Erm I don't know what she means. As far as I knew a polaroid camera was one of them ones where you take a shot and it prints it out on the polaroid film and you 'shake it like a polaroid picture' :P I suppose I want one like this...

Hey guys, not posted in a while. My girlfriend wants a Polaroid camera for christmas and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on which one to buy? I'm looking at spending under £100 and preferably under £75 as there's a few other things I want to buy her. Thanks for the help guys

Will give them a look! Thanks mate

She's a total beginner using CS5 :)

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a book for my mum for christmas. She wants to learn how to process the photos she takes and stuff. I was wondering if you had any ideas what books are good? Thanks

For astronomical uses you'd probably want at least 10x50 :)

Had a play with the A55 in Jessops the other day in between getting asked three bloody times if I needed help.. I quite liked the EVF, the horizon thing you see is quite cool. The sweep panoramic thing is good too, as is the ability to shoot movies which I would quite like in a camera. I'd go...

I'm just confused about the relevance of the apertures and why it's mentioned in the names of the lenses. For instance I am a Sony owner and I've read a lot of reviews on the 50mm 1.8. In a lot of the reviews, people state that they rarely use f1.8 as it provides awful bokeh. So I didn't really...

I read about this exact reason and got a tamron zoom lens instead. Won't be getting Sigma lenses just incase.

This is what I don't get though.. Say you used a f1.8 lens at f5.6 and then used an f2.8 lens at f5.6. Would the picture you take look the exact same as they're taken at the same aperture? Or would the f1.8 be of higher quality because it has a wider aperture and always lets more light in?

What does it mean? For instance the nifty fifty, f/1.8. What does this mean? Does it mean it gathers more light so photos taken indoors are higher quality? Or does it mean that this is the aperture you can go down to with this Lens on your camera?

Why's Koolpc been banned?

Entered, thanks for the heads up!

Anyone reckon Sony will release a DSLR with video capabilities?

Can someone help me with a problem I'm having with manual mode.. I can't find a way to change the aperture! The only way I've found how to change it is to go into aperture priority mode, set the aperture then come back to manual mode and set the shutter speed. Surely there is a better way of...
