hey strangely enough just ordered both as well as uv/polariser filters. The camera turned up today and can't wait to start shooting at the weekend after I have a play at home :) I've seen an incase bag which looks good but not sure on size

Well I've gone and done it and the 7d with 15-85 is ordered with the Tamron 70-300 plus a 16gb Sandisk 60mb card I now need a bag and possibly a replacement for the neck strap - are there any other things I need from the off Thanks to everyone for your comments all much appreciated and I'm...

More reading and research as well as getting my hands on both 60d and 7d and I've now decided to go with the 7d just hope its not too complex for my standards going with the canon 15-85 and tamron 70-300 any thoughts and can anyone suggest a good book please

Yes Ive seen that and half cost of tamron though less focal length Wonder if the tamrons IQ is suffiently better to justify extra cost Did read on one review of poor build on canon 50-250 loose elements

and yet more comparisons later - its definitely the 650d and as for lenses Tamron 17-50 (non VC) 2.8 (exc IQ) or the Canon 15-85 £250/£478 less flexibility on the Tamron and Tamron 70-300 zoom (heavy??) or Canon 70-300 IS USM £320/£330 would the missing 50-70 range be a real issue if I...

i've done some more research on the lenses and have come up with these so would welcome your views tamron 17-50 f2.8 or sigma 17-50 2.8 or nikon kit canon 80-250 or tamron 70-300 f4/5.6 tokina atx pro d 100 macro and either the canon 40mm pancake STM or the 50mm 2.4 USM

Yeah that seemed to be the main competitor to the 600d but the 650 now offers more - I think there may be a 5200 coming later in the year the 3200 (entry level) is now out

cheers my concern isn't the video af as the video isn't something I'd really be using that much at least, but how the hybrid af system works speed wise for stills (wildlife/ action) I believe its faster than the standard on both the 60d and 600d but was concerned that the optimum can only be...

Great start - doesn't bode well for my photography skills or more to the point lack of them :lol:

Hi all Just wanted to say hello, I'm based on the NE coast and I'm new to the hobby, moving up from a compact after much deliberation and have just posted about some help I'm looking for, reassurance that I'm not getting this all wrong. As my user name suggests I'm a keen reef keeper and want...

I'm keen on making a step up from my compact camera to a DSLR and have been trying to narrow down my choices of system and camera. I did think of a compact system but felt I'd get more for my money with a dslr and probably better spec too, size isn't really that much of an issue. My...
