It could also be to do with the amount of RAM you have installed. Vista doesn't seem to like installing with 3GB+, thus you need to remove one stick of ram so that you have 2GB or less before installing. If this is the case - a reinstall after you've removed a stick of ram is all it will take :)

Heh, sounds like you were doing it wrong :nuts: Did you grab your Mac drivers from your Mac partition before hand? Then install them as soon as you got into Windows? I should imagine you did, but that's the first thing that comes to mind. For me it ran just as fast as a Windows system in all...

If you were to buy a new Mac, with an Intel Core2Duo processor, then you could have the best of both worlds by installing Boot Camp. With this you could partition your harddrive into a Mac partition and a Windows partition. Yipee :) The downside? Well put bluntly, you could get a similar spec...

Be prepared to talk about the photos you've brought with you; which one do you feel is the most striking/your personal favourite etc. and also the reasons why you setup the photo as you did. You could take some examples of photographs you've taken, and then how you've manipulated them in...

I'm a huge fan of Black and White. There's something about that, if done correctly, really makes a photo 'pop'. I agree with Paulie though, it does depend on the shot.

Thanks, that's really helpful. I'll look into the stores around me and see if I can find a A200 model that I can have a try-before-i-buy with. Either way, generally would it be cheaper to order off the net or instore when it comes to SLRs?

OK that sounds great. Ideally then, i'm looking for £250-£300 for the Camera (perhaps the A200?) then £100 for the lens, as I can plump to £400 if necessary. I'm realising now that i'm very low down the grade of cameras (I expected to be near the bottom but not quite so low :lol:) but still it...

Aha okay, thats good to know that i'm half covered. Are we talking big-bucks for a macro lens? Excuse my ignorance, but everyone has to learn sometime :)

Oh sorry, I didn't realise I had missed off a budget! Doh! :lol: Most probably looking about about £250-£350 for primarily nature/landscape photography. Thanks for the help so far, i'l start to delve into those links!

Hey, I've got into photography quite a bit these past few months, however I haven't got much in the way of a 'real' camera. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a decent camera for an amateur such as myself? I'm cautious not to go too cheap just for the sake of saving a few bob, so I...
