Thank you! I've done as you said, installed the 32bit version (as per my OS) and it plays! :D But it plays it in slow motion, with intermittent sound :thinking: Any other ideas kind people? Joe :)

Hello, I've got a feeling I might need a new computer, but am hoping not as I can't afford the expense at this moment in time! Anyway, my laptop (Gateway MT6915b) struggles to play the video (HD 1080 I think) from my Lumix TZ20. The spec of my laptop - according to gateway - is...

Does anyone know if an SLR version will support a 450d with a 55-250mm lens? It says it supports up to 800g, and the above is apparently about 865g (busted scales at the mo so I just got those weights off t'internet)... I'm thinking maybe they under-advertise the recommended weight...

I'm in, and will be propping up the bottom of the table :D

Yeah I didn't think it was quite worth what they were asking, no doubt all the tanks and upkeep are huge costs to them, but it was a bit much for an hour or two... Joe :)

I ordered one (450d) from Amazon on Monday (7th), it said that thing about "order it in the next few hours to recieve it by Tuesday 8th" but I thought i'd just get the 'super saver' delivery as it was free and i'm now skint. But it turns out that they have a 'Delivery estimate' of 15th July -...

Good stuff, I'll have a mooch down to Jessops etc this weekend and see what the 450d feels like... Ta! Joe :)

Well thanks for the continuing feedback/advice, tis much appreciated :D I maybe should have said (I could have made a more informative introduction really :|) that i'm taking my first step into the world of DSLR. I want to take pictures of said animals etc, but I just want to improve on...

Hmm well thats a thinker :thinking: If I went for the hire option, it would cost me £80 for the 100-400mm (although it would need to be for around 16 days), it would weigh about 280g more than the 55-200mm but would enable me to take much better snaps, which brings me neatly onto my...

Well thanks for all the replies! :thumbs: From what i've read on here, the 55mm-200mm lens does get some good reviews. I should have said that weight will be a bit of an issue (15kg for two weeks) as well as the budget (unfortunately £1000 for a lens is well over! :( ). So at the...

Hi, first post so be nice! :help: Basically, I'm going to Tanzania in September and want a half decent DSLR to shoot the big cats etc (not with a gun of course :bonk: ). Firstly, I'm looking at getting the Canon 450d... My bro has an old Canon EOS SLR with a lens that has '28mm-90mm' on...
