cheers bro

bourbon · 07-09-2009, 11:00 AM

just thought id update yall'

so i bit the bullet, spent accouple of hundred more and getting a CANON 450D single lens kit...only got a single cause i didnt wanna pay anymore really...got it out of hongkong for $850...is still an aussie version but comes with overseas warranty...i still saved $600 so it doesnt worry me too much if its overseas warranty...all the lens' can be fixed over here by canon but the camera would have to go back...

Mad Mat · 07-09-2009, 11:06 AM

yer same here. i would love a 450D or something around that area please ryan..

bourbon · 07-09-2009, 11:13 AM

ryan had someone who had a 350D kit i think for about $500...

the 400D has been discontinued now...but a 450D is still avaliable, let me know if you want i can give ya details on where from...

project.r.racing · 07-09-2009, 11:16 AM

marcs_sp20 · 07-09-2009, 11:42 AM

what sort of lense would be best for motorsports?

Also ryan, im after a dslr too

Mad Mat · 07-09-2009, 11:56 AM

lol can anyone say GB with me

bourbon · 07-09-2009, 12:03 PM

well the place i got it from doesnt do group buys as they are pretty much the cheapest on the market in aus...you can get the jap version of mine which is called a kiss x2 but iwanted the aussie version...

the lens ive got with the camera is the 18-55mm...will look at a 75-300mm later i think...not on the top of my list atm...

Mad Mat · 07-09-2009, 12:06 PM

cool mate.

can u pm me the details please.

bourbon · 07-09-2009, 02:39 PM

also ryan sometime soon ill organise for you to teach me to use the thing to the max...

RustyKaos · 07-09-2009, 10:33 PM

Dont get the 75-300mm as it is a NON image stabilizing lens. Try the 70-200mm L series if you want high zoom or even the 17-85mm USM for a decent all rounder. Just be aware these lenses are not cheap but you will not regret it. Am getting the 50D with the 17-85mm USM in October (cheap deal from canon rep who is right into his motorsports photograhy). The 450D is a decent camera body but it really comes down to the lens especially if it is needed for quick photography.

Also if you want these lens I can prob get for you on the cheap if I buy it for you. Just to give you an idea tho the 17-85mm normally retails for $949.

bourbon · 07-09-2009, 10:37 PM

i wont be spending anywhere near that much on a lens anytime soon...the bigger lens for me doesnt need to be image stabalizing...

ive been looking at the 75-300 cause i have found it for $200...

bourbon · 10-09-2009, 03:08 PM

hey ryan...whats the ideal lens for sports photography??? not overpriced...ive been looking at the 70-300mm for around $220 with out IS...

if i get another lens atm it wont be over $400 definatly...i still gotta get a new bag, prob memory card & also wanna get a battery grip

project.r.racing · 10-09-2009, 07:04 PM

1 x bag = $30
2 x 2gig cards = $22

dunno if you really need a battery grip. just get another spare battery. $15-$20 from ebay.

under $400 isn't gonna get you much for a good fast lense. will have a look at whats currently available on the market and get back to you.

bourbon · 10-09-2009, 09:26 PM

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens

Canon EF 75-300mm F4-5.6 III USM Telephoto Zoom Lens

this is the same place i got my camera from, i dont no if these 2 would be worth it...

project.r.racing · 10-09-2009, 10:28 PM

55-250 comes in the 450D/500D twin lens kitd

75-300 comes in the 350D/400D lense kits

i have the 75-300 lense and it is useless above 250mm. but saying that. i have taken some good pics with it. the minimum appiture (f5.6) above 200mm make photos very dark at high shutter speeds. but some clever photo techniques can over come this problem.

the 55-250mm lense is the update to the above lense. i haven't tried it but hear it is better.
