Santa delivered the goods

Well he did for me anyway. Got my Canon 40D from him yesterday. Looking forward to taking some really good shots with this.

Anyone else have new additions to their camera bags since yesterday ??

.Longshanks.

Picked up a second hand sigma 18-50mm f2.8 that really should have waiting until the 25th (it didn't!)

Paulw

I got a remote trigger and a few new memory cards.

GF got a new P&S from me.

Same here, plus a nice light tripod and a HD JVC Everio Camcorder

yiorgos

I got a Canon 1000D with a bag and an 8 gig memory card. It is my first DSLR too and I am delighted with it!

Slidinginfinity

I got my Minolta back and the Leica as a lifetime loan (it was my grandfathers), and Santa brought a new Slik tripod AND a Manfrotto monopod (wasn't expecting either but wanted both).
Picked myself up a SB-600, a camera bag, a IR remote for the Nikons, and a couple other bits.
OH, yeah and one of these.



Still hunting for the elusive reasonably priced SX-70.

WedPhoto

I got me 2x16gb sandisk extreme 3 and a 1TB western digital hdd

thebaz

my bank account is still in shock after Santas pre Christmas Nikon 17 - 55 purchase - hope it proves good value

I've already posted one... And you've already thanked it:D

Me messing with slow shutter speed and attempting to write "Xmas" in the air with my phone screen!

pullandbang

Santa brought me loads so I must have been really good this year.
Two books by Bryan Peterson and the collection of photos from the "Photographing New York) exhibition in the IMMA at the monment - that is CLASS with a big C, big L and a big ASS.
Also got me a 75-300mm USM Canon lens - sweet:)

Glad you clarified that you didn't buy it in Newry, Maine which would, of course, have been the obvious conclusion of any Irish reader. Is there a sarcasm emoticon?

Best of luck with it anyway.

broad_sword

Got a Sekonic L358 light meter.... so far so good!

twowheelsonly

New Lowepro bag for me.
Delighted with it apart from the fact that it doesn't have a monopod holder/strap. McGyver time!!

I got the 1.8 version for 120 euro. Well, the girlfriend did. Is there a huge difference between the two?

dinneenp

Got a Canon S90. 265 euros in the US, local shop in Galway selling it for 520!
Also got 2 Bryan Peterson books.

Some people might not have known where Newry was at all, let alone that there's one in Maine too.

Not many, like, but I know a few heads this far south who aren't aware of various towns around N.I.

Santa brought nothing camera related for me, except permission to take a few snaps of the fiancee but I did help Santa out by giving a friend an old Minolta 35mm film camera that I had lying around unused

F.14 has USM (ultra sonic motor) and is a more sturdy build, but you can't fault the 1.8 for the price.

Lady_North

Hubby got me the 70-200mm lens for my canon 50d and the canon Ixus 100 for keeping in my handbag. lol. Dying to get out with my news lens and give it a go.

AnCatDubh

photobox published by Thames Hudson - looks like a cracking compendium

Not quite santa, but i splashed out and it arrived 2 days before christmas (so it probably counts) on a second hand book - "Shaw on Photography" which cost me the princely sum of £4.75 including postage. I never knew about GB Shaw's interest in photography. I'm enjoying having a read of the commentary and arguments of the high, middle, and low brow of the photographic society of the 1890's and after. It appears not much changes

Magnum

I just got a Canon 450D, now I just have to figure out how to work it......

It's a MICRO USM, not the full blown one. It's made of plastic and from reading reports is prone to give up the ghost a bit too easy. Picture quality is excellent though.

eightcell

Loving my new 18-200mm VR, its the business!

sineadw

Got a Manfrotto 055Xprob tripod and 808Rc4 head and bag

ThOnda

Santa was generous already last few weeks before Christmas, so 24" of pleasure is in front of my eyes.
And Santa delivered old 300D (or was it 250D?) with kit lense and card reader to lucky person that is jumping over the moon last few days. I love being Santa. I wish I could travel a little more... (Joke for those who know.)

njburke

Sineadw, same tripod and head that I have.
Santa brought me a nikon FG along with its companion SB-23, what he's been doing with it for the last 25 years I'm not sure.

Chorcai

30D+Grip+580EXII flash, I was a very good boy.:D:D:D

I got none of these on the day but it still counts !

DK32

Took a trip into Conns the other day and picked up a 5 in 1 reflector, off body flash cord and a couple of weather proof plastic camera bags. Oh and 3 rolls of colour film

itsmine

I was delighted to get a flash, a UV lens filter, a lens clearning cloth, a pop-up studio box with different coloured inserts (for the product photos I take) and a book on photographic lighting. Can't wait to play with it all!

xia

Got a 1TB external hdd so that I now can change to RAW (maybe for now only to see what exactly that means;)) but definitely should have enough space for new pics - if I find the time to take some:o

And got a tripod. When's the next nightwalk???

Not exactly a christmas present but as my father doesn't use it anymore: got his Voigtlaender VITO BL. When's the next film meet??? (will search the net for a manual now...)

DBIreland

Santa brought a Canon 450D and a nifty fifty 1.8.

Now I have to think of things to take pictures of, I'm hoping to get inspiration for my birthday :pac:
