I have a Canon 400D. I think its a great Digital SLR to start learning with. Very easy to use. Great range of lenses (thank to Col for that knowledge haah :domokun: ).

oh and my one other thing I will say is..

GET A GOOD TRIPOD! you will need a tripod. I got a average tripod when I got my camera, figured I wouldnt need one thats top of the range.. first day I used it part of it broke, and the part that holds the camera on broke.. denting part of my lense.. so yeah.. get a good one :domokun:

yeah id recommend the 400d or a second hand or discontinued new 350d or 300d if u can find them as they will be even cheaper and almost as good

plenty of lenses around 4 them and easy to use

i currently have a pentax ists which is pretty decent and they have dropped the price on them alot now so can pick 1 up for under a grand with 2 lenses which will be suficient :domokun:

One thing to remember if you check out the stats of a Cannon EOS 350D compared to a Cannon EOS 20D there isn't much difference between them at all. The 20D does offer some better specs in areas that you won't really use if you are just doing photography as a hobby. I am with everybody else here get a Cannon EOS 400D or a 350D. I use a 350D at indy last year and actually prefered it over the EOS 20D as it is easier to hold and nowhere near as bulky.

When it comes to picking a camera don't just go and spend money on one just because it is cheaper. Find one that is going to suit your needs because you may find the cheaper one doesn't offer the performance of one abit more expensive and you will find yourself updating your camera. Also another thing to remember if you are in the market for a tripod as well dont just buy a cheap tripod, buy a decent one straight away because one great tripod should last you a life time.

I say 400D or 350D for the win because it will last you ages and even thought the MP count on camera seems to be going up all the time I still find the images produced from a 350D pretty good.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
