Sorry but not had a chance to use my camera since never mind the flash. Off on holiday tomorrow and the flash is packed so will have a play and see if I can work it out. If I can find wi-fi I will post while I am out there otherwise I can post on my return.

I was watching the cycling time as I checked each picture after I took it so plenty of time between shots. The iso was set to 1600 the heighest my 350D allows. I will post some of the shots up later but some are just totally black. I have done a reset on the flash and that has changed how the...

Anyone able to give some advice.

I have a Canon EOS 350D with a EF-S 15-85 IS USM. My son had a ten pin bowling party this morning and having had one for his brother earlier in the year I knew I would struggle with the on board flash and very dark environment. So I purchased a Neewer NW-565 E-TTL flash from Amazon which...

Are we allowed to ask for advice on cameras on ebay. There is an EOS700D new for £280.

I can't access the classifieds yes as I have not been a member for 60 days yet.

Iso was the problem and my 350D max ISO seems to be 1600. I had lowered it to 200 which is where all the poor shots came from. The couple of clear ones were at 1600.

I picked up a second hand canon ef-s 55-250 f4-5.6 at the weekend and managed to take it out for a test to my son's evening football practice. I definetly need some practice with this lens as very few of my pictures worked. Poor light did not help but I should be able to do better. I get some...

Great to hear, enjoy.

Hello and welcome from another 350D owner. The biggest improvement I made was buying a shoulder strap and ditching the stupid neck strap. It makes your camera so much more accessible without getting in the way. Next is making sure you can play your pictures back preferably on your TV as that...

The 55-250 does seem to be a fairly cheap lens so could be an option but I may just try and save up for a new body first.

I used to live north east of Glasgow, Lenzie.

I wish I did have a recommendation for a sturdy tripod but ever entry level one I have bought the wife has managed to brake the head off with her camcorder. Don't ask me how as her camcorder is lighter than my DSLR but they all just ended up in various pieces when I was not around and...

OK, jaw dragged back up from the floor. The photographer is incredible skilled but he also has an amassing lens to make that picture possible. Unfortunately amazing lens also equates into a very expensive lens. However we all have to start somewhere and a good body will give you a good start...

One more question, what sort of low light images. Night sky shots, pub band following shots, or wet Scottish day shots, etc.
