it could be something to do with the security settings on my work lap top but I cant get either or those to download, any others? Or any printing websites that you can edit then just order prints (like photobox used to be)

I am a total beginner looking for some way of editing photos before I get them printed, I used to use photobox but the editing part of the site is no longer available. I just want to be able to do basic stuff like crop, change colours slightly, B&W etc, nothing fancy. What can I use? Must be...

I think around £350 max

Reason for getting the 55-250 would be so that I could take shots of my son when he is further away playing, instead of having to be pretty close to him which I find I need to be with the 18-55IS. I have the 'nifty fifty' which is great when son is still & I can get focus etc right but again...

Thanks all for the responses so far, I think I am going to go for a 600d or 700d, see how I go with that and then look to get a better lens. Any more suggestions or thoughts keep 'em coming

Image quality, ability to zoom in more, better performance in low & artificial light. Can anyone recommend another lens then which had a bigger zoom than the 18-55 IS but isn't the 55-250? Budget up to £300ish.

so what would you do? have a canon 1100d with 18-55 IS lens, plus another lens, possibly canon 55-250 IS. or canon 600d or 700d with 18-55 IS kit lens - so 'better' camera but standard lens. if you compare photos from 700d with kit lens to photos from 1100d with kit lens, how much...

slowness tends to happen if my son is playing & I am trying to photograph him, it will do a few shots, then suddenly say 'busy' for a few secs and its sods law that's when he actually looks at the camera! thought about the 50-250 lens to be able to zoom in on him more again when playing (son...

Thanks for the reply! I am going round in circles! Main probs are camera can be a bit slow sometimes (not all the time though), but on occasion you can miss the moment because its 'busy'. Am very hit & miss with images being in focus or not, would quite like a video function, very hit &...

:)been trying to research a bit and have come up with 600d, 100d, 700d. Any thoughts on these? price-wise I could do any of them - if the differences between them were worth it. Thanks in advance

Hi what's the next step up camera-wise from the Canon 1000d (which I believe has now been changed to the 1100d)? I know when I bought the 1000d in Jessops 3yrs ago the next step up was obvious (although decided to go for the basic 1000d), but cant remember what it was. Thank you!

Hi, I am a complete novice (despite my good intentions to learn more/improve it just hasn't happened - yet). Anyway, I have a photo of my son which I really like but the background isn't ideal as its in a restaurant and there are other people in the pic. Would anyone fancy doing me a massive...

ok maybe should forget the new camera idea, any suggestions for another lens then with capability of zooming in more?

well apart from a video recorder function being useful, (although I do appreciate that an SLR camera might not have the same quality as a 'proper' video recorder), I was just thinking that a better quality camera might help a bit with getting better quality, sharper images - something I seem to...
