haha. mine is at canon service right now from a shutter failure.
It better be fixed when they ship it back.
Sucks to have auto focus in the lens and not in the body.
And sucks to have your camera fail in any matter. My XT is still going strong, 16k clicks and about 8 months old.
got my camera back today, its like reuniting with a long lost love.
nice. mine is still in acceptance status since last week. BS.
im looking for a camera for my gf. i know nothing about cameras. I just know she was really interested in the canon 30d and 40d. what are essential lenses to get? I dont want to ask her too many questions without tipping her off that I am looking for a camera for her. and why are ebay prices so much cheaper than other retailers and ebay claims everything is new?

there are also USA models and "grey" models that comes from other country which makes the cost cheaper.
40Ds are in the 9xx.00 right now which is a pretty good price.
as for a lens, what's your budget. lol
ive taken hundreds of pictures today, HUNDREDS (wedding, 2 car shows) i think this is the best...

Id take a 40d over a 30d anyday. As for lens, depends on what she wants to shoot. If you have a wallet and want a nice every day lens, the Canon 17-55mm f2.8IS is a great lens. Or just get the lens that comes on the 40d(17-85mm IS or 28-135mm IS).Quote:

with the 100-400mm @ 400mm
Pretty cool shot, I want to rent the 100-400mm sometime for motocross, looks like a fun lens.
For those who missed this: Free Smugmug straps and stickers! They sent me two straps and a set of stickers. I replaced the stock Canon strap with the Smugmug strap and its much more comfortable.

I think I have a free trial Smugmug account, but I just put my username for the Canon POTN forums and they sent me the stuff for freeeez.
nice. make sure you get a roscolux gel sample booklet. i waited like 3 months and i melted some in one day. lol
Yea i just got made pack too, i ordered that strap like 4 months ago and nothing lol. 9g whats you setup, lens's

I havent melted mine yet lol. How are you holding yours to the flash?
Shot my third local MMA event. Used the 35L again and had some good results. I was using a new A-data 8gb(I know, kinda cheap) memory card and got an Err 99 once, scared me to death. I turned the camera off, then back on, and it was fine. Hope I dont have any issues with it again, my XT has close to 20k accuations on it now. Think its about time to pickup a 40d and use the XT as a backup :(

Any editting tips on the colors? Im not sure if I like the way they are, I have Photoshop and Lightroom and didnt do anything to process the colors.
You guys are slacking, go out and take some pictures!
I was bored tonight so I decided to take some pictures of my bike strobist style. I only have one flash so I manually triggered the flash during a long exposure. Tips and critique please! My first time doing a night strobist, the only light available was my flash.

Good looking pics, and beautiful bike!
My 58mm Sigma DG Wide Polorizing lens are broken, damnit.
Had them mounted on the XT on a tripod on uneven ground and as I was adjusting the tripod's legs it fell over... Now the filter won't turn. Brought them to a photography store and they tried benting the rim out, didn't work. Agh... wanted to use it for my cousin's wedding that just past. Bought them a few days before the wedding.... Wasted $115
nice pics seth!
my sigma 8mm fish eye always smelled burnt for some reason.
Seth 2nd one is on point, the 1st one is ok just a lil dark. Also do you shoot in RAW?
took about 1200 some photos this past weekend in STL and after doing editing was down to 890. so it's hard to pick just a few. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b7...n/eb14a161.jpg

I love that last pic.
I just picked up a Sony A300 two weeks ago. Since I dont know nothing much about photography I figured it would be a good starter camera. I am still reading through the booklet to see everyting that it has.
I only shoot in RAW.Quote:

Yeah, especially when you are in a rush and cant set the wb properly. Only time I shoot in jpg is when I need the constant burst and raw fills up the buffer in 6 shots on the XT :(
Bringing this thread back. Thinking about buying a used Canon 70-200mm f4 or Canon 200mm f2.8 instead of a 40d. Then get a 40d + grip come incometax return time.
Anybody use either lesn? Ive used the 70-200mm f2.8 and it rocked.

sample photos from my canon ef-s 18-200mm IS + canon rebel xt.
the IS is hungry on juice. good thing i have a battery grip (with 2 li-on batteries)
I had the 70-220 F4 and it was a great lens and sharp as shyt. I wish i never sold it :(Quote:

I sold my Sigma 10-20mm, going to get a Canon 70-200mm f4 or 85mm f1.8 next.
