Thanks for the help, I will have a search!

Thank you for the advice, I will go and handle a 70d soon. Would a 70d be a better choice over a 7d in most opinions, what with it being that bit newer it has a more recent processor etc?

Evening folks, I currently have a 1000d with the standard 18-55mm kit lens, a 70-300mm and a f/1.8 50mm. I also have a dedicated flash gun. With this set up I have been thoroughly enjoying photography and the results for the past 5 years. However, I am now considering upgrading the body. It's...

Here is an example shot at ISO 1600 f/1.8

Thank you for the quick responses, it's really appreciated - also learning quite a lot about what is the root cause of noise. To answer some questions, I store the camera indoors in a camera bag when its not in use. I am afraid the workflow has stayed pretty consistent, same PP software, same...

Evening all, I had been a while since I last had the camera out but over the last few weeks I have been doing a lot more. One thing I am noticing though, is how noisy the images are up at the higher ISO levels. I'm using a Canon 1000d at the moment and would love to upgrade but unfortunately...

I was in there not too long ago, thought the staff seemed quite depressed and weren't too eager to help, in my opinion. Think I will stick to Jessops in the future. Prices seem the same?

Thats a good review of X3, thanks. Im very tempted for the price of £40, but will I see a great difference from GIMP?

Thanks for the replies, it seems to be at a really reasonable price seeing as I already use some of their stuff and can get it for £40. Will it be a big improvement over GIMP?

No one used it?

Hey Guys, Looking into getting some new image editing software. At the moment I just use GIMP, basically because its free. So for me photoshop is too expensive, Serif's Photoplus X4 seems to be well reviewed and is reasonably priced. Anyone used it? Or have any experience of it? Thanks...

Hi there, was wondering if this lens is okay on a canon eos 1000d? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170527345320&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_1070wt_1137 Thanks

Hi there, I have recently been recommended to go buy myself a UV filter for my DSLR. I went out a bought one a fitted it, the silly question is: is this simply for protection of the lens from dust and scratches or does it protect the lens from being damaged buy UV light? Also should it stay on...

Hi there, I have been looking at buying my first DSLR and quite liked the feel and look of the Sony A330 as sold in jessops. I have found it bundled with the standard 18-55mm lens as well as a Tamron 70-300 lens as shown here...

Im trying to make the same choice between those two, just to add a little more choice the cannon 1000D can be found for around the same sort of money...
