The "Whoo! I just got new gear!" thread

[BLWNHR]

Was talking to my locak store about this camera and he is thinking of buying one as a backup for his D300. He also commented on it's high ISO performance. He does a lot of travel and so wanted something a little smaller.

[MarkChap]

Well I picked up a BG-E2n Battery Grip for the 40D on the week end.
Should have got one sooner.

[DanNG]

thats nice danng, im also wondering about the D90, im tossing up between that and the D200. but i cant decide which one i want!

I'd choose a D90 over a D200, the image sensor is improved quite a bit for anything over ISO 400, the high resolution screen is great for checking focus,
the only -ve is the strength of the body.. if you don't hammer your equipment then this shouldn't be an issue.

[bergie_318is]

oh i baby my equipment! i treat it as a extension on my body! the very valuble/sensitive part haha

I just ordered a Sigma 24-60 2.8...yay for me. Hopefully it will be here in time for the Brissie meet.

I just got my light tent,(80 cm) ... as in this thread http://www.ausphotography.net.au/for...ght=light+tent and I really need to some spatial awareness training.... it is really quite big lol, I could fit in it. Much better than it being too small tho.
Looks pretty good quality, so will have to have a play later.

Thanks for the heads up Adam.

Mine arrived today... it is big!!

Can't actually figure out how to fold mine back down again either

Now I have to reprocess all my photos

whoaaa!!

Just had a look at the price of those things, boy they definitely arn't cheap. I'm still yet to replace my screen, but is there really that much of a difference between the dell 24in or even the 30in compared the to Eizo's?

[jim]

Don't know, but there's a hell of a difference compared to my old monitor, which I always thought was a pretty decent unit.

[terry.langham]

I just won some 'cokin' filters and holder on fleebay.

Tricky business letting your wife NOT knowing what you buy, e.g Took one of my friends to tell her 4 weeks after I bought the 1D Mk III

So my Speedlight 580 packed up after our recent trip to Kenya and Egypt, took a bashing in the bags I think.
And I am doing a wedding very soon so I couldn't be without a flash while it was getting fixed could I?
So I bought a 580EX II and while I was there I added the CP-E4 battery pack

It arrived today. I haven't even unwrapped it yet. Just about to do it...Yayyy

I will give it a run for it's money at our Brisbane meet next weekend, the 11th oct.

[MrJorge]

What widey did you get Julie-Anne?

[Bax]

I can't decide whether I want to fork out ALL that money for a pro circ polariser or just get a standard one...

But yes, spending up this week.

[41jas]

What widey did you get Julie-Anne?

With all the excitement I forgot to tell you that part.

It's a sigma 10-20mm.
