Love the shots Keith, what lens did you take the air-air ones?

Hello NWSRG,

I'm also in the market at the minute looking for digital camera stepping up from mx IXUS400.

I'm tempted by the SI 1S, but also have a voice in my heading shouting 300D 300D! :E
I found lastnight online 300D kit with the 18-55mm lens for sale for £642, but then £100 cashback (that makes it £542 I think :D ) but then there I have to go and buy a decent lens, preferably 300mm :D

I'm thinking of sticking with Canon, hence 300D or SI 1S and no mention or others such as Minolta or Nikon.

I just dont know, I like that idea of the equivalent of 380mm zoom with the S1 IS, but the quality and flexibility of an SLR, just not the price lol:(

Yep, seen the EOS 300D offer too...had a look on EBay to see if I could pick up a decent zoom lense for one, but no joy so far.

Still thinking of the A200...7 x optical plus an 8Mpixel resolution...the 4 x digital zoom should work pretty well with that sort of resolution...or will it?

I'm also thinking that I can get a telephoto add-on for the A200 which would take it to a 10.5 x optical...or SLR equivalent of 28 - 300mm...which sounds pretty neat. And then the digital zoom could take that to 600mm, 900mm or 1200mm!! Am I doing my sums right?

Speechless:

'fraid not, the 300D uses EF lenses, not FD

For those of you contemplating "digital Zoom" - Don't. It is basically just cropping the picture and remember that cutting the picture size by half ie. digital zoom x 2 is to square root the definition (No of pixels)

NWSRG,
Since I can't PM or e-mail, had to dig up this thread :)

Regards to zoom lenses, there is the Canon EF 75-300mm USM III around for £120 if that's any help.

The £100 casback runs until the end of Jan 05, and if I think you can also claim a 256mb CF card from Canon before the end of this month,

HTH
