I was asking if I should order a second SSD but I've done it anyway so thanks for looking.

My wife bought me a Canon EOS 5D MkII for Christmas which is giving me a bit of a dilema? I now own a gripped Canon EOS 5D MkII, a gripped Canon EOS 40D, two Canon 24-105 F4L IS lenses, a Canon 17-40 F4L lens, a Canon 70-200 F4L (soon to be IS), a Sigma 24-135 F2.8 lens (going soon), a Sigma...

Galaxy66 - the good wife bought me the horse today but I can't play with it until Xmas Day :( Checked stock on grips again today whilst browsing for a Xmas present and all stores in Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, Cramlington and Wallsend were out of stock. :gag:

Just like to thank Galaxy66 for the heads up a few weeks ago when Argos were selling these for £103.99. :D Cheers Mal. All I need is the camera now :lol:

Mal, I should be able to scan them for you and write them to disk. See you tomorrow. :D

I've personally had three now, first failed after a couple of days which was replaced, this one failed about 3 weeks out of warranty and my third one failed 2 days ago after about 8 months. :gag: We have an 8Tb Terastation NAS at work which has had no problems at all. Purely down to luck I think.

My camera is called 'Ahh for ******s sake' :D

I'm sure they covered this on the Gadget Show a while back and Jason Bradbury advised that if you get one (3G version) you would be best to buy in the UK as the contract in the US is with AT&T. :thinking:

When you click on Tonemapping, when the new page has opened there is a button just above 'Process' called 'Presets' with several options. including 'Grunge' for a really over the top HDR picture, 'Natural' for a more photorealistic picture (less noise etc) and if you PM me I have a file of...

Thanks to everyone for their kind words. RBHD1 I think I might just try a little bit of macro photography over the next week or two. :D MScotts I may have no specimen jars but perhaps a photograph of the 18 in scar and the holes where the 94 staples sat might be a good idea. :gag: Best...

Well it happened. I was called into the Freeman hospital on the 30 January and had a ten and half hour operation to transplant a new kidney and panreas on the 31 January. Everything has gone well up to this point and after three weeks in hospital they finally let me go home. I am still very...
