I'd hang on, get a bit more involved with TP and you'll find some better prices in the for sale area, and with people that you're more comfy with than ebay.

I agree with Kitten Matt, even though the prices seem better on eBay, I dont know, or totally trust these people. At least TP'ers, you get to know them and trust them more.

I would pay a bit extra for a camera I know has been well looked after, and from someone thats more willing to help if it goes tits up

I'm staying with the 300d for a while, see how the Sigma 17-70 works with it and then maybe trade up later in the year, I don't need an *0d yet really and right now the 300d is fine, I'd like a bigger LCD but thats about it. As my photography becomes a little more adventurous and I need the extra quality and sensitivity that a *0d will offer then I'll look at trading up, or of course if the 300d goes pop

Week 4 - Jiminy Cricket, playing his part in the great circle of life (i.e. about to be eaten by a hungry lizard).

I cleaned out my lizard/frog tank today with the hope of getting a few nice shots of either. However, they all got a bit camera shy so I resorted to photographing some of the crickets hopping around the tank instead. Not my best macro shot, but I thought he looked quite happy in there Incidentally, this is one of the reasons I love macro. You can see all the hairs on his legs, the plates of armour all over his body and things which you could never see with the naked eye. I had another side-on shot of a cricket which just showed TONNES of detail, but his head was out of focus so I couldn't use it. Shame!!

Thanks Canon 100mm Macro, but that shot does the lens absolutely no justice whatsoever. It's an incredible lens.
