    The Canon eos 500D is a fantastic camera! The secret to getting the best out of it is to stop using the Auto and other preset modes as soon as possible - Aperture priority tends to be your best bet for most occasions, though full manual serves well for studio work.

    If you have any queries regarding photography or editing, I'm always happy to help out if I can! PS... Happy New Year :)

    Hiya I got a Canon eos 500D, but i think it will take me many months to find out what it can do :-) but i am getting in to all of this at a fast pace. I even tried some airbrushing today. I had no idea which camera to go for in the end but the guy at Comet recommended it. Hopfully it is a good one.

    Thank you Trucks79! I believe I took all of these with a Canon 400D dslr fitted with a 60mm macro lens. I am currently using a Nikon d700 with a Tamron 90mm macro lens. What camera did you get?
