MrEnigma posted:I just picked up a 60D with the kit lens. 4-5 years ago I had a Digital Rebel (300D) so it's nice to be back. Got the 60D with the 18-135mm zoom, but now looking for something telephoto'ish. I used to have a 50-250 and then upgraded to the 70-200L f/4 without IS. The difference in quality between my 50-250 and 70-200 is AMAZING. If you can pay the extra, do it. I haven't missed the IS so far, I mostly shoot birds and wildlife with the lens, and so it's usually daylight and bright enough that I can get well over 1/200 shutter speed.

Yeah my 30D does RAW+all. I used to use RAW+L when I first got it, for about 2 weeks while I got used to processing RAW photos, just so I had a backup if I really screwed anything up. I never used the jpgs in the end, but I liked having them there for my own peace of mind while I got used to it.

I don't own a UV filter. I like to live dangerously.

I have 30mbps cards and after about 5 or 6 shots in a row the camera spends like 10 seconds trying to catch up and OH GOD WHY ARENT YOU TAKING PHOTOS OF THAT BIRD making GBS threads, CAMERA?

I just got the Tamrom 17-50 and the zoom ring goes the way Nikons do, which is the total opposite to how Canon lenses go, and holy hell is that going to mess with my brain.

So I ordered a 60D for my mom for her birthday from B&H last Sunday. I got it shipped by Purolator, as I always do, and figured it would arrive Thursday or Friday this week. When it didn't show up yesterday I was starting to get worried, but their whole tracking system was down so I couldn't see where it was. This morning I discovered that apparently the driver wanted an early start to the long weekend and listed my address as incorrect/doesn't exist. I've double checked. They are sending it to the right address. So now with the long weekend taking away an extra business day they have like two days to fix this gently caress up and actually send me the stuff.

Yeah, I loving hate that. I've had that happen a couple of times too with CP, it's really annoying. I called Purolator and the lady's going to fax the office to send my stuff again, except that because they're not going to receive the fax until after the trucks have gone out for the day, my camera's not going to get shipped until Wednesday, and my mom's birthday is on Thursday. So now there's literally no margin for error. I'm never using them again, that's for sure.

My mom's had a radioactive lens on her Nikon for over 30 years (we only found out about it when she got randomly tested at the aiport and the dude was like "ummm your camera is coming up as positive") and so far she hasn't grown any extra limbs so you're probably ok.

I had my 17-50 kit lens and it was fine, I never took my 70-200 during the time in Rome. Honestly, I think you could count on one hand the number of photos I took in Rome at >30mm

I shoot exclusively with a 30D and my photos rule. But yeah high ISO stuff sucks, though I've never had a problem tracking birds with it.

Use a shutter release cable with your left hand.

I only use my lovely remote release with my lens on manual, since mine is so cheap and lovely it hates to autofocus, so yeah that should work fine.
