A wide range of prices for the product. $299 locally in Canada and B&H in NY is $236 USD and this price includes the shipping. I found another online shop called Calibration Direct who had the lowest price $209.90 USD shipping included but I don't know if they are a reliable/trusted seller. Anyone bought through them and wish to pass along their thoughts? I'd really appreciate an endorsement of Calibration Direct before I buy!

Great stories and wonderful tips. I wish now that I spoke German and French so I could read the other 2 blogs. You three were great together. Oh yeah... you all need to barge into the conversation more when the native English speakers are on the podcast and talking - you three speak just as well as we do ;-) for that matter you probably speak better English than most of us. LOL. I wanted to say, I have only had my camera a short while, but I've been contemplating buying a 50mm prime lens. Now I know I'll do so very soon and that the f/1.8 is the one I want. I love that this episode came up as I started looking into the purchase. I was worried over what type to get and if I needed to get the faster f/1.4. I believe it was Benoit who made great points on the use of the two different lenses and so I will get the less expensive one and have fun! I may eventually splurge on the more expensive lens - but I'll wait to see how my photography progresses. Besides, this leaves me more for a wide angle lens and a macro lens... Gotta love the internet - it's a wonderful place. Hey Chris, terrific episode! Great stories and wonderful tips. I wish now that I spoke German and French so I could read the other 2 blogs.

A few weeks ago I found a site that listed the average death of each canon. It went a little like this:
XTi - 50k
30D - 150k
40D - 150k
5D - 200k
1D Mk III - 300k-500k (don’t really remember)
1Ds Mk III - 300k-500k (don’t really remember)

Just thought I would throw in my bit of knowledge!

I joined the lunch and tourist crowd for a break at the food court at the Westfield outdoor shopping center here in San Diego. It was a beautiful sunny day. There were quite a few people taking snapshots of each other, like most tourist do. I pulled up my D300 with the grip and not too large lens, the Tamron 50-17 f/2.8 to see what happened. I made some nice photos of the colorful surrounding. It took about two minutes before a representative from the Westfield marketing department approach me and asked for my photo permit. I said I just shoot for fun like everyone else and didn't have a permit. She asked for my business card for the "organization I represented". I told her again that I just shoot for fun. Than she said that she had to call for security if I continued taking photos. Well, I assume Westfield is private property, even though the outdoor environment more looks like a regular shopping street, so she was probably correct. However, shoe couldn't tell me which laws or regulations that prevented me from taking photos. This shows that with a SLRs you are probably a terrorist, but with a 12MP point-and-shoot with an equivalent zoom you are just a tourist.

On a whim, I actually looked up the dolphin buddy website, and the photo of the girl who won the free workshop spot looks amazingly like the girl at Sea World San Antonio who ran the Killer Whale show when I visited last week. Same girl? Weird.
