Thanks for the recommendations guys, think I will go for a sling afterall!!

Hi all, Just picked up a new Fujifilm X-T1 which I can't wait to play with - but as with cameras I've had in the past the included neck strap is pretty cheap and uncomfortable. So for the first time I'm thinking about buying one that's kinder to the neck, what strap would you recommend? Thanks!

Thanks for the replies everyone, still swaying towards the Samsung ST1000 though. Its mainly going to be used at parties/at the pub so I'm really not fussed about zoom, and the touch screen and wireless connectivities are a definite bonus. If there isn't another compact with better picture...

I'm hoping so, it does have that too good to be true feel to it though, there are just too many compacts to choose from!

Hey everyone, I'm looking at getting a compact digital cam to go in my pocket when our DSLR (Canon 400D) can't. You lot were so great when choosing our DSLR that I wanted to ask your advice! I've been looking at the Samsung ST1000 which looks awesome, anyone had any experience with it...

Ooo I just took some in the garden, posting what I think are the best ones now...

Can it connect to a networked drive? Or do you have to use windows media player/windows connect?

Yep thats the one :) In black of corse ;)

Hey guys, what I'm looking for is a Wi-Fi enabled digital frame that will download photos from a folder on my network hard drive. Anyone know of/own one that does that? Thanks, -Ben

Oh just seen page 2! I went with a hi-speed 4GB CF card, which has been nice and quick so far. I got the camera + 18-55mm lens, UV filter, 4GB ULTRA card, decent bag and Jessops 3 year new for old warrenty for £508, which I was very happy with. Just learning it all now! The most advanced...
