Sunday evening, my dad said to me that[/u] he had seen an offer about a Canon eos 350D. for only ̢̢̮ââ¬Ã¡Ãâì499 :o

 

 

 

I was like, first I can use some handy lenses for my future camera, and now the same camera is 60 euros cheaper?

 

 

 

At monday the shop was closed, and today I come home from a trip to Germany (Dusseldorf), and my dad has bought it. :mrgreen:

 

 

 

I finally have it, been saving money since september :)

 

The batteries are loading, just have to wait for that.

 

 

 

And, as a present, my parents have bought a Sandisk 2GB CompactFlash card \'

That's great, I can't wait to see some of your shots. My SLR has made such a difference to my photography, though I will be saving for a Sigma 70-200mm F/2.8 EX DG HSM Macro for wildlife shots, then a Tamron 90mm F/2.8 Di Macro lens and eventually a 10-20mm lens but I'm not sure what one yet... :-k

 

 

 

Congratulations again, SLRs make your creative visions possible. (I wouldn't be surprised if this has been used as a marketing slogan!)

How much should I ask for my old camera? I've got a Fujifilm Finepix S7000 zoom, which cost ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã300 about 18 months ago. I've gathered a few accessories for it too: a 1GB xD card, an adapter ring that cost ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã30 and is like "Hens teeth" so kinda hard to get hold of since its been discontinued. I've also gathered a jessops close up +4 lens, a Hoya NDX8 filter, a jessops UV-1A filter, a jessops red filter and a jessops circular polariser. All of these fit the camera. I have the original papers for it, I've got a camera bag to sell with it and 8 batteries (rechargable)

 

 

 

I want to gather some money for my next lens, but I don't wanna sell it too cheaply, the filters and adapter ring set me back over ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã100 and the xD card cost about ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã70 and I don't think they've gone down in price too much.

 

 

 

Overall, the camera is in great shape and has everything it should, and it isn't a bad camera but I've got my SLR now and no longer use it so I thought it best to sell it.

 

 

 

Can anyone give me a ballpark figure for the asking price of it?

I've been saving some money for a new lens, Buuuut.

 

 

 

I've just turned 17 and my parents gave me a car and some paid driving lessons, I need to earn the insurance myself though.

 

 

 

I've also just tried to fix my phone, But now the screen won't turn on -.-

 

So more money for that.

 

 

 

 

 

Could be a while before I can get my hands on a new lens. -.-

Just a wee post to say that voting has started on this month's Photo Of The Month competition. I hope to have lots of votes to count up.

 

I must say though, I was somewhat disheartened to have so few entries. Let's not let this competition die off!

 

 

 

EDIT: POTM May

I was wondering,

 

 

 

When you have new photos, and connect your camera to your computer

 

Do you organize them by name, like Animals, Landscapes, People

 

 

 

Or do you keep them in folders, like 26-05-2007 or Trip 2?

 

 

 

Organise them into what they are.

 

 

 

So, Like you said, Landscapes, Nature, People etc..

 

 

 

Makes it much easier to find things.

I usually have a new folder for each month and then after 3 months, I make a new folder and put them in it. I divide them up through the year. It doesn't make things any easier to find though. :cry:

That pic was with my Canon, on self-timer. I had my friend stand there for 20 minutes to see the best picture angle. Took me 16 shots to get it right <.< Case you didn't know, that's the Tower of the Americas, and that board is a Blind deck with speed demon bearings and spitfire wheels <3<3<3<3<3

Cool, Im thinking about buying that one also. Im really into macro shots. I think Ill buy the EF-S though.

 

 

 

can anyone recommend a good polarizing filter, 58mm thread?

 

 

 

:) Im also looking for one. The Canon manual said something about a Canon Polariser, I have to check online how much it costs. If its too much, I think Ill buy one from B+W or Cokin.

 

 

 

 

 

And navy, welcome back. I thought you left, but you keep coming back :)

That lens is a great lens but is let down by the lack of USM which means you can't use a polariser for it.

 

 

 

@ Woopidoo2: Why would you want and EF-S version of that lens? Those lenses can't be used on film/full frame cameras should you upgrade in the future.
