Congratz, I hope you will be very happy together ;D

I don't fully understand it yet but I'm still envious :p

*the plot to steal it begins*

Nicely bought :)

[Fayshun]

Dude, I'll fully admit to knowing eff all about photography but I think you're gonna need a lens too.

[Davey_Pitch]

Nice one Matt, very envious here :)

[Matblack]

Hmmmm, it might have to go back for a replacement, It seems to have an issue with the manufacture of the focus screen meaning it has an issue in the viewfinder (a mark) trying to find out if its user fixable, even if it is it may still be going back.

No point trying to fix it yourself, if you bodge it up then you may well invalidate the warranty.

It could just be dust on the sensor or focussing screen. Either way I wouldn't advise messing with it yourself, at least not so soon after you have bought it.

Good camera though and the Canon lens system is awesome. Did you buy any lenses with the body?

Did you say you were sending it back? I know it doesn't affect the end result but I can imagine it to be annoying.

What was that BIG LONG LENS you had (no, not *that* one ;D) on Sunday? That looked awesome.

I'm still madly in love with my Dolly (named after another famous 40D (well, double D, but lets not split hairs). Especially when coupled with the Sigma 105, it's cracking :)

Its definately more than dust, unfortunately it looks like a manufacturing fault in the focus screen, which is a user changeable part but as the shop have offered a replacement (and rightly so) I'm using the current unit and will get a brand new one. The manager in the shop is very apologetic and says he'll do everything to get it sorted but they are having issues sourcing a Body only retail pack so I get to use the one I have till then, because the fault is after the sensor its just an annoyance and does not effect the pictures taken (its just annoying :D). Oh well I've shot about 1500 exposures already so I'll be like ragging a courtesy car :)

Lens wise a Sigma 17-70 a 70-200L f4 and a 50mm, its very much a hobby and I'm not really in a position to spend a lot but they cover most things apart from serious zoom stuff

70-200L f4 its not an expectantly long lens but I do love it, its lovely and sharp :)

It looks like a coffee stain when you look through the view finder so not dust.

Terrible photoshop of what it looks like :(

The circle isn't quite uniform and is opaque
