I guess its a question of how you want to pay for it... If you want interest free then Progear is not for you :) Unless you tell him that Harvey norman can do 18 months interest free at this price and see what he says.. perhaps he will join the war.

erm i will just go to the local doctors he has a good rate... don't fancy haggling on things like that....

lil_miss wrote in post #4769537 (external link)

hmm thats what i was thinking..

That lists an LP-E5 battery, the old ones are NB-2L's. I by default assume that's a different grip, and tbh the camera looks from that photo a different shape anyway. And it's now on SD/SDHC cards.

Not a clever move IMO. If they needed more battery power why not just release a higher mhs rated NB2L, as every third party battery manufacturer have already done?

Have you seen the physical size of them NB-2L's? after using BP-511's for years I thought they were joking.... they're tiny! like: iddy biddy baby batteries. What are the chances that to get larger output, they had to go bigger.

Nzshrimper wrote in post #4769352 (external link)
but that was not my news...

as I had to put it back on the shelf, this was due to the fact that we are now expecting our third baby...

Congrats! - a lot of the best things in life arrive in little parcels.

See they used NB2L's as the battery for many of the handycam sized video cameras, and let me tell you video cameras use batteries. I just think seeing as joebloggs.com offers an NB2L sized battery for $0.20 with twice the mha rating they could have done the same. ?!


Cheers, Dave.

Chris, check your Xtra mail, get off your butt and send me some images please. Things happening tonight and I need some images from you.

And er, um, congrats (although sounds like a bit of a surprise). Hope it's not all too stressful.

The impossible has begun - another step closer - and I am very hungry for it.

question: is it better to have a silver and gold reflector or silver and white?

Someone from work offered to buy me one :p

I would also go for a 5 in 1. I use the translucent quite often for reducing shadow. Also get as big as you can. Mine is 120 cm Oval. Could be bigger.
