Just sold one and got a 50D. Feature wise the 450D was enough for me but the size really got to me after a while. Its not really made with adult male hands in size. Sounds trivial but yes...

had it since the start or november up until a week ago. if you throw it up on ebay it'll be snapped up really quick for a pretty decent price - probably hope for 850+ on something that new.

yeah the 50D has a few neat features that i didn't even weigh into my decision that im really liking (as with the 40D) its got the scroll wheel and the thumb stick which are awesome. The VGA LCD is nice too. overall stoked. got it for 1545.

sorry gluey, really not doing anything for me at all with those. Thats why i like shooting surfing better, they make better subjects. You need quality bodyboarders to get good shots, doing ars's and the like. Good compo though.

If he got any shots of the pits people were getting this morning they could look cool. Some of the nicest barrels i've seen in a while.

Reef or sand bottom? Waves are still mental up here, some solid 3m sets coming through on the open beaches. No one is stupid enough to go out where i was though, and the water is as poo brown/really sharky, especially when the sun goes behind the clouds.

edit: Gluey, number 2 looks kinda weird, just the colours. 3 is rad though

That's reef. One of the gnarliest in Sydney actually, although from those shots you can't see anything. Looking at it from the side, when it sucks below sea level and there's bare rock, makes you question whether you really want to be out there. It's funny, the water out there is super clean, but when I went and surfed the beach later on there was enough seaweed and leaves around to drown you.

Shark Island? The foam at the GC today was like 30cm thick, you couldnt breathe paddling through it, and it was brown. Feral!

That's Winki. It's about the same gnarly-ness as Shark Island, it just doesn't work too well above about 6 or 8 feet.

Ok, why is it that canon's (i dont know about other brands) have a halfway turn on switch, or two on switches. One turns the camera on, the other turns the little scroll wheel on (not the one near the shutter, the one next to the screen).

T'is quite puzzling..
