Re: Canon body only?

Quote:
Body only means just that: no lens. You will need to attach a lens before you can use it for photography. Cameras are sold as such if the photographer doesn't wish to have the lens(s) that come as part of a promotional kit, or they already have the lenses they intend to use.
Thanks folks for clearing that one up - my confusion was caused by a seller on a well-known site advertising 'body only' and then going on about the photos he'd taken with said item (I do get fed-up of being so thick sometimes!)

Is this shot the sort of thing you want?
Well, not bug-eyes, but what I do need is something like the Forget-me-not shot below large enough to use as part of a digital slideshow......and to be able to see whether a plant has glandular or forked hairs etc on the stem or calyx.
At the moment I'm having to crop so hard to get to the usable pixels that my photos are ok for web-use but something 1200 x 1200 pixels (and often smaller) isn't going to cope on a large screen.
