Welcome, what are you looking for, do you know which make ect or just going to go on recommendations?
 
Hi
Canon's preferably, like I said, aviation based so I'm looking for full kit, body, smaller lens and telephoto lens. . Its a shame I can't get on classifieds.

Cheers
Ben
 
Hi,
Jessops are selling Canon 500d plus 2 lenses, std kit lens 18-55,55-200.Approx £600
I have a 500 as a second body,excellent piece of kit.My mate was advised to buy one recently by Harrisons on London Rd as he sells his stuff on iStore and apparently they prefer the 500 to the 550d.He tells me he has had more of his work excepted since using the 500.
If the 200 is a bit short try getting a body, they are still available but will probably become more difficult to obtain as Canon are selling them off in kit form.
 
Cheers Alto

I was umming and ahhing between the 500 and 550. So were saying no real difference?

Cheers
Ben

Ay oop lads, I'm comin' up theer on business next month with a one neet stop o'er an' ah'm wonderin' if theer's owt to tek pictures of at neet in't City centre so whether to encumber misel' wi' camera an' lenses an all: whadd'ya reckon?
 
Aar doo tikka, that's a reyt good accent thars got there. What sort of stuff do you like to shoot?

Hi Ben,
Apparently the 550 produces more noise than the 500,hence the reason Harrison's advised my mate to purchase the 500 knowing the demands of iStore.General rule of thumb is put your money into the glass,bodies are always being updated to cater fads and loose value fairly quickly,good lenses tend to hold their price so not such a disaster if you choose a lens that doesn't meet your needs.
 
I've ended up buying a 500d with the kit lens for just shy of £400 and a Sigma 70-300mm APO DG MACRO lens.
