I have a feeling Wazza will be out as he is saving up for his relocation to the UK.

Relocation to the UK? WHAT?

Anyone interested in a couple of EU frequency PW Plus II's? I'm going to get some of the new ones I think.

Nope. Some of us have day jobs and limited annual leave :lol:

If you're going to China, make sure to check out Sichuan. When I was there last July, things like 5-star hotel prices were down upto 80% simply because hardly anyone was going there due to the Earthquakes. Basically, everything was hell cheap. Beautiful beautiful place, if you love shooting landscapes and candid people shots. I think if you went into the mountains for a shooting excursion and pointed it down towards the sweeping view below, your 5D would faint (or in other words, Err 99) and 16-35 turn into a sack of goo and fall off the lens mount.

Actually, that's not a good thing is it now.. :p

When.. no sure. Only just heard of this myself, but everyone keeps repeating it. :lol:

Why? Probably currency related. Or Canon having another laugh at us.

Where? Everywhere in Australia!

Sacred mounts is good too but can only get there by bus.

I did a trip in 06, Bejing -> inland -> south -> Shanghai.

Northern inland China would be awesome too. You should hunt down the isolated parts of the Great Wall (since the majority of people go to the 'tourist' entrances, such as the Badaling entrance right outside of Beijing). You'll be able to get unfetted, clear shots of the Wall with no people on it. Just be careful too.. if you have some sort of bad accident climbing, chances are no one's gonna discover your decomposing corpse for a few months either. Last time I went to the Great Wall, there were a million people there, it was raining and everyone was wearing bloody BRIGHT BLUE raincoats. I did NOT get one single good shot of the Wall. :lol:

Canon cameras will all go up by 30% in March...that is the goss. The MarkII currently around $4100 will hit $4900. Guess I'll be waiting a while longer for mine.:(
They must be sure people will pay that....

Just a little while longer Hazey.
Seems the whole world is going to the shizz so there might be some good used and demo stock deals.

Hey Hayley, if it's 30% then $4100 will become $5330. Ridiculous prices.

A 1D Mark IV would be close to $7000 under those increases.. :lol:
