10d deals?

hello,

Just before I take the plunge, has any noticed any better deals than
Park Cameras who have the 10d at £1099 and the £100-400 at £1198?

ta
Pete.

That's the best price for the 10d that I've seen in last few weeks...not sure on the 100-400 i.s. lens though, sure I've seen that slightly cheaper lately. I'll have another look.. but Park are a good company, so you may be better off buying from them anyway.

Hi Pete,
It might be worthwhile checking the AJ Purdy website as in the past they have claimed to be the cheapest in the UK. I would also suggest at least looking at the Canon-fit Sigma 80-400 OS Ex lens before committing to the Canon 100-400 L IS lens as the zoom adjustment is less ungainly & the focus ring is in a better position -allowing quick effective manual focus-which you'll need when using the 10D with one of these lenses and a 2x convertor (-> effective magnification of x25.6 @ 400mm lens setting). The Canon lens has slightly better optical qualities but as the 10D effectively crops the lens image from the centre this difference becomes irrelevant unless you go on to buy a full-frame digital camera.You'ed need to suss out how good the Sigma OS system is compared to Canon's IS as "vibration reduction" can make a huge contribution to getting a good image. The Sigma lens is cheaper at just under £900. The money saved will be needed for a good tripod & head.
Cheers,
Steve
