Good, sensible advise. That’s what I like [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Obviously less is best, but what is an acceptable upper limit for shutter count when buying used? Seen a full frame Sony SLT camera with 100k shutter count. Is that too much?

Possibly, but I live with parents (oh the shame) and I'd feel bad ruining their no claims on something that's mine. But if that's the only way, so be it.

Does anyone know of an insurance company that will insure a laptop which was bought over 12 months ago? It's nothing dodgy, just I've never insured my laptop, and I'm getting more and more paranoid that it will break one day!

They're the ones. Although strangely enough that's not the same website as before. Looks the same kit though. Cheers.

The other day I found a great cheap SD card holder accessory thing. Now I can't find it anywhere on the internet. To describe it, they were little rubber square things on a keyring, and the SD card was fitted in the middle. They came in different colours, and you got 4 for £7 or...

Maybe I've unwittingly told it to. :lol: Otherwise how does 102Gb of photos become less than 10Gb?!

I was thinking this last night. In iPhoto, I have 102Gb of photos, and although I don't have all my photos on my iPhone, I have the vast majority. And that only takes up 5Gb on the iPhone. So there must be some kind of compression..... *Awaits to be shot down in flames* :lol:

This is my other dilemma..... 3G or not 3G, that is my question? If I don't go 3G, then I can just use my iPhone as a hotspot, but that's a pain. Is it really worth the £100 extra for 3G?

Don't say that, I'll want 64Gb..... :lol:

I actually didn't know that. :lol: Fell stupid now, but I have worked a lot this weekend :( :lol:

Oh really?! Well you learn something knew every day. I would have thought they would have been compressed when they went onto the iPhone.

But the photos on my phone are teeny weeny, unlike the iPad which is just a bit bigger than teeny weeny. :lol:

I will probably go for the 32Gb one, something middle of the range. Photos will go on it via iPhoto on my Mac. And they will be good quality JPEGs. I think I have 5000 photos, but not all of those I'm interested in putting onto the iPad.

I'm looking to maybe get an iPad, but mainly for my photos. Is there any guide to show how many photos I'm likely to get on an iPad? I know all my photos are 8Gb on an iPhone, but it's going to be more on an iPad due to the size of the photos.
