how much did you charge Dave?

Not enough (after having a bit of a web search).

I quoted $50 for a single photo on a CD (no prints).

From what I've seen around (now that I've had time to look), the going price would seem to be $95 - $150. Oh well, gotta start somewhere.

nice birdy Dave, nice colours and nice and sharp.

Thanks Made sitting in the wet grass all that time worthwhile

Interesting:

Japanese imaging and optical specialist Canon Inc. has this week unveiled its new Rebel XS (EOS 1000D) digital single-lens reflex camera, which the company is positioning as an entry-level DSLR offering that will slot into its product portfolio beneath the existing 450D model.

Yep, and a 430ex Mk II as well.

The 1000D is obviously a move against the Nikon D60. It's an odd set of features though - being basically a 400D with less focal points, SD instead of CF and the addition of Live View. Looks like Ted's will be selling it with the 18-55 (non-IS) for a titch over $1k which is still too dear for an entry level dSLR (given you can get a 400D for about $800 with kit lens these days, new).

They are just guessing so they have a price on their site. Canon hasnt even put a figure on the camera yet...

My sis in law did some promotion for them a few months ago, IIRC, when they first came out.

Sunday 22nd works for me. Or this Sunday 15th - I'm working a night duty, but can be out during the day.

Anyone else?

Sundays rule me out. Ah well, Ill probably head along while hayley is at work/packing for the cruise over the next 2 weeks.

Just a recommendation here for ACCURATE INSTRUMENT SERVICING on the north side, who were able to repair my 24-70 in less than half the time that canon said it would take them, and did it under warranty to boot. they also do a same day sensor clean too if you want to get it done professionally And if you're reading this, thanks very much Peter.
