Where can I get the addresses of the people I owe? I've been a lazy sunovabitch and would like to send out the pics.

thought this was as good a thread as any to say we just picked up a second 20D for my fiance. so excited as now she will not have to lug around all her film gear to argentina!
got a sweet deal on it to! found a guy on craigslist that treated it like his baby (makese mine look like i found it in a trashcan haha!). came with all original packaging, lens and an extra battery for $475!!!!

Whatever this is I WANT IN. I saw the phrase 'photo exchange' on the first page. Someone care to tell me just wtf is going on and how I can get my mojo on?

I am going to go to the camera shop this week. Looks like the 40D is going to be the gun I get. Thanks for all the info everyone.

i have the 20d and love it (i think i've said that like 30 times on here haha). nate(eighthourday) just got the 5d and i got to play around with it for a bit. it's pretty sweet. it actually felt lighter than mine (which threw me off a bit...but he also had the lens on it that i mentioned above (the 50mm fixed lens), and i've got the tamron 28-200 on mine...which practically doulbes the weight)
the one thing that i really liked about it was the fact that it doesn't have the onboard flash. that thing bugs the shit out of me, especially when i'm being lazy and shooting in auto-mode and forget that needs to always pop up. i'm really surprised i haven't snapped that thing off yet.also the larger lcd is pretty nice. it makes mine look tiny (although the 40d has the same size as the 5d i think).
plus full-frame. i wish i had a full-frame camera to work on an equal level with some of my pre-digital slr lenses.
- Just got my D300, and my wife is going to be selling a BIG cannon set at a good price (10d) email me if interested...nicnichols

5D's are getting cheap now, I am getting soon with any luck. They are superb if you like to shoot wide. 24-70L + 5D is a mean combo.
I have a 30D now and its pretty great, 40D is still a good option.

thats the only one i sent neverblink. a couple of weeks ago i said i was going to send another one.....its packaged and still sitting by the back door....
get the 40d cap_ron. unless your making some really big pints i doubt you'd notice any difference between the two. plus good glass is a better investment than a camera body these days.

I may sit the next round out while I get ready to purchase a Canon 40D. Does anyone have any comments on that idea? I am looking for some feedback. My friend has a 5D, but he does a lot more studio work than I would, and the 40D is a little cheaper, so I could buy some good glass to go with it.
- go fer it! get the lenses. the better bodies will come later.jaylarson

no worries Sikma, I did see you send it right on time: dec. 15th.. so it took a little under two months to get here! Was that the first one you send? anyway - nice shot / treatment!
- lvl_130
nah, no site up this time. there was for the last ones though.
- ender790
is there a site up yet with the photos you guys took?
- sikma0
sweet! sorry about the delay neverblink!
*shakes fist at canada post

yes i understand. i am planning on dropping a serious ammount of cash on my new camera. hopefully i'll have it by years end. my canon is good, but it is only a bridge camera which has its limitations for enlarging.

lvl-- def email me when the next round starts and I would be up for getting back in.. got a ton of new stuff.. (and really need to update my site with it...) Cheers---
- lvl_130
yeah, that's the one jay. my friend nate (eighthourday) got it and was shooting with it this weekend. after he told me the price i went and bought it the next day off of amazon.
the thing feels like you could buy it out of a gumball machine, but the photo quality is pretty damn good...especially forthe low price tag :)
i really want to pick up that 17-22mm, which is not even in the same realm as the one i got...but it's something new to tide me over :)
- lvl_130
i still got nothing from v3.
on a side note, i just picked up a canon 50mm f 1.8 fixed lens. pretty awesome considering it only costs like $60 brand new!
- this one?:
http://www.slrgear.c…jaylarson - yeah still waiting on v3 also. Hope everything is ok with him.slappy

Ok, I recently got back to the office and what do I see on my desk?
3 packages that I asked to be sent.
I'm really sorried about the delay, but I'll get them mailed as soon as possible. This week just has been horrible.
- neverblink0

I havn't seen it, but my girlfriend just texted me I had mail from Canada!
