If one did choose to use a filter - which sort/type/brand do you classify as "top quality"? I am sticking with the hood for now, but it is interesting learning about kit recommendations. :)

I know nothing about camera insurance, but.. E&L also do horse insurance, and its widely known that they are not the best insurance company to use - even though the quotation will generally be quite low. In fact, my veterinary practice make you pay the bill if you are insured with E&L so that...

Thanks Scott - I guess I will have to simply try one!

Another grip-related question! Lots of you are saying that they are really useful if you have big hands - is the reverse true? Do ladies with dainty hands find it easier to not use a grip, or should it not make any difference? I have a 60D, and am just at the point where I keep a spare battery...

Yeah, thank you all so much for the help and advice - I will just have to man up a bit and delve into the deeper recesses of the camera's capabilities. I have anxiety about learning how to use all of the different features, but clearly it is something I will have to deal with!

Thanks guys - I was indeed in one of the basic zones! I had made the assumption that a basic zone would suit a beginner and would be the correct setting. I switched it onto "P" for today's efforts (I had turned my computer off before I saw the "TV" suggestion) and I am hoping that they are a...

Hi Stuart - I have looked on the sports direct website for Lonsdale bags - is it this sort of thing you have? http://www.sportsdirect.com/lonsdale-2-stripe-flight-bag-700593

Thank you Jim! I will have another go this afternoon and report back. :)

Thanks for sharing the shame! Unfortunately, I did think to check that, and it was still on AF on the lens. I am still searching the forums on here and looking through the manual, and I can't see how to have only one AF point whilst in AI Servo. It must be possible - I know people can take...

Thanks Andy - I am still wading through the documentation that came with the camera - I don't suppose you - or anyone else - know offhand how to set it to use only one AF point? I am going to take both cameras out today so hopefully I will be able to get some pics on the 20D if I can't work out...

If your pictures are hosted on Flickr, you simply press the "share" button and copy the UBB code and paste into your thread. Otherwise, you can use the "insert image" icon on the bit where you type the message, and put the link to your hosted image in there. Good luck!

Thanks for the tips - I will have another go tomorrow and see if I have any more luck. I shall look at the manual tonight to see if it tells me more about the autofocus - I simply cannot get this camera to do it, and I am not sure if it is my fault (I am happy to believe it is user error) or...

Hi guys, Firstly - Thank you for all of the help you gave me a couple of months back when I was selecting lenses etc. I now appear to have developed a new problem insofar as I am having problems with focus. I am sure I have probably changed a setting without realising it, but I cannot...

I would be pleased to be able to take pics that clear in an indoor, Jim! Am now awaiting the arrival of a 60D. Nearly went for the 7D after reading some discussions on here, but I think the 60 will be enough of an improvement on the 20 for me to learn some more on.. Thanks all!

Cheers Moreorless. :)
