SO..... i've been offered a very nice canon 400D which in all honesty am probably going to end up buying. What are the chances of me getting something like the shot of Ed-O on his ibis mojo? you know the one.... black and white.. silver p*sspot lid and goggles. lots of rocks.

I'm sure if you ask Ed nicely he'll let you..

To be honest, its not just about the camera, more the photographer..

Just cos you have a great camera, doesn't mean it will turn you instantly into David Bailey..

I plumped for Nikon D40 with stock 18-55 about 6months ago.

Its cheap, light and works with my older lenses (with manual focus),

I'd get one again if it broke.

Check out Ken Rockwell's blog.

As others have said, it's not really about the camera... (but SLRs have their place).

For every good shot you see published in a magazine or online, there will be 10-12 others that didn't make it. The answer to your question is to take lots of photos. Some will be utter rubbish, some will be average and just occasionally you'll get some which will be fantastic.
