group is in the shade, half in the sun. One would hope, nothing.

For Canon... AI Servo on, choose mode of preference - Tv, Av or manual, whatever frame rate you want, choose focus point for composition wanted, set shutter speed, ISO and aperture for desired result. Good to go.

Here's another one. This time from global credit card company VISA 20. When an entrant submits/uploads any material in connection with the promotion, including a Photograph (“Content”), the entrant, unless the Promoter advises otherwise, licenses and grants the Promoter, its...

Really...? Ever had a close look at the T's&C's for most competitions. Here's one running in Australia at the moment. Point 32 of their TC's & C's 32. When an entrant submits any materials via the Promotion including comments, recordings and images (e.g. photographs) (“Content”)...

Webs (formerly Freewebs) is really easy to use. I've been using it since 2008 without any real problems. I'm far from a technolgical genius and if a Luddite like me can use it and not stuff it up, I'd be relatively sure that anybody else can. There's probably things I could to to improve it, but...

Not sure if that's meant to be an attempt at being funny, or sarcastic. Either way it is an epic fail. As I said at the start of the post, it was a bit hard to do anywhere near a decent review after just 20 minutes use at a product launch. Why don't you go out and test one for yourself, them...

and a few more And some thoughts... It's pretty difficult to give a proper evaluation as I only had use of it for about 20 minutes add to that, the fact that it was raining fairly hard at times, I didn't want to expose it to the elements as it was essentially a demo model and was the...
