Yes , Woohoo I just got new gear ( Sigma 10-20 & canon 55-250) and I must say I'm impressed, not with the lenses as I haven't had a play with them yet but with eGlobal, great prices and very fast delivery
Cheers

New to photography and loving the challenge
Canon EOS 7D , EF-S 18-135mm lens, EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM , EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS II, Sigma 10-20mmf4-5.6 EX , Extension tubes.

My wife was complaining that she didn't like using my Canon 60D with L lenses, as it was too heavy and cumbersome for her to use, so I offered to send her to the gym for some serious weight training.
As this is a mixed forum, I won't repeat what she said to me.
So, I bought her a Canon G1X which arrived this evening.
We've only been playing around with it in poor light so far, but it seems to handle low light and high ISO's much better than I was expecting, and the built-in flash is suprisingly powerful too.
I took some videos of one of my cats in very poor incandecent light, and they were very good, if a little warm in colour, and the videos played really well when plugged into my TV.
The focussing isn't as fast as an SLR, but it isn't too slow either. Better than other P&S's that I've used and the face tracking focus is really good, even recognising the faces of my cats and hanging on to them as they walk around.
I'll put up some photos taken with it over the weekend, when I've had a chance to use it for something useful.

All my photos are taken with recycled pixels.
Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom, is knowing not to serve it in a fruit salad.
I managed to get out Centennial Park today with my wife, so she coud try out the new G1X.
Here are a few shots taken with it.
These are straight out of the camera, no PP, no sharpening, but some have been cropped a little, and the camera was set to full auto (which is what she'll be using most of the time).
They aren't artistic photos, but i think they're pretty good for a P&S.
I was also surprised how quickly it focusses in good light too.

Spotted the Nikkor 85 1.8D on sale so I jumped on it. I've always wanted an 85 prime for music stuff, and now I have it! I'll mostly only use it for live music shots once a month so couldn't justify the f1.4.
Got some more stuff on it's way from the mighty USA that I'll post when it arrives.
I had this little guy turn up today. Not strictly photography, but useful from browsing AusPhotography!
I got a Samsung Galaxy nexus a week ago. I know it isn't photography related however it does have a much better camera on it than my old phone And I can also browse this forum on it via tapatalk Surprisingly capable and powerful phone considering the relatively cheap price you can buy them from via a grey importer.
And yesterday I picked up a Nifty Fifty for my Canon.(My first non kit lens as well as my first prime lens) Haven't done much with it yet, just a couple test shots yesterday. Not much to say about it that hasn't already been said 100 times about it, a fantastic lens for the price. And to sweeten the deal it was on special and I also received a gift voucher from this particular store as my b'day is coming up so I thought I may as well spend it. I managed $37 off!

I am really enjoying my SLIK AF-2100 Pistol Grip Ball Head that came a few weeks back, its great on my monopod and can hold all the heavy *for me* macro gear
Now all I need it a new monopod preferably with feet..
Also bought a few books from one of the Sponsor up top no postage either.. I can see some very relaxing reading time coming up by the fire when its cold and rainy.
I got Photoshop's layers, yesterday Understanding Close-up Photography arrived and Understanding Flash Photography should be here in the next two days
24-105 arrived today ...
I've shot off a half dozen shots and can someone please tell me why the heck did I bother with those other lenses when this one is freaking sharp and brings in more quality light?
I'm L forever, thought near enough was good enough - but it isn't .
Did I mention I have a 5D Mk III as well?
The 1D3 is gone The 5D3 is coming

We picked up a JVC video camera at an insurance auction a few months ago, but it was just the camera. Apparently a store was broken into and the box and accessories stolen but the camera was on display and not taken. It is pretty high-spec. for a handycam, it's discontinued now, but this page has a lot of the details. After some hunting around I found B&H had the best price on batteries so I put in an order. The camera has 32gb of internal memory, but I also grabbed a 32gb Class 10 SD card and a 16gb flash drive for work. The camera only cost me $50 (RRP was around $500) and the accessories (batteries, card and charger) cost me $175 delivered so I consider it a bargain! It is small and light and will come in handy on our planned trip to Europe next year.
Woop! About to pick up my edge 80 optic (for lensbaby)
