I rushed the shots tbh and forgot to hood up so not the best but the camera seems to work.

They look good, happy with it?

I am indeed, need more lenses though

The mist came out really well. Pretty impressive. Have you tried the shots at high iso to see about the noise? Would be good actually at some point if we head out sometime to do a side by side comparison of cameras on same settings. I know there are plenty of sites that have done just that already and will be doing the same for the 60D, but it makes it more real when you do it yourself!

I havent no, i will though, ISO 3200 will be fairly noisy i think

Gah, for some reason Im seriously considering seeing about stretching my wallet a bit and getting the 7D >< Environmental seals would be good as I am using the 40D at uni in the labs which have all sorts of dust etc ><

dust? seriously? you are paranoid, zoom lenses are more likely to inhale the dust than your camera, damp is your enemy with the camera.

Dust, damp, whatever. Ive already noticed the 40D is getting a bit grimier than normal from use in the lab environment. Admittedly there is the fact that given the labs I doubt an environmental seal would do much good against 98% sulphuric acid etc.

Theres not really much reason why Ive been thinking about it, other than the fact I was pleasantly surprised by my bank account the other day.

are you using it in the lab because you want to, or need to for work? if the latter, get the uni to buy you a lab camera. On the scale of lab equipment a DSLR is peanuts.

Dust is only a problem if you change lenses regularly, move the camera out of the dusty environment to change lens. Otherwise just use a filter on the front of the lens to keep it off the glass there.

Whereas places like scientific establishments seem to have few problems buying £50k items by the bucketload because there is no alternative trying to get them to buy a much cheaper item is often problematic.

We have something like 2 Canon 500Ds and 3 Nikon D-whatevers and a few lenses.

Id much use my camera which I am familiar with than one that is a relative unknown. The Sulphuric acid and stuff is a bit extreme, its a case of if I am taking photos someone else is doing the work so its not too bad. Im just trying to find an excuse to be honest . Just realised I have an almost unused drysuit in the garage which I can justify selling!
