Cheers nick, thanks for the advice, i have found some cracking prices from a website called slr hut, they are selling the 550d for £480 with the 18-55mm lens, i have never heard of them before?? So i am a bit skeptical of buying from them

I am a Canon user and like the system but if I was on a tight budget and needed a range of different lens types I would have a hard look at Nikon. The reason being that most of the older Nikon lenses will fit the new DSLR bodies.
With Canon thanks to the auto focusing system the older much cheaper lenses will not fit the new DSLR mount. It is true that you can buy a converter mount which is expensive and in some people's eyes are unreliable.

Hi David, can't take credit for the photo as I did not take it. I thought it was a funny shot, even funnier as I know the guy. He is a very talented occasion photographer and works a lot in the far East.
Have to agree with Peter, stunning shots. I must get a 100mm macro lens. Spent the afternoon in the garden and came away with some rubbish insect shots.

Out of interest what were you working with here. Looking at this image again it struck me how sharp the image is across the board. Given that I would have expected the lens to be opened up because of the lack of light, you seem to have nailed the exposure.
