Righto - so ill be recieving the camera shortly.

But how do i figure out how to use the mofo?

Are the instructions that come with the camera extremely detail (and sort of tutorialistic? - note the professional usage of made up words :D ).

Or are there tutorials that you've found useful in your prior photographic education on the internet that you've found extremely beneficial when first starting out in big-time photography? Things even as simple as a gloassary, are where id like to start from and work my way up.

Regards,

Dave.

dont forget if you buy overseas you won't get warranty...

are you 100% sure on that???

my brother inlaw looked into it when he was looking to get a new camera and the CANON dealer said that the body has a World wide warranty but the lenses dont.

So you could buy a cheap body from US or HK and get your lens locally with the money that you save.

I've been wanting to get into photograhpy for a long time and was looking at the 300D as i take a lot of action shots (motorsport mainly :P ) and was told it was that of the 5D to be the pic of the lot.

Anyway just curious thats all.

PS: d-d can you PM me and let me know where you got your camera in the end and what sorta deal you got, im still keen on getting the bugger!!!!

grandmasterb; don't get a 300d, 350d, 20d, or 5d if you want to spend big

not looking at spending big really.

But you wouldn't believe what camera's cost here in Tassie.

I was hoping to walk away with a "GREAT" camera for under 2K and maybe a memory card???

350d with a memory card will be well below $2k

if you want a decent lens though, you'll have to double your budget

it might be where you come from champ but not here.

I was looking at over 2K for the camera alone :P

Lens is not a big issue to start with seeing as im only starting out and as mentioned in this post there is an ok lens for $300ish which should be fine.

ebay is your friend.

ebay is your friend.

Yeah just was a little skeptical about buying off Ebay after hearing a few stories <_<

I'll look into it a little further though.

If i was to buy the 350D what lens would you recommend without breaking the bank???

Cheers GMB

depends on what you're going to be taking photos of?

depends on what you're going to be taking photos of?

mainly action shots.

motorsport

drift

bikes

stunt riding

motoX

golf

wakeboarding/skiing

out on the boat

fishing

all of the above really :P

For any sports action photography you'll need a fast lens with long zoom. Playing with my Sigma I think it'll do the job pretty well but waiting for a good event to take advantage of it. If I was cashed up I'd get the Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS USM but that lens is just two words... CHING CHING! :P

its well worth it though :)

has anyone bought the canon ISUX 55 digital camera.. Im thinking of purchasing this, but if anyone here has one, can you please give me your little review please before i purchase one soon..

thanks for the help..

I'll just tell ya here!

I was going to get it from JB-Hi-Fi (as i too, was skeptical about spending big money on ebay no matter how good the sellers 'rating' is). But in the end, my grandpa ended up chipping in aswell and we bought it from the local camera store. I think the camera itself was $1350. He also bought about 4 additional lenses but he is going to give them to me for my 21st in early March. So ill let you know what they were and what price when i recieve them!!

Regards,

Dave-o.

much appreciated :)

No dramas. :)

That price was for the Canon 350D Kit. (Just to clarify)

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 :)

upgrading from a 350d to a 20d is kinda pointless

they're basically the same camera

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
