    Geese on the Thames, London

    Hi yes I was building to all g,lags. Why I asked about any previous records was that some birds use regular routes & can turn up even for 15mins (I know I had a ring Ouzel just stop for a picture on my patch then gone) so yes always go for most common but don't rule out special.

    The end of compact flash for the mid range?

    Why are the professionals still going to be using CF (some will have CF & SD slots) while low to midrange cameras (new) are now SD, the Pros must have a good reason for their choice of storage card?

    The end of compact flash for the mid range?

    Hi All, I whiled a way a bit of time a few days ago I decided to see if any DSLR's that are for sale in the UK (new) for under £1,000.00 took Compact Flash and the simple answer is no! unless we pay near pro price's for a camera body when cameras like 40D 50D etc. pack up its Sd cards!
