and after ringing up the deal was only earlier in the week

what about warranty issues with these products? would they be covered by UK service centres?

ahh now ive read the above post and realised that i assumed for some reason that 12 foot is 4 metres as opposed to 3.6, mine would be out...

oh yeah forgot to say that I also assuming your gonna use the camera in portrait, no chance it'll work landscape :P

I reckon its possible, but this is based on a couple of assumptions, first that the simple lens formula will work (should be a decent apporximation I hope), that the stated distance of 12 foot is literally where your camera can be placed (so this might be right up against the wall) buut I think...

Happened to look across at craigslist and there seems to be a hell of a lot of too-good-to-be-true listings, it just seems that ALL of them cant be scams... or are they, what does anyone think? http://london.craigslist.co.uk/pho/

ahh never saw the pc section, if a mod or someone could move the thread that'd be great :) Hmm well I was originally going to go with a dell as they have always been the cheapest for me in the past by quite a margin as well, but this time around they dont seem so good, just looked at the...

Hey, getting a new laptop, will be mainly used for university stuff, but with some image editing/ photoshopping. I would want the laptop to last me a good 5 years at least so looking for something that is reliable and will last. My budget can go up to about £650 however it looks like some...

are you sure they are even allowed to state mean values like this, after all this means that they are expecting 50% of their units not to satisfy this figure. Wouldn't this figure be stated so that at least 95% of the units satisfy the figure, this means that they can confidently state 150000...

pretty much all second hand lenses will have dust, the problem is whether it is acceptable levels of dust or not, and thats up to the sellers discretion to say whether they think it is acceptable or not unless you can see the lens for yourself before you buy. The only real affect I think the...

just to be safe get some sand paper and scuff it up a bit, who'd want to nick it then?

or when you're taking a photo of say people or objects when the sun is behind them to stop the people/objects being silhouetted, granted you will probably end up with a white background......

Would spot metering explain this? in the first image, the animal in the centre is correctly exposed, and so happens to mean that the rest is correctly exposed since the whole image is about the same(ish) tone. In the second image, the animal in the centre is much darker than the surroundings so...
