Fine choice Sir Canon rules the world ha ha

Welcome Jay. Looks like your got a pretty good buy, well done! You've come to the right place. There's lots of knowledgeable people here who'll help out with any questions you may have. Please say youre going to lower it a bit? Looks like a monster truck at the moment ha ha. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it. Enjoy

It'll be more expensive but go to a propper camera shop, not some cheap parallel importer if thats where you've been. The knowledge you'll gain will be invaluable, their warrenty and service backup will exceed some parallel importer and you'll actually be able to have a play with the cameras to get a feel for what suits you best. IMO, Live view, rotating screens, HD movie functions etc are all gimmicks that you'll never use. Dont think ive ever seen a photographer use any of these TBH. From what I can gather you're new to this so just learning how to take a photo successfully in manual mode (not auto) will keep you busy enough. My 2c Edit: Listen to Camera Doctor. He know's what he's talking about!

Case in point!

Asking the Canon Vs Nikon question will only confuse you more as the rivalry is fierce ha ha. I have a Canon but im not biased in any way. Looking quickly at the spec's it seems the Canon has the upper hand. 18mp vs 14.2 Up to 6400 ISO vs 3200 3.7 fps vs 3.0 End of the day, they're both going to be much of a muchness in terms of image quality. Go with what feels best in hand.

Have sent you a PM but will be looking for more than 6k.

Looks the goods. Have a read of this

Happy Bday Doug. Have a good one!

Interesting! Someone post the youtube link to the auction questions. Should drop the value of the car by a couple of G's ha ha. Bimmersport, causing sh*t since ages ago! Edit: Looks like a common occurrence - Youtube

Pjay, if you want to know anything about James' car (that he can't answer himself) like the sunroof being glued shut or details on the replacement engine then get hold of this guy - All European Service He was the owner/mechanic who did all this work on the car. Very helpful guy. Cant remember his name but I approached him to buy it a couple years back but he wanted moon money for it so I declined. Hope James is ok with me giving out this info...

Because I have nothing better to do with my time... http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-...n-380316525.htm

These are my favourite wheels by a long shot! Nice work on the restoration job, looking sharp.

Good on you, something different for a change. Pic 11 (interior shot) is the best one

Good to know. I'm getting the fark away from Vodafone as soon as my 3 months of double mins are used up.

Westy, you ARE the Dalai Lama lol

Assigning a simple MP3 as a ringtone or text is a mission so I cant be bothered lol. You can do it with a $99 Nokia easy enough. I cannot fathom how a phone worth >1k cant do it simply and easily! As for reception, average on my 3GS. Not sure if its the phone or Voda to be fair. Im going with Voda thou. Had my iPhone just over a year and have F all apps. Here are a few I use quite a bit. Skype & Viber - Viber is good but made for every country but NZ where mobile internet usage is unlimited. Sky TV - Only just been released but seems to work well. Can view the channel guide and remote book programs if you have mysky. Remote - When listening to itunes on laptop, computer, tv, stereo etc you can control it thru your iPhone over a wireless network. Soundhound - Dont know a song? Now you do! Dropbox - Cant be bothered explaining lol Check it out. Then there's the usual - Trade Me, Facebook, Stuff, Vodafone etc etc.

I take it you outright own the mysky box?

Id insure it for what it owes you. Unless that figure is over 10.8k...

Don't temp him! The guy cant keep his wallet shut when it comes to BMW's lol Very very nice 5'er!

Absolute carnage! Sheets of roofing are deadly when they're ripped off and blown around. I would have packed myself.

At least it'll put a halt the Royal Wedding bull that we've been enduring over the last week!

At least they left the car on jacks and not the ground!

Happy Bday Jack. Have a good one!

Greg didnt say 36-38 was over inflation. He stated that this is what David should use.
