Yeah, it looks like you are . It says "photos are currently unavailable".

[Ginger Tosser]

Just incase anyone's about to order any Canon Eos Stuff (and a few other things) - you might want to hold off until the 7th March.

Good stuff - keeping the thread alive

I was out and about yesterday in the fog, but didn't really get that much I liked, maybe this one taken with the D200 and a 35mm prime.

[Yakumo]

Man, I haven't seen fog in a long time. We don't really get any where I live.

Eos 1DmkII 200mm f/2.8 L 1/3200 f/2.8

[Yakumo]

Dude! Knarlly (sp?) shot, man. Whacked out to the max.

Seriously though, that's a lovely shot.

[Yakumo]

I grabbed a few shots tonight just before I started my jog.

Thats an awesome shot, fantastic contrasts and well framed. 1dmkII though, nice bit of kit that, plus im a sucker for B&W.

Ok sold my fujifilm x10 and nikon d7000 got, just waiting for my 50mm prime to come through an im back out shooting again, cant wait

[MartyG]

The D7000 is a great camera - I'd have suggested the 35mm over the 50mm prime though, still a great lens but less versatile on a APS-C sensor.

I went for the 50mm as theres new non nikon primes for ?90 on amazon, with all the reviews saying the image quality is exactly the same as the nikon one, barring the build quality of course. As im on a budget at the mo i plumped for that, plus im not exactly a pro so will be learning how to re think my shots with a prime for a while i think.

When i get some more dough ill take you up on that advice however. Got the camera fro ?400 second hand which was too good to miss, still has a year warranty too and the sender sent the original receipt so i can register it, which was a big bonus, so mega happy after a bloody hard week .

Edit. Seems the lens has gone missing, been marked as delivered but hasn't been left, very annoying, so ordered the 35mm to my work address and will have to sort the missing one out with amazon. The camera looks lonely without a lense on.

Yo, I've decided to take Marty's advice and go with a more proper camera.

This one caught my eye:

http://slrhut.co.uk/product/ID794C4/google?gclid=CIHQ-4bHg7YCFcrHtAodn3cAzg

Panasonic DMC-GX1 with pancake X lens.

I can't quite figure out.... can you use normal CSC lenses with this camera, or does it have to be Panasonic specific?

Any comments on the camera? I'm going to Hawaii, so I wanted something small enough to carry around, but that would still take great pics. I had a look at photos for the Canon S100 and wasn't convinced they were much better than my Ixus 70, but this GX1 looks significantly better.

Also, why is it so cheap at slrhut? At WEX it's ?450+ with a lens, but I can't work out if it's even an X lens.

[Brad]

Takes micro four thirds lenses. Available from panasonic, Olympus, leica, sigma. Great system IMO.

[MartyG]

Aye nice camera the GX-1 Kai likes it. As FSW said it'll take any 4/3rds format lenses.

Looks like SLRHut is a US company so it's possible these are imports - they seem to have good reviews as a company though (never heard of them before myself).
