Hmmmm..... So what your saying is, the T1i is too good for cheap lenses (produces too much resoultion) so since you can't afford better lenses, you went back to a camera which produces less resolution, and now your taking better shots ? Uhhh, okay. Personally, I wish I could afford a 1Ds Mk III, or at least a 5D II, and a bunch of awesome L glass...... but what the hey, the T1i is by far the nicest camera I've ever owned. I'm...

Great!!! I guess the Windows 7 issues has gone away. I tried a 5 image bracket and had no trouble. But it appears you solved the problem. Now you are really hedged. Of something happens to one program you should be skilled at the other.

I've got a flash and a tripod. But what I am after is a second lens. I ask the question because I like to hear from those who are experienced. Seeing if they can share some insight with me. So I am interested in knowing what lens people could not live without besides the kit lens.

Much better than the kit, very sharp starting at f/2.8. This is the only good thing that I can say about that lens. Its AF is very erratic, contrast and colors are not great. There is often (but not always) something sharp in...

Now that you've gotten all the fishes in one place, just wanted to say thanks for sparking an interesting debate on the long lens decision process. I was considering the Sigma 50-500 myself and this thread does nothing to discourage that since the juzaphoto comparison shows the IQ holds up very well against the venerable 100-400 and gives some extra reach without a TC. The lack of OS may not be as big a concern as I feared, based on...

damn.... everything I bought so far are Grey imports - except 50 f1.8. and I only live 5 minutes from them! but at the same time, everything I bought has been so much cheaper than stuff imported through official channels, i bought my 1000D for $780 6 month ago, when the NZ products were around 900 mark. the I wonder how much they would charge me to calibrate...
