I'm going to start my own Polaroid club.

You will no doubt be the Coolest people out there then.

Not many of the young ones will appreciate that im sure

You'd be surprised. The kids are into polaroids. These were made by my friend/student. They were made with old polaroid films. The colors are pretty amazing.

oops you missed the humor when i said coolest i was referring to the fanning of the exposure to get it to develop faster.
but yes that medium is definitly an art form. it was nice to see it rescued for obscurity not so long ago.

Hello GraphicGr8s. Thanks for the tips. The 18-55 lens i have does have AF/MF and IS and isn't a bad lens. I would like at some point like to upgrade it though and the 18-200 does get very good reviews and it falls into the budget i am willing to put aside. I do have a 16gb SDHC HD 30 mps card that came with the camera as well as a 2gb standard SDHC from my old camera. The reason that i went for the 32gb was purely for HD Movies (got a baby due in April). Plus Amazon are doing them half price ! Is there a flashgun that you would recommend ? Jessops are doing the Canon Speedlite 320EX with LED for £195 online offer.
I am hopefully going to be setting up my planted tank this weekend and plan on keeping a photo diary of the intial set up and progress. I am thinking about doing time lapse project with the tank too and hopefully over 5 months take enough pictures to produce a 30-45 second movie clip of the tank growing. I reckon if i do around 100-150 shots each weekend over the 5 month period i should have enough to run it at 25 fps to give a decent time lapse clip.

Hi Alistair
I assume you are in the UK as you mention Jessops. For a flash or lens try out MPB photographic (they deal in used canon and nikon gear) very very good service from them and good prices as well. Also check out the for sale section in any of the photographic mags you will normally find a good deal there as well.
Oh by the way congrats on the imminent arrival.
