Hi Just to add to this - I've been looking at buying nikon 3100D which gives you most of what the canon does but cheaper - no external sound microphone possible tho - happy to hear from anyone who has one or is using nikon with mac
I borrowed a friend's Canon EOS 400D today which did a good job, however wont connect to iphoto or mount. Seems to be a common problem with the RAW files and those editions of canons http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=698618 Best regards Justin Davies [email protected] www.justindavies.com.au 0414 567 638 9309 9309 Linked In: www.linkedin.com/in/justinkdavies Business website: www.emergination.com.au Twitter: www.twitter.com/justinkdavies On 10 Nov 2010, at 8:34 PM, Ray Forma wrote: > > Marlene, > > This may be a bit expensive, but a very convenient two-in-one solution. > > A Canon EOS 550D gives you an 18 MPixel digital SLR camera, as well as a 1920 > x 1080 25 fps (full HD) movie camera.
