Iain, my old 35mm camera is an F401.

When it came to 35mm Nikon > Canon. In the DSLR world Canon > Nikon.

i dunno im sorta going for nikon > canon in DSLR at the moment

canon see to be driven by marketing megapixels. right now a 21mp camera wont give you a better pic than something with less megapixels. the sensors are too noisy and the software cant 'fix' the noise.

they havent actually done anything to the cameras except put higher MP sensors in them. take the 5D mk2 for example. they threw out the best thing from the 5D and didnt put it in the Mk2, and that was the sensor.....

So did you end up gettin the mkII or the d700!

yeh totally agree on the MP thing, honestly the megapixel war is over, we're at a point where it's so good going any higher really doesn't matter anymore. Well for amatuers and enthusiasts atleast.

you wont regret the speedlight if you get one. It opens up a whole new world when you start using flashes mate. but you can spend hours and hours its so good experimenting.

if you havn't been to this website yet.. go http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/02/we ... obist.html

just abit of reading for when you're bored.

Hopefully if my car sells soon-ish i might consider saving up for a tokina 11-16. extra wide baby, its how i like em ;)
