Sounds interesting. Thanks. One question though, would I have trouble focusing close up with my 50mm with the extension tubes fitted? Thanks again.

Thanks for that. Could you perhaps be more specific?

Currently have the 18-55 kit lens, a 50mm F1.8 and a 55-200mm F4-5.6. Obviously the 55-200 is no good. The 50mm you have to be half way across the room to get the whole car in shot and the 18-55 can't focus close up. I have taken some shots with the 18-55 and 50, and they weren't bad, but...

Hello all. Hope you don't mind me asking a question that has probably been asked a hundred times before. Tried doing a search, but it is difficult to define sometimes. Anyway, want to photograph some models with my 400d. These are unfortunately of the car variety, not the people...

Got mine today :) Although 5 days to deliver was a bit of a pain.

Exactly right. And for me, this being my first SLR camera, the 400d should do nicely. The only thing I can myself needing reasonably shortly would be a different lens or two.

Thanks madferrit. I was thinking the same thing. Awesome camera, no matter what happens next. Well, been playing a little more and as before, everything seems ok. Also, discovered that the reason the ebayer doesn't use paypal is because he uses Google Checkout. Maybe not as good as...

Well, I did decide to go for it in the end and here it is: I have taken a few shots and everything seems ok. It is even better than I imagined :) Now all I have to do is learn how to use it.

Gazbag, I have read that Canon are launching the 450D soon, but I would still expect it to take a few months for the price of the 400D to be affected. Not that patient I am afraid :) Photostar 1, according to the advert, that price is including the lens. That is why I thought it was such a...

Wow, great response, cheers. Thanks for the heads up regarding the 30D, but to be honest, I would prefer new. Also, being a complete novice I doubt I would benefit from the extra capabilities of the 30D over the 400. Yeah, I noticed that the seller didn't accept paypal, which I thought was...

Thanks WanderingMind. Yeah, already thinking CF cards :) Was thinking of something like this: http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=132281 Just one thing. Is the 133x really much faster?

Thanks for the welcome halesowenkid. I know what you mean about the price. It is almost a 'so what's the catch?' situation. Anyway, like you say, I am sure the guys on here will let me know. Cheers.

Hi all. Just joined what looks to be a great forum. :) Anyway, been looking to get a 400d for a while now and came across this last night: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=270201854135&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=017 What do you guys think? Is that a good...
