Do any D3100 owners get their camera regulary 'serviced' and if so, how often and where to send it? Being new to DSLR stuff this year, I'm not clued up on this side. Do you normally get the camera checked over once a year?

Ah, its amazing what you can do when you spend some time reading instructions and playing around with things. 1/1, 1/2, 1/8 upto 1/128 is power settings, focal length sorted, shutter speed sorted but more importantly camera flash settings now correct. I think I've got the basics covered, just...

Do you know if there is anyway around this? Or would I really need a faster speed? Its for shooting indoors with a couple of studio lights helping out.

If you suss out the YN560 on a D3100 give me a shout!! I've just bought one and need some help with it. When I increase my shutter speed over anything 1/200 and above I get about 2 inches of flash at the top of the picture and the rest in darkness. I suppose I really need to sit down and read...

I would hate to jump in anyones way while taking a photo even if it was someone who was snapping away with a camera phone outside. I've got a wedding to attend in July and I dare say I'll take my camera along but I wouldn't dare get in the way of the paid photographer. He/she is there because...

I always thought pixel count would be the deciding factor between cameras but couldn't work out how a 12MP FF camera can produce better images than a 20odd MP cropped sensor?

I find I'm really struggling with landscapes, what looks good in my eyes and the view finder doesn't always make a great photo when I get it out the camera.

This, every dotting parent (me included) thinks they have the best looking, photogenic kids about (which I have)!

Being new to photography most of this is way over my head, however it does look like a serious bit of kit, are rather cool too.

Also, you might want a remote trigger release, think my D3100 only has 30sec max shutter opening. It does have blub mode but you don't want to be shaking the camera by pressing the camera button.

Do you know if some of these programmes would give you a similar level of adjustment that the likes of Elements or LR4 can give you? Going to try out a few of these tonight.
