Hey all

Thought you might appreciate a couple of shots of my new digital SLR. :cool: :cool:
It's a Sony Alpha 200 which came with an 18-70mm lens and I have bought an additional 70-300mm zoom by Sigma to go with her.  Really pleased and hope to get out an about soon to give her a proper try out :wink:

Ahh but you forget I am from Scotland, camera list price £400, bumpkin trawls around until he finds a model in a sale at £247 but the shop has none in stock and won't be getting anymore in, however willing to sell ex-display with 10% discount.  Cool says bumpkin, I'll go for that, hold on says shop we appear to have lost the battery pack, bumpkin having done homework knows that he can get a battery off ebay for £10 delivered, however camera shop charges £60!

"How much without the battery" says I, mutter, mumble "£180".  Done.

Then another ebay job for the brand new Sigma lens at £120 delivered so all in the entire lot cost me £310.  Bargain, especially since the lens was paid for by birthday money :wink: :D :D

Nice work Bumpkin

I'm a Canon person myself and was really hoping to get my hands on the new 7D before a recent airshow, alas it didn't make it in time so I had to opt for the 50D (a step lower than the 7D but higher than my previous/now backup 450D)

My big lens is the Sigma 120-400 f4.5-5.6. But I'm hoping before I go to Wanaka next year I'll have the Canon 100-400L.

Regards

Daniel

Nice camera and monster lens, good move. I'm always on the prowl for ex-display gadgets, there's some bargains to be had!

The 7D is basically the 50D with movie mode. So if you don't want the movie function
the 50D is better value.
