I bought about $70k worth of gear through them for work. they were way cheaper than the big stores in Sydney.

I am sick of drowning my good cameras so I lashed out today and bought a Fuji XP waterproof today on special from Dick Smith. They were even cheaper than Digi Camera Warehouse who are normally 1/2 H/norman price

It looks pretty but Ill test it out re waterproofness

The course went for about 6 weeks but it was for about 3hrs a night, one night a week.

I've always use Canon from film to DSLR only because that's what I started with started with EOS 1000 film the 50E film then on to 300D DSLR and have been through the range currently using a 1d Mark IV still have them all the kids use them now.All the decent brands even at the starting level take great photos just learning how to use your camera is them main thing get off auto and play. I have never done any courses but find the internet a great help. the key is getting out and taking a S*&t load of photos can take over 500 some days great thing about digital. I use a pelican case in the boat and have never had any issues saying that all our gear is insured through a mob purely for photography as well.

Pelican cases are great. They have a lifetime warranty and they float

I priced Pelican Cases & they were bl..dy dear, great cases but too dear,....I ended up buying a Craftsman case, which is a copy of a Pelican sturdy as a brick sh*thouse, I ve stood on a few times !.

I carry my A550, a 200/400 Tamorn lense & a 28/300 lens, a vertical grip, battery charger & a card reader in mine , plus a few spare batteries .....

Bunnings has on special at the moment a slightly larger copy opf a Pelican for $65 , which I reckon is outstanding . both the Craftsman have O ring seals & large oversized overcentre catches & a vent.

Good on you mate. Just checked their site and they have them here - off to get one now.

Those cases at Bunings already have the cubed foam in em.

As fpr taking 500 pics na day, I went to the daughters Nteball grand finals & blew 998 framers in 2 games.... ( & that didnt include the mummies in the background

)

7 frames a second screams through a lot of frames if your keen ! & the best part of digital is it didnt cost you $300 to look at the pics like film .....

I find it near impossible to take shots without good sorts in the background.

i'v just brought a vanguard professional surpreme 37f hard case. it is waterproof and airtight
has air pressure equalization valve and customizable hexagonal pluck foam so your camera will fit snug.
got it from teds, i payed $99 plus $10 postage pretty good price i thought.
