If you're serious about sport photography, then do consider the 20D, because its burst mode is 5fps, where as the 350D is only 3fps.

I planning to take martial arts photos, and within that split second, there's a huge diference between 5fps vs 3fps !!

yeah thats cool.

I just checked the quote i got there and it was for the 20D not the 350D.

The guy at the shop got me talking to one of the sports photograhers down here and he uses the 20D and or the 5D for his work.

SO might look at going down the road when i save a little more $$$'s :D

Cheers B

lol, you dont need burst mode for sports photography if you're any good

Yeah thats also what i was recommended from the guy at the camera shop as he said it would be easy while starting out.

Or he just wanted to sell me a more expensive camera :lol:

Well seeing as im not any good im sure i will need it to start :)

Hehehe I must be getting old .. cause I cant seem to take a photo of a hit to the head during a sparring competition.

Seriously, it's like taking photo of a boxing match. Trying to capture a hit to the head is almost imposibe, because even at 5fps is too slow. Might even need 8fps .. of course this doesn't apply to many sport .. because the contact time is so short...

train yourself not to use it

I will try Obi one

I can see your point with boxing and martial arts and i think its similar with motorsport, but i would love to be able not to rely on burts mode to get the shot!!!!

timing.

its better to take a few good shots when the moment is right, rather than 10000 shots where 90% of them are crap

having said that, do you think im better off waiting till i have enough to buy a 350D or 20D with the Sigma 70-300 lens or get a cheaper film SLR for about $400-600 and start with that???

Taking into consideration im starting out with photography and know about as much as i do about ballet, FARK ALL :lol:

the 350d has 95% of the features the 20d has, i dont really a see a point in you going for the 20d other than for the sake of it

the 350d has 95% of the features the 20d has, i dont really a see a point in you going for the 20d other than for the sake of it

so other than the menu set features/set up and the shutter speed there isn't really a huge difference between the do, just price tag???

Sorry for another dumb noob question

but when im looking at camera's online from places like Ebay what does it mean when it say's thre not a REBEL or REBEL XT???

What price should i look at spending on a new 350D and when im looking at getting a memory card would a couple of 1GB cards be fine and is there a brand that i should look for with advantages over the others? EG: read/write speeds

Cheers B

Canon Digital Rebel = 300D

Canon Digital Rebel XT = 350D

as for memory cards

kingston and sandisk are both good, and they both have their ranges of high speed cards

get a 1gb or 2gb card

Cheers darK

Hey, I would be extremely happy to have a 10% success rate :)

Hehehe .. OK, how about a challenge :) ?? Can I get you to go and take a photo of a pigeon in flight in manual mode .. try to time it at full wing span :) .. See how 'good' your timing is :) .. I'm just darn too slow .. and prefer to depend on a 5-8fps camera, if I want to take photos of fast moving object.

d-d have you had a chance to use it yet and if so what do you think for a beginner???

I'll have it in about 2 weeks. Ill PM you then :)

Canon Digital Rebel XT = 350D

Correct. However, i think the American version of the 350D is called the Rebel XT. Whereas the Australian version is just the '350D'.

So maybe there is a slight difference between the Rebel XT 350D and the Aussie 350D. Was what i found from readings...

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
