I'm going out to Eastern Creek . The Shannons car show . I'll be out there at around 10.30 or so . My mobile No. is 0409712403 . Just text me when you get out there and we can meet up somewhere .
Mitch is going . Anyone else ?
I don't know exactely what happens at this show , the info on the website is pretty vague but from the sounds of it they have been doing it for a few years prior so i'm guessing its reasonable well organised .

. Friday is the pic of days for me....no where near as crowded & they aren't as strict as where you can shoot from. Saturday is OK as well - Sunday - well, that is sitting at home watching it on TV with a big cold beer time for me
Will probably be doing the Friday / Saturday thing again this year myself....
Thats my way of thinking also . I'm more than happy to snap away for practice and quals and sit at home to watch the race . I'm planning on either ...A) Bathurst...... B) Motogp Philip Island or... C) Aus Superbike Philip Island which is in Nov ( i think )
Would love to do A ) and or B) but ... .. date wise its bad for me .But C) is almost a definite .
Today, Canon Australia today announced two new digital SLR models in a move to provide dedicated cameras for both serious enthusiast and professional photographers. To support its extensive EOS system Canon also announced two new EF zoom lenses, and a powerful new Speedlite.
Attached is all the specificattion on the above mention products
Canon's EOS 5D and EOS-1D Mark II N are compatible with the full range of Canon EF lenses (except EF-S Lenses), and EX-series Speedlites. The EOS-1D Mark II N, EF lenses and the Speedlite 430EX will be available through selected Canon Photo Dealers from September 2005, while the EOS 5D will be available from October 2005. Pricing is as follows:
EOS 5D: $5,495 RRP, including GST;
EOS-1D Mark II N: $6,999 RRP, including GST;
EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM: $1,999 RRP, including GST, and
Speedlite 430EX: $499 RRP, including GST.
Canon's EOS 5D answers many photographers' requests for a digital SLR camera with a Canon-developed full frame CMOS sensor. Measuring 36 x 24mm, the new CMOS sensor offers the holy grail of 1:1 lens conversion. Capturing truly high-resolution 12.8 megapixel images the EOS 5D offers three frames-per-second (fps) continuous shooting for up to 60 frames in a single burst. The EOS 5D is truly the digital SLR for photographers who want to take their photography further. Canon Professional Services (CPS) will start to return their focus directly to the professional range of cameras. The EOS5D has been designed with the enthusiest in mind. CPS will not be providing Evaluation loans and repair/replacements on this model and will be doing the same for the EOS20D by the end of this month.
If you have any querries regarding the above information please contact CPS on the details below.

WHAT THE $5.5k How much is a 1D2?? $5k?
Yeah but canon's Aust price for the 17-40L is $1599 RRP thats only $650 dearer than a good ebay store. What will be the street price
$5.5 for the 5 D is friggin insane . I think if anyone was that badly after full frame i'd buy a 35mm EOS body and use your current digi for setup then use the film bod for the shots . Just a thought . $5.5 yikes .

I agree. What about a 20D with the 10-22mm? Does the 1.6FOV at 10mm give you *exactly* the same picture as a FF at 16mm? Would there be more distortion with the former??
Shot from today at the Shannons car thing at Eastern Creek . Ton of cars there . Met FM er Mitch_F1 out there briefly . He was there for a while so should have a bag full of shots .
$5.5k
