I took your advice and bought a Canon 400D when I was in America. Gavin will now explain to you what we got in the package over there.

We got the camera frame, a Canon 50mm f1.8 prime lens, a Tamron 28-80mm f/4 telephoto lens, a Tamron 75-300m f/5.6 telemacro lens, a x2.0 zoom lens, a x0.5 wide angle lens, a 4GB CF high speed memory card, a 3ft tripod,a table-top tripod, three UV filters, a slave flash and a carry case all for $990 delivered to where we were staying.

Thanks for all your advice!

Nice pic's - well done with Ernie :thumbsup:

Its a great deal. It is a really good camera but completely wasted on me. The Tamron lens are decent quality as well. Good luck with it mate.

what sort of distance did it run aroung longford , martin , heres a picture , of my bitch , she won a 1000m marathon at highgate , by 50>60 yards.http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii167/dennned/Picture075-1.jpg

 

[Martin Tucker]

The distance at Longford is 330 yards and the best he`s done is 19.22. Grading time for the greyhounds is 19.12.

He has a 6.99 to the corner, Greyhounds would do around 6.60.

I think that`s quite good, as he`s only 31lbs.

He`s just a nice little dog to have around the place. Here he is after winning at Shanes Castle last year !
