Canon comes up trumps again.... long wait till i finally got mesel a new dslr... a canon 40D with canon battery grip... decent price too... shame i didnt pay out for the one i really wanted.. couldnt justify the cost... but should hopefully see me through a good while yet... and hopefully meet up with the inveness flickr buddies along the way... a few may have had a bit of pratcice with the 40D I hear... :)
