If you're 'serious' and if you make use of the full Photoshop package then it's obviously the one for you, fair enough. I also 'tweak' but just don't feel the need for more than an old version of PSP...

I think the thread is still addressing the main point. What's important is to as much or as little pc work as you want and not feel pressed to lay out cash on the most super powerful software just...

There's a difference between a bit of cropping and tweaking and full scale processing. All my pictures are cropped a bit and tweaked but that can be done with free software. Having spent time...

Photoshop - when paid for in full [!]- may be the best photo editor there is but can be overkill for most amateurs. It may be the best and the 'industry standard' but there sometimes seems to be a...

Never got into home processing with film so I really like being able to put my pictures onto my laptop and play around with them. As my photos are strictly amateur I've never felt the need to pay out...

Another thought that I've been perusing is a Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 [can be picked up second hand quite easily] and 2x converter. I used this set up on a Nikon D50/D70 and it was rather good. You have a...

I'm currently using the 70-300 IS - bought to replace the very good but heavy Sigma 100-300 F4 I had before. At the moment I'm still in the process of evaluating it. It's certainly a big improvement...

And don't forget Irfanview - still the one I use for viewing, re-sizing and sorting photos and free of course. Let's hear it for freeware!

Well, being digital, it costs nothing to have a go - the camera is much more suited to non action stuff. You may not succeed in getting the sort of things you're after but you might get the odd lucky...

Well, job done - 70-300 bought and Sigma 100-300 sold. Very pleased so far. Lightweight, focussing not quite as fast but OK. Keeping IS in mode 2 to allow for panning seems to work well. Small crops...

All the systems have pros and cons - as I never buy things like flashes and stick to a couple of lenses [bought s/hand to avoid depreciation], I've never had any qualms about switching systems. Canon...

Thanks Sassan. I did have a 70-200mm f4L when I had my 30D and agree it's a nice lens, but not quite long enough, and I had a 70-300 Sigma for my Nikons. Fortunately I bought the 100-300 at a very...

Thanks for help and suggestions. Still undecided. Used the 100-300 this morning in fair to reasonable light but still needed highish ISO to achieve the sort of shutter speeds I felt I could happily...

Thanks Harry - I think one of those straps would be a good idea whatever the lens attached - much more comfortable than the Canon one i should imagine.

Quandary!

I have a Sigma 100-300mm f4 HSM - I actually bought the lens second hand before I got a camera to use it on. It is a very good lens and on the 40D it is a very fast focussing lens - even adding a...

But if thinking of a 170-500 be sure to try it first. I had one for two days before returning it - not so much the quality more the physical length and general awkwardness of the lens. My own current...

Yes but it's the ability of cameras to take things more easily and quickly as you go up the range, that can make all the difference. Why only today I managed at least 30 rubbish low light shots of...
