Rebel XSi / 450D Users Unite

Ya man! Let us see some pics!! The 70-200 paired with the 450D should look nice!

whats everyone getting for xmas?

I should be getting a 580EX II and also maybe try to convince my brother to sell his EF 24-105mm f/4 IS USM to me for a payment plan!! LOL! I seriously need to switch out my Cheap kit for some real glass!!!

i love the 580exII i want 2 more flashes, and im the same as you leo, i need some new glass bad! i feel sometimes my lens situation holds me back

Rebel Addict & Don Juan - you guys should just listen to yourselves:

"i feel sometimes my lens situation holds me back"
"I seriously need to switch out my Cheap kit for some real glass!!!"
"i want 2 more flashes"
"I should be getting a 580EX II"

Step back, take a look at your photos and see them the way the rest of us see them.....AMAZING SHOTS!

Now shut up about being held back/needing better kit and just give us some more of your stunning work!

FFS - anyone would think you guys suck the way you two carry on!

As for what I'm getting for Christmas? A week away in a remote cottage by the sea. No interfering family, no TV, no internet, no phones, no hassle. Just me, the GF, the dog, LOADS of booze, LOADS of empty beaches to explore on Christmas day. BLISS!

Happy Christmas guys, I hope you get your cool kit - even though you don't need it....

haha, "with" or "of" the "70-200"?

HAHAHA that was great! Thanks for your kind words! The bad part of all this is that I wish I had the money to just spend on my wants!!

no doubt, i have a 1.4x in the mail too. unfortunately the "partly cloudy" forecast for my neck of the woods has turned into another 4" of snow that i'm not takin' the 70-200 out in!

Lol@ mystery machine. Thanks tho! But I just have my 50mm, I wanna shoot some nice wide landscapes, I have stuff planned for as soon as I get it. Your little xmas plans sound great mate, I have xmas day off that's it.

Shadowman pics with the lens dude lol not of the lens

to be honest i have barely had a chance to use it between the weather sucking and having no time. i'll get to it, i'll get to it

That sounds like the plan right there. What more could you ask for?

I have all my family coming to stay. I think there will be close to 15 people at my house on Christmas day...that should be interesting. One of em better bring me a new camera bag

Happy Holidays!
