....Nikons (2 bodies plus several lenses) is what I used to do but got fed up lugging it all around. The Canon EOS 1's are good too but that was pre-digital although I did get lent a top of the range Canon digital SLR and loved it.
Nowadays my pics are totally amateur but I shoot nearly every day and enjoy it. Hence my desire for something quality but with plenty of manual control options and very importantly compact for keeping handy 24/7.

looking forward to your thoughts on this TC as this is my preferred DSLR as the Nikon didn't quite do it for me and i've always been an eos fanboy :happy2:

From my understanding Robin its now more of a triangle. ISO - Shutter speed - Aperture.
Once TC reads the correct books he will see this. I think Bryan Peterson explains it best when he says for every photo there are at least 6 correct exposures and based on the 'message' you are conveying you will pick accordingly :happy2:

....You're absolutely right. Nowadays the ISO is a variable whereas in conventional film you were stuck with the ISO of the film you loaded - I haven't got used to that yet. I was trying to keep it simples for peanut-head our esteemed fellow TC so he wouldn't be put off. But he sounds like wild horses wouldn't stop him!

Yay go TC :party:

....It's always been a close thing between Nikon and Canon SLR's - Very little to choose from in lens quality but Nikons stronger build and well established among pro's. Nikon rushed into autofocus and digital whereas Canon took their time and like Shimano vs Campagnola (bicycle racing), they started again from scratch and analysed the whole ergonomic aspect extremely well and are now equal if not preferred.
Leica have always been the numero uno for lens quality but we're in danger of getting scientific. Makers like Sigma have obviously got better - They used to be crap! (by comparison).
