Looking for somewhere to stay in Scotland for landscape photography. Probably a cottage by a loch, mountains, picturesque. You get the picture haha Any recommendations on locations and experiences would be greatly appreciative Thanks

Thanks for all your comments. I am definitely staying with Nikon, I know that for a fact lol. At the moment I am swaying towards the new D3200 but jessops do have a great deal on the D3100 with 2 lenses. But definitely a decision that will not be rushed. As for the buy second hand, I am also...

Thanks orange crunch You got a good deal on the 600d there. Glad you are happy with your choice. I'm probably gonna stick to a Nikon as thats what i am used to, but as you said I will definitely get a feel for it in the shop first. Thanks for the link, great help. Cheers

Thanks for the reply jim_tod. The d3100 would be a good choice for the money and also like you said, a good tripod and some nd grads are essential buys for landscape. I'm going to Jessops tomorrow so am going to have a closer look at d3100 and d5100.

Hi Phall82 That's what I was thinking, all research really has been done on the nikons but just recently looked at the canon models. The cameras I am looking at are pretty much similar in specs but it is what you are use to in terms of interface, layouts etc. Thanks

Hi all I realise that this is a very frequent question, but I am in need of some advice on buying a DSLR. I am currently borrowing my dads Nikon D50. I am looking at doing landscape photography. After doing a lot of research online these are the cameras that have caught my attention Nikon...

There seems to be conflicting views for a remote for d50. I'm using my dads camera at the moment until I upgrade myself. If I can get hold of a second hand remote then it will be interesting to see how I get on with it regarding where you have to stand with the sensor. But surely once I am...

Thanks realspeed Lol that wireless remote does sound very useless. Hopefully I should be upgrading my dslr in the next coming months, so will have options for remotes. I'm more clued up on tripods though so thanks.

It would be for taking it on walkabouts. lightweight but sturdy I need. Only have jessops and currys near me. Jessops didnt really have much in. Essential points that I need to consider. Thanks

Thanks for your comments. After looking at the budget tripods on amazon, I'm definetly gonna look at spending a bit more. The redsnapper range look good and shall do some research. There is so many about, and that makes it hard:bonk:. Appreciate the advice

I'm new to photography and new on here. Can anyone recommend any decent tripods for a Nikon D50. Price range would be up to £50. What brands are the best? Thanks

Thanks guys.
