Thanks for the tip/suggestion, sounds sensible, will keep lightroom away from the internet until I am sure I'm of the outcome!

Hi Unfortunately I recently had my MacBook Pro stolen, luckily it was backed up using time machine. I was using Lightroom with a creative cloud subscription, the problem I have is, between my last backup and my laptop getting stolen I had edited a good few hundred photos so the backup of my...

I used to hate using flash,but that was only because I didn't know how to use it properly. Now iv started to understand some of the basics how to use flash properly it's truly amazing,but in certain situations natural light is still better!

+1 on the 15-85,only just picked up a secondhand copy,but it's a real cracker. Had the 18-55 is,but the 15-85 is built like a tank in comparisons and the extra focal length makes a massive difference. I guess it depends if you really need the faster speed of some of the other lenses mentioned...

Certainly seems the case! Haven't seen any on the forums and only a couple on the bay, oh well no rush just yet.

Cheers everyone for all your input,much appreciated. I think I will look out for a secondhand 15-85,but they seem quite rare! For what I want it for (general walkabout) it seems it will fit the bill perfectly,the 17-55 does have a big speed advantage,but seeing as they aren't to far apart...

Currently I have the 2 Canon kit lenses (18-55is and the 55-250is) I was looking at upgrading to the 15-85,it will give me a bit more on the wide end and a fair bit more reach to save swapping lenses so often. Just wondering what the image quality is like? Is it a big jump up from the 18-55 and...

Get yourself a set of Sanyo eneloops and I have THIS charger which has variable charge rates and seems to get very good reviews :thumbs:

Always nice to get something printed,well done!

Yes it was an upgrade for me from my 450d,I also had a Sony hd camcorder so by selling both those I didn't have to put much money towards the new 60d and I had a camera that could do the job of 2 pieces of kit and had a nice upgrade in spec as well. Why did I go with the 60d? Well firstly it is...

Ohh sorry! My new Canon 60d

Didn't realise the camera shop was open today,but found out it was,popped the camera back in a got a new one no problems at all. Apparently my one is the second one they have had back from the current batch with the same problem so maybe worth people making sure they check the camera is all...

Ok bad news!!! After trying out the camera for the first time earlier I found out it seems to be broke,put the newly charged battery in and switched on.... Nothing,completely dead. So will be heading straight back to the camera shop first thing Monday! Never mind looking at the 7d maybe dare I...

Will defiantly do, only charged the battery so far,been busy working! Have a day off tomorrow so will have a good play around and will post my opinions over the next week or so. Will only be able to compare it to my old 450d,but for a lot if people I guess it maybe useful as this is probably a...

Well the decision has been made and iv just picked up a new 60d!! Just a quick note to potential customers,all the camera shops I went into all said they were struggling on stock,once this batch goes they don't know what the supply will be like,the problems in Japan are starting to filter down...
