Article below. Wonder if current and older phones will be able to use it? Maybe firmware update and card adapter will do the trick? :) http://hexus.net/ce/news/cameras/32892-compactflash-announces-xqd-new-memory-card-format/

Right, have taken your advice and stuck with Nikon :) The D7000 to be exact :P It's probably overkill for me but i'm determined to learn learn learn! :) I just need maybe a couple of lenses... want one for lovely portraits and then one for general stuff like, skies, horizons, buildings...

it's quite a bit more (second hand that is)... does look and sound better than the D90 but for the money i spend on the body, i can get the d90 with that lens i mentioned in my last post... any thoughts? (and thoughts about that lens?) thanks :)

A friend brought his D90 in for me today... gotta say it's a very nice piece of machinery to hold :) So instead of going for the oldish camer for around £200.. i might just spend around £500 for one of these... thoughts anyone? Also any thoughts on this lens (not sure if all the reviews are...

doing family photos (a la studio style (ish)) is very important to me. would a second hand D70 or sony a230 do the trick? £200 seems to be the going rate? (with kit lens i think)

i know lenses can be expensive but really that expensive?!! :gag: Good advice there, my spidey sense tells me i should follow it :p thanks :) good strategy there, one i was planning on doing.. i'll probably lose a bit but i agree with your point, it'll be the most cost effective way for...

been reading things (reviewers and owners alike) about how good it is etc etc. Given the price it had better be! So hence the change of heart from sony to canon. if i get my half decent starter kit together (450d and a nice lens) then i can sell the 450d at somet point in the future and...

sorry about this but have decided against getting the A65 (for now). Have been presented with an offer for a Canon 450D for £200. Is this a good price? It's just the body so would need to source a decent lens. I'm initially looking to do family photos and maybe some macro (close up?)...

that's very useful, thanks very much Myrdhinn :) the lens you mention.. that one's really expensive right? (any cheaper alternatives?)

Thanks Peter. Just read a review about the a65 on dpreview. Mainly good but claim it produces a lot of noise on all ISO levels with laggy menu navigation. As an owner, can you tell me your thoughts about these issues please? Also do you think this camera is up there with say the canon 5d mk ii...

i'm always a little dubious when buying from ebay... i'm not desperate so will do further research and shop around. good tip about the body only and then sourcing the lens to save some money, thanks so much! :)

hmmm... looking seriously at the A65 now. saw some on ebay and there's one from HK for about 620. Warranty aside, do you think this is a good price? Do you know what pre-flood prices were like? thanks!

oh i see! sorry for the numpty question there :) I'm not desperate for a camera... worth waiting for the january sales for an A65? First glance seems it has most of the good features from the a77? (obviously i won't have any money left over for a decent lens but the one that comes with it...

a580 uses EVF right? Do you know when the a580 will get replaced? thanks.

thanks for the tips :) why are the A580s harder to find now? is it being replaced by a newer model or something?
