My new 20D + lens

[phredy]

Folks, would like to thank you for all the info I gleaned off this

discussion group over the past 2 months.

Have sold my Sony 828 and bought a 20D with the 50mm 1.8 and the

28-135mm IS USM lens.

Will miss a few things about the Sony, like the movie mode and and

being able to "bend the body" but the quality of the pictures with no

more "purple fringing" and no more grain...wow!

Congratulations!

That's not quite right. There is a movie mode even on the 10D. Have a look at <a href="http://www.heydenaber.de/leer.htm">the road to fokstugu</a>.

REALLY? Is there a movie mode on the 10D?

Hi Phil, good to see you headed in the right direction.

Congrats, Phil! I took the plunge two months ago: 20D + 28-135mm IS USM lens. I already had the 50mm 1.8 which I bought with the Rebel Ti a year ago.

 

I took a photo of a friend's daughter and she posted the picture on the Net. I visited her site recently and someone commented on the photo (I'm translating), "This picture doesn't look like it was taken with a digital camera."

Nice one, Christof! The earliest such thing that I remember was 'London to Brighton in Four Minutes', a black-and-white film shot from a camera mounted on the front of a steam locomotive. The journey normally took an hour.

Thanks Christof, had a good giggle at the "movie" (what, no sound?), and thanks everybody else for their comments. have posted some pics taken with my "old" Sony 828 in "my portfolio" (Phils pics), have no idea how to direct anybody to see them, but have put one up for ctitique

Thanks again folks.

Phil.
