There was a nice Sony 1080p camcorder system going ut the price on jumped right up at the end, it was cliffhanger watching 2 buyers trying outbit and outwit each other with last second bids. I dropped out when I could see how that was going. Shame because it have been nice to take that some airshows and make my own DVD's up. :popcorn:

Keep an eye out for half decent DSLRs on eBay. Got me a Nikon D3200 body a while ago for £80. That does full 1080p video. Lens turn up for a reasonable amount as well. Haven’t used the damn thing yet bar a run round Kew Gardens.

I was going to pop a few photos from the recent Fly Navy airshow at Old Warden on here but I don't want to e the person that continually leads the forum slightly astray. So instead I'm going to past a link to my son's web site and forum where he has written a show report and supported it with lots of his own photos.

We both have the same cameras but he has a very expensive professional lens which does indeed show in the photos. I hope I'm not breaking any rules by doing this, if so then I apologize now for doing so. The photos are clickable and will take you to a high res photo. Hope those of you who enjoy aviation photos will like them.

Never heard that term before. Had to Google it. Must be one of those quaint English terms.  ;D

And what about the 2465 I stole last month for $60 USD? Doesn't that qualify?

Thanks but if I was going to down that route I'd stick with Canon as I already have Canon cameras and the lenses. I was thinking about getting the next model up from mine which also does 1080p video, but it like I think the Nikon, has a all plastic body which struggles to adequately support a 300mm telephoto lens, especially my sons L series  lens which is so large and heavy. Our existing camera bodies have magnesium bodies to both take the weight of the lenses and protect against accidental knocks etc.

Yes it does, you jammy git, fact is that so many of us are jammy gits at different times because either we are in the right place at the right or we are such good negotiators. I think however the jammiest git of us all has to be Ero-Shan with that massive dumpster diving haul of his last year  |O
