Hello Gupiparkour, no you can't record video on this camera, you would need one of the newer ones :)

Hi there gypsumF

I am looking for a cheap macro lens for my Canon EOS 400D and have found EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM. I really like the close up images and want a good affordable result. What do you think about the lens?

Very nice commercial btw. Nice calming voice aswell.

Hello phenexus,

I haven't used the EF-S 60mm macro lens as it is not compatible with the cameras I have. I use the MP-E65 f/2.8 1-5 x Macro and the EF100mm F2.8 USM Macro. However, from what I have seen on the web, many people speak very highly of it, and at £350 it is reasonably priced. I will get the chance to test it out in June, so feel free to email me after the 10th of that month and I will be able to give you a better idea then.

My email is j AT mytinygarden DOT com

Hello there gypsumF, you're probably long gone and not able to answer this but I am looking to buy a camera, that can take DoF/noise reduction, and all that jazz. I'm not the most camera technical guy, I am just looking for something to take pictures of(nice ones, not the handheld crappy ones) and upload them to my computer and edit them with photoshop.

I was thinking about the Canon 400D or the Nikon 40D, thanks if you do reply. It'd be really nice if you could reply in my Youtube account.

I have this 60mm lens. It's lovely. Try looking on ebay for a cheaper one, I got mine for about e250.

Nice advert. What's not to understand the man is speaking English

"... I'm fascinated by the way insects are put together - they look organic and mechanical at the same time. I am gobsmacked by just how detailed these things are. Just like us humans, no two insects look exactly alike, and that fascinates me. So it's like people watching, but on a real small scale. And, the fact that it's all just in my back garden is an incredible bonus."

"I spend a lot of time during the day in front of a computer screen, and to get out and look at something different, something living, breathing just a few steps outside my back door is a breath of fresh air.

Photographing insects - it's a fantastic source of entertainment for me. I like getting in close, and I like seeing details that you don't normally see with the naked eye...
