rick Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 You got the 300D right? IM thinkin of upgrading to a 20D but i have to expand my knowlege on digital SLR before I go ahead.. Ive never shot SLR either So i may get a cheap SLR to get accustom to.. Yeah, I use a 300D. The 20D is really nice and if they had announced it a few months earlier I would have waited and got it instead of the 300D. Still, I have taken nearly 3000 photos in the few months since I bought my 300D and captured some wonderful images that I would not have if I had waited ... Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a cheap DSLR, the 300D is about as cheap as it gets new. The other option of course is to get something second hand. With the 20D just out, a lot of 10D users are upgrading and I have seen the 10D body go for around $1000 on Ebay. You will still need to get a lens for it, but you can get some pretty decent lenses around the $400 mark. I got my 28-105 f3.5-4.5 from ebay for $300 and it is a vast improvement on the stock 300D lens.

Lepperfish Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Cheers Rick, I have been reading about the 10D and 20D and the 20D just seems so much superior to the 10D that I wouldnt bother with the 10D.. Plus I dont think Id like to use someone else's camera.. Really would need it new if anything.. All the lenses you got for the 300D will work on the 20D correct?

rick Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 All the lenses you got for the 300D will work on the 20D correct? Yes, all of the EF series lenses as well as the new EF-S lenses work on the 20D. The EF are common across all the Canon EOS cameras but the EF-S only work with the 10D, 20D and 300D. The EF-S takes advantage of the smaller size of the CMOS Sensor used in those cameras compared to 35mm film. This allows them to make a shorter lens that sits a bit further back in the camera body. If you try and use the EF-S in a full size camera such as the EOS 1Ds or the 35mm film cameras, the mirror will catch on the end of the lens. I also use an EOS 300 film camera so I stick with the EF series lenses so that I can switch between my different bodies without any problems ... not that I use my film body very much any more Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Morelia Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Hey Lepperfish, those shots are awesome !! Grasshopper porn, LMAO !! Is that Kookaburra blind ? The Cunningham's Skink is cute. Gee, dunno what bridge that could be Here is a snap from my trip to the Chinese Garden of Friendship in Darling Harbour Yesterday (Thurs. 30th Sept) If you look close enough (or if i could've left the pic big enough ) near the bottom of the cascade, you can see some Koi, LOL. I love Koi and could've taken pics of them all day, but unfortunately when you've only got an 8MB Memory card and Mum instructs you to take "Heaps of pics of things other than animals" You can't take many Koi pics. Also saw what i think was a Red-eared Slider Terrapin (Definitely not a long-neck, and jet-black, about 30cm carapace length), and a sleepy Water Dragon allowed me to pick his tail up, but then he decided he'd had enough and attempted to latch onto my hand. I evaded him, and he went for a swim. Please ignore the Apartment Building in the background I have more pics of waterfalls, chinese buidlings and stuff like that if anyone wants to see them. The rocks in that place are amazing... Obviously not many Cichlid Keepers visit the place or there'd be no rocks left, LOL ! My camera is a Kodak DX3600. 2.2MP, 2x Optical Zoom. Piece of crap. Upgrading soon Serenity. Enjoy. Cheers, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Morelia Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 hey andy.. Its not a skink.. its a blue tongue lizard! Errr.... It's definitely not a Blue-tongue. It's a Skink of some species, although possibly not a Cunningham's as i first thought. I've kept both in captivity before and i know what they look like. Check with the people on the Aus. Herp Forum if you don't believe me Or have a look at This Link and compare a Cunningham's and a Blue-tongue (near the bottom of the page) In any case, a Blue-tongue is a Skink ! Gorgeous Sunrise. I wasn't sure about the kooka, so i thought i'd ask. Those flower shots are awesome, Guys. (Even though i can't stand flowers ) I can appreciate the shots. I prefer foliage plants myself. The weirder the better. Cheers, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herp Forum if you don't believe me Cheers, Andy Its definately a cunninghams skink, you can tell by the scales that are pointed and rearward facing. Its a defence mechanism used when they are being chased as prey they will puff themselves up in a crevice therefore using the pointed scales to lock themselves into place. Cheers, Alan.

Dark Morelia Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 WOW !! That Duck pic is great. The others are very nice as well. I do believe they're called "Bipods" You can buy proper (non-human) ones for the fronts of rifles. Cheers, Andy (PS... also from that website with "Bipods" are These Babies I'm still working on my parents for them for a christmas present. They seem to think i'm not trustworthy armed with a Katana and a pair of NV Goggles ??? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
