Thanks Doug,

I am thinking of buying a Canon EOS 550D. We already have an old Canon EOS 300 analog camera so we are use to Canons around here.

A 550D body only, will set me back around $750 USD. I think this is good amount to pay as will also be an excellent photo and video camera. I can justify the extra expense because of its dual purpose. I can also re-use the old lens from the EOS 300 on the new DLSR.

The other feature I like about the new Canon DLSR range is the LiveView. I assume using LiveView I will be able to focus on an object using the camera's screen without having hook up a laptop etc? I won't be guiding for now.

I may be able to get away with no buying a T-adaptor as my Baader Hyperion eyepieces are suppose to be threaded for a Canon lens.

Should be a good adventure. Now if the skies will ever clear up in Sydney, I might be able to try something!

Cheers

James
