Sorry for the noob question (that has probably been asked a thousand times) but what is the best NZ online retailer for camera gear? Also which Christchurch retailer do you folks use?

At a quick glance that means different battery, different grip and different cards to every other Canon DSLR.

Way to go you pile of knob jockeys. :roll:

Yeah, doesn't bother me either way. I won't be buying one (maybe a MkIII or IV) and I'm not selling my MkI so don't care what it does to the value of it.

I love my 5D, some of the new "toys" would be nice (I actually think I would use live view) but not enough to part with any cash.

I still have to many lenses on my wishlist :lol:

Bet there will be loads of 40D owners moaning that the entry level camera is higher resolution than their one.....and all those threads will start up "which is better 12MP 450D or 10MP 40D....:o

Nah....it is targeted at first time buyers, who will already have SD cards from their point and shoot.
