Surely most of you either got something, or treated yourself to something?

Battery grip (for 400D)
Canon 24-70mm L series (ooh yeah:D)

Nothing really, going to wait for the new year. Congrats on the new gear we need to see some shots!! Personally I would use nothing else for a wedding than a 24-70L its that good a lens.

nothing Guess his sleigh got stuck and he cant deliver my sigma ringflash just yet... should be here soon tho

Borderfox

Without a shadow of a doubt, porbably the finest piece of glass Canon has made, and yes on a crop I would use it as there is nowhere in the church that the 24-70L would have any difficulty.

I got a fancy new bag that will hold all my stuff and I also got a new tripod so I don't have to use my dad's ancient 70s one. Never felt safe with my camera on that thing!

kensutz

I only treated myself to a battery grip. filters and reflector kits. Must pick up a flash and then this. Then maybe a 1Ds MK III*

Any spare Canon stuff going? Or are you taking the piss?

rymus

if I do decide to change sides, there'll be a lot of spare canon stuff going.. If that does happen though, all you fine people will be among the first to know.

Roen

No good will come of it I tells ya!

shepthedog

Got no gear for christmas but the gf did pay for a half day photo event back a few weeks ago, looking to get myself a battery grip, sigma 10-20mm and new bag for my gear in the new year.

Feck and all, respectively. I wound up having to order from Ebay earlier this morning. :[

Stokolan

The Gf didn't know what to get me and I just happened to be going thru the argos site and saw this Canon 28-135mm IS for €289 seemd a good deal seen as on Argos UK it was going for £399 also around the same price on other few sites I looked at. She also got me a gold voucher for TopGifts.ie I might be able to go use my camera on something

I got two tickets to Oz, leaving Thursday, back in a month, I'm hoping to take some photos with the gear I have.:p

Love it. Only new to this photography lark, but spent a lot of time reading about it the last few weeks. Got some great shots this morning. I like the way after one day I can do all sorts of depth of field messing and do slow shutter speeds.

Admittedly I don't have anything to compare it to. But I was really amazed at the quality of the shots.
The auto settings are really not up to much though.

challengemaster

who buys a dslr to use in auto mode lol!
