Re: Hi all - Advice needed
I want to get my hands on one, but I think it's pretty good from the specs.
I'm biased because I have 3 canons already :)
But I like the anti-dust measures and wish my 20D had them !
I wouldn't take it fishing, as it's not as waterproof as the 1D pro bodies.
But then I wouldn't take £2-4,000 of body to sea either :o
Photo-John was reviewing some waterproof, shockproof cameras that he uses for biking that might be good for going to sea...
You may end up with two cameras eventually, unless you're braver with your SLR than I am !

Thanks,
I understand what your saying about fishing and the waterproof factor. However, I will just train myself into following a procedure where I pack the camera away in a seperate case away from any water.
The beach fishing I do is pretty handy as the fish hook themselves and you don't have to run to a rod once they bite to get em in. That gives me time to put the camera away safely.
I tell you, some of the rock marks I fish down the south coast and especially when I do Cornwall are absolutely astounding. The US photographers on here would absolutely love it. I'm not saying they have'nt got their own great places because they have, but their is something very special about a sunset over a Cornish fishing village or rocky outcrop fishing spot.
Re: Hi all - Advice needed
Yes, I love Cornwall from when I was a kid down there in the summers.
If you're taking care, then the 400D is splash proof it it's like my 20D
I've actually got that wet enough to need towelling dry and it worked no problem.
It wouldn't survive a wave though.
And your lens, if it's not an 'L' series is likely to get inundated first I think.
Even my 100-400L didn't survive a thunderstorm...
