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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
