All those pics were handheld with a 70-200mm f2.8 plus a 1.4x extender and the battery grip, yes it's heavy but not overly, I can happily walk around all day with it on a Black Rapid strap without breaking a collarbone.

just need to sell an I4 and an ES550 to finance the purchase now!!!

I can't quite understand why anyone would leave on the card, as soon as I have access to my lpatop or PC they are copied and backed up.

So do I Standee but if I'm away I don't have access to my PC (don't have a laptop unfortunately!)

Having just upgraded to a Canon 7D I now understand that a 16GB card IS a mid size card...

I mistakenly put a 2GB card in when I was at Banham Zoo, it was full in under 3 minutes.

Any how, just ordered a couple more 16GB Trancends, at just over £15 delivered I can't complain.

I know the feeling, recently got 5D Mk 2 and 16GB is all of a sudden a 'small' card haha

Needs to be partnered with a top quality lens to get the best out of it I've played about with it and go decent results with both my Sigma DG f2.8's but I wasn't too impressed with the Nifty 50mm f1.8, the new firmware gave a significant improvement too.

Stepping up from a 400D meant more fine grained control of ISO speeds rather than full stop jumps, those stuck with 100, 200, 400, 800. 1600... jumps would see good good improvements at 500, 640, 1000 and 1250.

Have you shot much at ISO 6400 or above?

I've been told to add, Julie was able to get good results hand holding the above set up.
