This has been a really interesting thread for me as it looks likely that I will be going into the Intermediate group at my camera club next season and someone recently commented on my EPZ portfolio that I should re-classify myself as intermediate rather than beginner. Despite the fact that it seems I must be producing better images I feel that I still have so much to learn. I would love to ge...

For me it is a case of apples and oranges, EVF can be useful. I have Canon slrs and as a walk about an Olympus EPL1 with a VF3 EVF. ( By the way the standard lens on the EPL1 which feels really flimsy delivers outrageously sharp images for a camera and lens kit that cost me £249!- see Innerleithen Chimneys on my portfolio) Without the EVF the EPL1 is half the camera, with it , you ha...

An EOS one from Canon with a proper size sensor with nice shallow dof Like the 18.7 x 14.0 mm sensor Canon have already developed, it makes sense for a CSC sensor ? :)

I agree there. What many people don't stop to think about is that if you are wanting to freeze fast action (in fact it doesn't have to be particualry fast for this to apply), the necessary shutter speed is often way into territory where VR is not necessary.

There may be a custom function to change the AE lock button into an AF lock.

I use a Acratech GP ballhead. it is Arca Swiss compatible with a lip on the plate, this helps prevent the camera from rotating on the plate. A ballhead is faster to set up and give you much more range of motion. I have had many of my student complain about the joystick style ballhead. they tend not to support heavier camera set ups and tend to slip at certain angles. I would just invest in a go...

But, there's always the window to look through as a re-assuring backup. As a passenger I wouldn't like the idea of 'no window backup'. But we are losing 'focus' again and the post is becoming 'coloured' again !! Then, maybe that's reasons to have an OVF ?

Well I personally love my giottos ballhead, its quite light, very well made and very sturdy. I have several tripods for travelling, the studio and for outdoors, all with their own interchangable heads and this is my favorite by a long way. the link is here [link=]http://www.giottos-tripods.co.uk/index.php?page=products&cat=49130e8d88135[/link] it is also a bit cheaper than that acratech...

In a race, yes

Do yourself a favour and buy a geared head Yup.. my favourite too.. no "creep/wilt/droop" as with a ball head (okay, maybe pretty expensive ones don't..) and no sticky-out handles as with pan/tilt types. You can adjust it rapidly/coarsely, then finely adjust it..love it...

Hehehe....:)

I can confirm from bitter experience that the sigma 18-200 cannot be used on a tripod with OS running. so i guess the sigmas do not have such high technology incorporated Phil ..although I see in yesterdays News that Nikon are sueing Sigma for megabucks for allegedly "stealing" their intellectual property on image stabilisation.

As for the use of flash, with motorcycles if you plce yourself on the exit of a turn just where the rider is about to look and you fire off a flash in his direction, he probably isn't going to be best pleased Positioning of the flash may come into it of course, but most motocross and bmx photographers do use flash. One I spoke to was an ex-pro motocross rider who said that when he asked the ...
