Thanks for the welcome John our kits are very similar indeed.

Both of my cameras are Sony and though I have no experience with canon or nikon dslrs I am extremely happy with the image quality I am getting...also I have looked at reviews of the a65 and it looks like you made a good choice

After my laughter had subsided I figure you had a lucky escape to be honest, nutters like that should be avoided

Hi guys
I am a 35 year old male from London England and have just recently got into photography after my grandad gave me a digital SLR. I have been browsing the newsletter for a week or so and found it amusing, educational and interesting.
Speak to you again soon

My kit contains: Sony alpha a300, 18-70mm kit lens, Sony 70-300mm lens, Sony 50mm 1.8 lens and a Sony dsc-R1 along with various tripods filters and a third party battery grip and flashgun for the a300
