Of course, being an american orianted program the british seemed to keep saying “bloody hell bloody hell sod off sodding” 😉

The AF crash was really intresting to watch, seemed to have got all the detail in there 🙂

The man doesn’t seem remotely bothered by the plane! Suppose he’s used to if, if I had a job like that I’d never get anything done…

I like the jet2 one 😀 It’s shiny 🙂

Ooooh err it’s so lovely…

Sometimes I wish we’d get some decent traffic down here!

The last shot is well kool, espically with the lighting.

I think the shots are excellent, personally! Espically consediring the stick the kit lens gets! 🙂

Adam, how did you know it was a Sony Ericsson?! Been checking out the EXIF data?

Paul

Teehee. The browser I use has an inbuilt EXIF reader so it’s pretty kool. Use an SE w800i myself, excellent handset, takes some good shots and is well handy when you don’t have a cam with ya!

Kool shots. Like the jet2 approach one, dad was on a flight in the bad weather and he said everyone was throwing up and crying! 😮 😀

What lens do you use Matt? 🙂

By the way, I forgot to mention the last photo, the El Al 737, was actually taken with my mobile phone and edited the usual way in CS2! 😀

Excellent shot for a phone. Seems Sony Erricson got the marketing right with that model then!

Thanks again both of you 🙂 I’d be lost without yee!

The 350d seems like a good choice after researching. The kit lens has got a bit of stick, but then again as soon as I get my tele lens (about being looking at the cheap 50mm, which looks pretty kool) I’d doubt I’d use it much again!

Think I’m settled on it now. The only thing I need to do know is choose which lens. It’s a choice between the Canon 75-300mm III USM or the Sigma 75-300mm DG Macro (btw whats the difference between the lens with APO and without?

Sorry about all the questions, can never seem to make my mind up 😀

Cheers,
Adam 🙂

-Thread Bump-

I’m stuck, again! Had a go on the e-500 today in Currys. After having a think about it, I don’t think I like it that much. It felt too big for my hands and not very “clean” to hold, but the UI was alright and controls ok. Also, the twin lens kit is out of stock everywhere, unsure wether they are going to be getting stock again.

Regrettably, I did not try the 350d but I see it’s in jessops for £399. The problem is, that’s with the kit lens and I wouldn’t be able to get a decent tele lens for about a month.

The 350d seems my last possible option now. Although it does seem like an excellent camera, even without the dust reduction. Do you guys reckon its worth biting the bullet and just going for it even without the tele photo lens? The 18-55mm might be a bit too useless for aviation photography, then again I’ve never used it.

Cheers everyone,
Adam
