What camera system do you use??

Well the new Canon 40D has arrived to replace my much loved and trusty 10D.
First impressions are that the auto focus is lightning quick, especially combined with L series glass (100-400).
The new 14 bit processor seems to improve tones.
The 10.2mp sensor produces decent file sizes, especially in RAW format, not forgetting it uses Canons new Digic 3 processor, which is lighning quick also.
One of the best benefits of the new camera has to be the 6.5 fps drive, handy when going for that elusive crossover shot.
Will post a further review after a little more time and experience with it.

Thanks for that, but Im sure I've seen marshallers use handheld radios so presumably talking to each other.

As i live on White Walthams doorstep, i thought it might be rude not to post a few images from there.

Its staggering the amount of "quality" birds up at WLAC, there are more Tigermoths, Pitts Specials and Piper Cubs than you can shake a stick at.
Not to mention the Junmans, and the Spits, Hurricans that pop in.

How about a photo section, its a bit quiet on the airshow front at the moment, but lots of civil stuff happening, also some lowfly action happening too.
What do people think???

The 100-400L can be got as cheap as �970 if you look on Camera Price Buster, a very good site i find it useful as a guide cos they cover so many companies prices.

A Very good lens by all acocunts.

Myself I use a 70-300 VR Nikon, can't afford any longer glass for a while.
