Canon 300L 4.0 and the new Sigma 150 macro lens will be my next buy. These two together with my 400L 5,6 and Tamron 28-75 zoom + a Kenko 1,4 converter will keep me occupied for quite some time.

I have just bought the Sigma 120 - 300 f2.8 and 1.4 & 2 x teleconverters, wrapped under the tree! Can't wait till boxing day when I will get released to use them! Have a good Christmas

I suspect that today I will be purchasing the Nikon D50 so you guys might not see much of me for awhile - while I scratch my head a lot and figure out what I am doing with a dslr

Nice one K.C. From what I have heard, it is quite a straight-forward camera to use. Moderator AWOL?

I've just sold my Nikon 80-400 VR... Maybe get something in the new year, if the money is still there

probably the 70-200VR, so I can utilise my Nikon teleconverters with it and sell the little Kenko that I kept to use on the 80-400... but the 300/2.8 VR is crying out for me

LOL, I suspect it will be that or a pain-in-the-A Moderator asking a lot of questions

The D50 is very easy to use - everything is logical and pretty straightforward. The only thing that puzzled me at first was the inability to change metering modes - then I saw in the small print that the default setting was for a simple menu - first thing to do is change that to advanced then you have everything you need. I really hate it when you have to read the manual!!

Well, I'm back home and the Camera shop bag (big) is sitting on my counter and I have just stared at it for the last 1/2 hour.

Like you, I seldom read a manual until a couple of months down the road after I've played with my new toy. Then, while reading, I find myself saying "that's why it did that"

Beware Greypoint (Sue) is an undercover Nikon saleswoman in disguise that has infiltrated this and other forums.

Well we can't let Canon take over the whole photo world!
