I used Narweer with my 750D. It didn't hold charge for as a long as the official battery but I didn't notice a difference in the performance of the camera.

I spent a couple of weeks backpacking around in 2013 or 2014. It's probably the easiest country in the world to see leopards as they're the apex predator there. If memory serves, I saw four on one drive in Yala. Annoyingly, the other vehicle that went out from the guesthouse I was staying in saw...

I've been looking at this lens for a while and wondering what the catch is as it seems like very good specs for the money. If there isn't a catch I'll probably pull the trigger soon.

I used the same lens for the Northern Lights photos shown in this thread.

I used to know a couple that constantly moaned about the crowds every time Hearts had a home match. Hearts' stadium, Tynecastle, has been there since 1886!

Iceland have promised that their own brand products will be palm oil free by the end of the year. I sent them an email saying that I'm going to make an effort to buy their products now rather than their competitors. I should probably send a similar email to their competitors saying that I'll...

I picked up a third party hood for my 17-55 kit lens for around £5 on Amazon whereas the Canon version is £15 and up depending on where you buy from. Might as well just get the third party version as it's only a bit of plastic.

I would be very surprised if the company that produces the camera made this video. If you click onto the Youtube link you'll see that the video is hosted on a personal channel that has 0 subscribers. This is something that will have been knocked up in 5 minutes by a bored teenager.

I've just upgraded from the 450D to the 750D. Handling seems to be very similar, which is a good thing for me. I haven't had a chance to get outside and shoot properly with it yet but initial signs are encouraging. Focusing seems to be reasonably fast and accurate and the pictures are nice and...

Thanks for the advice. I ended up getting a very good deal on a mint condition 430EXII. I should be able to sell it for the same amount I bought it for if/when I decide to upgrade.

Search for images that you like then try to replicate them. I found the Wildlife Photographer of the Year series of books useful as they give the camera settings next to the photo.

I would like to buy a flash gun for my Canon SLR. It will be mainly used for wildlife shooting whilst on night walks and drives. As such, I don’t really care about whether or not I can set the flash up for off camera shots and so on. I would like to keep the weight down as much as possible as I...

My thoughts exactly. I would be furious if one of the charities that I give money to behaved like this.

Thanks to the other posters in this thread for the headsup. I've instructed my dad to check the serial no. on his Samyang lens as they've already been mentioned.

I've had good quality 100cm X 75cm prints produced from shots taken using a 450d, which is a 12 megapixel camera. Don't fall into the more megapixels = better trap.
