yeah well i was thinking Ebay but not sure who to deal with or just take a stab in the dark and just buy the cheapest 20D package i can find!!!

Or do i pay a little extra and just buy the body from a shop and get the lens, card and accessories from Ebay???

<_<

Guys Guys Guys STOP RIGHT THERE!!!

You buy cannon cameras so that you can have their LENSES NOT THE BODY!!!!

With out lense its USELESS!!

Get camera with Good lense. FULL STOP!!!

cheers

Joe

lol

what on earth are you talking about joe

not bad

although it comes with no lens :)

thats a good thing

buy that

and then buy a tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens for your walkaround lens

or whatever lens you want to buy

saving yourself money, and you dont get dodgy kit lenses

Yeah i realise that the lens is what makes the photo.

But my point was that camera was pretty expensive considering it didn't come with anything else.

Im in two minds at the moment.

1) Do i just hold off and buy a 20D with the 90-300mm Canon lens

2) Get the 350D with a better lens and go from there!!!

90-300 lens is shit.

it seems like youre only buying a 20d to wank over, rather than use the extra features, so just get the 350d with a good lens

Well no i wanted to get the 20D as its a better camera and i belive that once i get used to it and all the features and be able to shoot in manual mode then i can get better photo's for what i want to do.

I said the 90-300 lens as thats what would come with the camera if i bought it locally here in the shops.

I know its a tad to slow for what i want and didn't plan on using it for very long.

Was going to look at either Tamron AF 28-75mm f/2.8 to start or save about $1200 and buy the Canon 70-200.

No its the photographer that makes the foto, not the camera nor the lens. Both are just an extension of their eye!! :tongue:

But yes lens's are more important than bodies when it comes to sharpness, contrast & overall pic quality.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
