Hi everyone!

Just a quick hello from a newbie to the site.

Currently driving a Subaru WRX MY01 and take a lot of photo's for www.scoobycity.co.uk and also all the events I go to.

Using a 300D with a Sigma 24-70 EX DG Macro and a Canon 70-200L f4 which i hope to change to a 20D over the next couple of months if sooner.

Anyone know of the best UK deal on the 20D?

Check out my gallery : http://pc185.deviantart.com/gallery/ and www.pc185.co.uk

Thanks

Chris

Welcome to this particular corner of the madhouse Chris.

Some great images there... I'm not a Canon man but I'm sure some will turn up soon with some opinions on cheap sites. One of them usues Cannons to great effect - you may like to check out www.mattwatkinson.com (He's a git and we ignore him if we can ).

I'm just curious, How did you hear about the Pistonhead site?

I thought Matt had moved on to a Canon 1ds mkII?

For the best price on the 20D you may want to check out www.pricerunner.co.uk and/or www.kelkoo.co.uk

Be aware that Canon are expected to announce the replacement for the 20D later this month

Ello PC185! Some nice pics on your site there, you could have cleaned the wheels first though:

Canon are expected to announce another camera this month so your best bet will be to wait until the dust has settled. Price will fall, and will only continue to go down more over time, so luckily for you a good bargain is just around the corner
