I've finally decided to bite the bullet and get a DSLR. I've been extremely happy with my Coolpix 5700 except for the shutter lag. My photography interests have expanded to wanting to take dance photos. When I mostly took scenery shots the 5700's shutter lag wasn't important. Trying to take dance...

Hi there, I have a Nikon D80 with a 18 - 135mm lens. Whilst an excellent lens for everyday pictures - I cant get near enough to any animal/wildlife opportunities. So - I'm looking to get a new telephoto lens for wildlife photography. What can people recommend - under £300 ideally? Gareth

My Nikon Coolpix S6 camera has started draing batteries in about 1 day when switched off. The battery recharges alright. Changing the battery makes no difference. The camera works alright apart from this fault. Any suggestions?

I'm trying to find out the purchase price of a Nikon D70 kit (with the 18-70 lens) when bought new in March 2005 from Jessops.....! I know its a long shot but mines has just been involved in a nasty accident and I can't find the receipt for the insurance. I did tell the insurance company...

Just to let anyone who's interested know that I bought a D90 today:) My D80 was terminally ill so this seemed the logical choice..So far ,so good but I have to confess I can't bring myself to use the 'movie mode '..It just seems so wrong on a DSLR..I suppose I will find a use for it and I can...

I now have some time on my hands and decided to purchase a Nikon D40X. The only one available locally eas with the 13-55mm lens. I have dusted off my old kit that I used some!!!! years ago and find that I have my favourite lens Rokkor 50-135mm from my Minolta X300. I also have a Practor 300mm,...

Hi, I have been looking at some lenses online, to enhance my D50. The two that I really like the look of, and are within my 'tight' budget, are the following. TAMRON AF 18-250 mm f3.5-6.3 (62 mm) £299 SIGMA 18-200 mm f3.5-6.3 (62 mm). £229 The Sigma is slightly cheaper, but the Tamron...

Hi all, I have a problem with one of my kit lenses that I got when I purchased the D50 new. It's the 55-200-mm lens. It's always worked well in the past, but just recently it won't work on auto-focus. It works fine on manual focus ,but won't even attempt to move on auto focus. The 18-55-mm...

This camera is new to me & I have a question. With the camera in auto mode, should the focus lock button be set at the "L" or the "dot". Thanks in advance, LA

At present i am using a Nikon D80 with a DX 18-135 ED lens, I'm using this lens for portrait photography and i'm not getting the results i was hoping for, can anyone advice me on what sort of lens to use, and if i spend another 4-£500 will my pictures be any better or will they be similar to what...

Hi there. I am pondering into getting a macro lens for the D70s. Problem is, all the ones I have come across are quite pricey. Does anyone know of a lens that could possible accomodate an average wage packet? :) Spooks

Any suggestions about the best batteries to use with the SB-600? Should the 'Ready' light always come on after the unit is switched on and after the flash is used before taking another shot? My ready light is not showing at all but the flash is working anyway! Any comments will be...

I've been looking through the photo galleries and come across what seems a discrepancy in the exif info. of the Nikon D50. Their doesn't seem to be info. on the iso setting in the exif. I have had a look at a couple of members photo's took with D50's and they have the same info. missing. Is...

Hello All I am looking at buying a D70 or D50, the main differences that i can see when comparing them on the Jessops website is that the D70 has 'depth of field' preview, could anyone tell me what this means. Sorry I'm still learning. Thanks Lee

I bought a D70 in March 05 and slowly but surely I have acquired dust on the sensor. To cut long story short the best I can do is move the stuff around. I have blowing devices and various cleaning devices all have failed. Tomorrow I am taking it to a professional repairer in Plymouth. Has...

:D Hello. Just purchased my new Nikon D50 DSLR and getting to grips. Had a compact Cannon Ixus v3 for years and wanted to move to the next stage. Been doing some research on the daddy of all topics - lenses, and want to purchase a 28-300mm AF macro. Nikon seem a little pricey but seen that Tamron...

The new Nikon D80 is announced today with its own website. With 10MP and D70 pricing this is a real challenge to low end Canons (30D and 350D). John

I know Canon like the back of my hand but I know nothing about Nikon. I very quickly progressed from a 300D to a 350D to a 20D and now a 1DmkIIN. But if I was to do the same with Nikon what would the equivalent models be :confused: Please note I've not read up on this, it's just one of...

After a lot of looking around and wondering what camera to get next...the Nikon D200 is becoming a possibility. I am surprised at that... as the Canon 5D and the lenses released with it seemed the likely best bet.. but that feeling soon faded and I'm not sure that camera offers enough for...
