Hi all, I read a book/app that I found quite neatly done, so I thought I would mention it for others to consider. It seems to be priced at £2.99 at this moment, so less than one edition of many photo magazines. It is called: Master Your DSLR Camera: A Better Way to Learn Digital...

I'm looking to buy a new digital SLR. Jessops have a deal on the Cannon EOS 1100D - complete with 2 lenses, card, filters and bag for £450. Any thoughts on this camera? Or any other advice on a good reasonably priced digital SLR? Thanks, Fred.

I was bought a Canon Powershot SX220 HS at Christmas and have been taking some photos. I now need to consider storage and organisation before my collection gets any larger. Storage wise, I'm concerned I may take loads of photos and then lose them if something catastrophic happens to the...

My wife Susan, has asked for a new camera for Xmas. I am looking for recomendations. I am looking for a compact, costing no more than £200. Would like to have GPS if possible.

I have recently started taking pictures in raw format can anyone suggest good software to download and edit the files in, the software that came with the camera seems a little basic I was thinking of photoshop elements.

Greetings experts! I've recently inherited a box load of older generation photographic equipment, including a couple of 35mm cameras (Praktica and Yashica) and a host of associated ancillary equipment (lenses, filters, flash guns, etc). I'm all digital these days, and it's of no use to me, but...

I noticed the sound my camera makes when taking photos has recently changed. It's no longer a sharp click of the shutter but is accompanied by a sound almost like a small motor, a little hard to describe. The photos coming out of the camera are still fine, I think the camera is on about 17,000...

Guys Im thinking of getting a Samsung NX5 from Jessops soon and was wondering if anyone has any experiences of these? I have had a look in store and read some good things about it so if anyone has any comments that would be great. Thanks!

As I've mentioned, I'm going to the Galapagos next year. I plan on snorkeling several times during the trip and would love to get some photos. Other times I've used single use/disposable underwater cameras and have not been happy at all with the image quality. I'm wondering if anyone has had any...

I'm thinking about getting a portable photo storage device instead of several SD cards. My thought is that when I'm traveling I can move photos from the SD card(s) I have to the storage device and reuse the SD card the next day. Even though it's kind of expensive, I'm considering is the Digital...

Hi Guys, I picked up an old Brownie Reflex camera in a charity shop the other day, didn't know anything about it but thought it looked interesting. I need to locate some 127 film for it. Does anybody use anybody that may supply it still? The places I get my 120 film from don't do it any more.

My wife has decided to take up photography as a hobby. She is into making scrap books pages and wants to add her own photos. The question is what camera. I have always used Canon. Any ideas about other makes. Maybe Nikon of Fuji.

Eileen and I bought a Kodak ZXi6 a few years back and it gave sterling service as a pocketable camcorder. It's now knackered. I went to the WHICH? site and they recommend a couple of Flip ones as best buys. However, they also showed a first look at a newer smaller Kodak, the ZX1. They sell for...

I'm going to the Galapagos and Machu Picchu next May and had it highly suggested to me to get a pair of walking/hiking sticks for the trip, especially the Galapagos. I also understand that they make combo walking/hiking sticks and monopod/tripods. Does anyone have experience with such a device...

I am going on a trip to these countries soon and intend to take a lot of photos, can I upload them here? Do I have to pay? Liv

Hi all Before I upload any images I would just like to ask if its ok to improve any images in Photoshop before posting in the photo gallery thanks Jim:confused:

I am thinking about buying a new camera for less than $1000 (600-700L). The Canon EOS Rebel T2i caught my eye yesterday. Does anyone have any better suggestions? Thanks, David

Hi all, After much looking around the WWW and this super site I have now finally spent some money on a new DSLR. I have bought a Nikon D5000 and now need to read the manual and get out and start snapping. Hopefully we will have a new just for fun comp up and running soon - ~I do miss them. I...

I have just downloaded Adobe Lightroom 3.on a 30 day free trial. First impressions, good.

Hi all, Just a line to say that I keep watching out for GPS enabled cameras to come out.. but I am not seeing any! If anyone spots any please do say here. I've wanted a camera that adds GPS location info to my photos automatically for a very long time now. Thanks in advance for any...

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and would like to say ' hi and Merry Christmas to you all''. Back in the 80's and early 90's I was in the photographic industry where I worked in professional sales (Keith Johnson), as an assistant photographer, printer and eventually a freelance photographer. I...

Now that I'm ready to take the plunge into the DSLR world I was wondering about filters. Do I use the same concepts with a DSLR as I did with my film SLR? For my film SLR, I had UV and polarizing filters. Do I want the same for a DSLR? What filters do you use? TIA

Does anybody have any experience with wide angle lenses? I really like the effect of wide angle lenses and have always quite fancied one but never really looked too much into them because of price. When I had my old Minolta I got a cheap £70 fisheye off ebay which had some adapter rings, this fits...

I am considering purchasing this camera. Currently I have a sony alpha 100 with the standard kit lens and I got the minolta beercan lens and an old 400mm sigma lens from ebay. Does anyone have experience with this camera?
