Me too nan. What I find strange is when we have been on nightdrives I've always asked the guide if it's ok to use a flash and they've always said it's fine. -O- And they're not worried about where the torch is shining. O**

Without the spotlight, flashes etc. the night drives would not exist O** I went on one and it was also the last one 0*\

My Canon EOS350D is getting quite long in the tooth and I am seriously thinking about renewing/ upgrading . With it , I also have a few Sigma lenses , i.e. 70 - 300 mm F4-5.6 DG Macro , as well as a Sigma DG - 50 - 500 mm1:4.5 - 6.3 APO ( which weighs a ton :twisted: ) .

What do you suggest I should get - note , I would still prefer to get a Canon so that lenses can still be interchanged etc .

I would get an 80D, which is quite a good value proposition.
