thanks for your ideas guys. will have a look around. I have a £75 currys voucher that i would like to use so that limits me a bit ;)

Looking to spend ~£100 on a camera for 9yo. She enjoys using my D90 but thinking a compact camera of her own maybe give her more options/independence as not worried about it as much. Looking at the NIKON COOLPIX S33 Any thoughts on this or do you think she is a the age where a DSLR would be...

whats the estimated annual electricity cost to run a NAS or microserver

I can happily recommend PCSmarthosting Or if you want super cheap - lowendbox.com keeps track of the $5 per month deals

didnt work there - but did visit.

First SLR = Minolta Dynax 3xi. Pretty nifty for 1993. All too easy to leave on fully auto when I should have been learning the basics

the offer is now expired. I am on the hunt now for other poster deals.

I have seen some nice photobooks from Blurb.com allow a good few hours to spend on it.

either 50mm or 35mm its not easy to get 100% sharp/in focus shots at f1.8

congrats on your daughter being in the paralympics. I hopefully will be seeing some b-ball

I quite like the costco service. often done same day. can be economical. esp as no minimum

the 35 and the 50mm are both very handy lenses. The 50mm is physically smaller/lighter. The 35mm will probably be more useful but I personally get better shots from my 50mm

Does the battery last a similar time to the D90? thanks
