On the subject of photography…

So I was thinking about getting a new camera to replace my Canon Powershot A640. Not that there's anything hugely wrong with the camera just that it can be limiting sometimes:

  • High noise at high ISO
  • Low maximum ISO (800)
  • Minimum shutter speed of 15 seconds
  • Can't shoot RAW

So to that end I was thinking about getting the new dSLR from Canon, their 450D. But then again to make full use of it you need a whole range of lenses which would total up to around £2.5k (wide angle, low light, standard zoom, telephoto zoom, flash, teleconverter...) Anyone have a few grand to spare? No? I'll put it to the back of my mind for a while then...
