they can get in to silly money, a friend has a 800mm Cannon lens that cost ££££, but by heck he can use it and the pictures are amazing Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I agree you can spend a lot of money, that's the good thing about that website, you can see what difference the additional money will make. With the right matched lens and camera you can get great pictures without spending a fortune.

One of the best camera bodies out there is a Canon 40D, the pixel density and space between them gives superb results, if you can get a low count 40D they are a gem, that was my previous camera, moved onto full frame now, prefer landscapes to birds on sticks. Sadly collecting lenses with red rings is also part of the hobby, a rather expensive part

Photo's have dwindled some what over the last few months, let's get more of your pics on here, enjoyed by everyone

Yes it is quite a tricky subject to see how good a lens will be with the camera body as some are better for crop sensors, etc. I use this site to check what the sharpness (megapixels) I will get using a specific lens on the camera body. dxomark.com

If you followed the advice of this website you'd never buy canon crop dslr's and lenses. I suggest that you also look at real world results rather than just rely on just one website.
Back to topic. Really nice photo's

I started off with a Canon 350D, which we had for ages and to be fair didnt really see the light of day until holidays came around, oh how that has changed, the photography bug well and truly got hold When I decided I would like to take things a little more seriously a couple of years ago I upgraded to a Canon 60D and love it......would I like a full frame?....most certainly yes, but I think that is going to have to wait for that boat coming in so for now I shall bimble along as I am.

Re dwindling photos.....careful what you wish for Now I have worked out how to upload from Flickr (thanks for your help npinks) there will be more from me. Cant guarantee they will all be Freelander related but rest assured any photos that appear on here....the Freely will have got us there....so I guess that counts....I hope
