Congratulations for the new camera, I own a 600D and I am extremely happy with it. I think it is a good upgrade for the 300D without breaking the bank and depending on your expertise don't forget to check magic lantern, it offers a further camera firmware upgrade if you know how to take...

The main issue, is that tech companies expect to make most of their margins, from peripherals expanding the capabilities of the main unit, that they cleverly design as add ons . So you really don't get value for money, £30 pounds for a cover for an Ipad or Ebook reader? So these add ons, really...

The consensus is on Recuva software, never try it, and dont know if it will work on video. http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=414858&highlight=recover+deleted http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=350785&highlight=recover+deleted

Talent, location and understanding of lighting, good post processing too, they are very powerful images, pretty sure he can do the same with a D90 and a decent lens.

Expect one from me too.

You shouldn't worry too much about it, they clearly were having a go at you, they are aware of the connotations, power and sense of vulnerability it has on adult people when used in public places. Seeing you with a camera make you the perfect target for some of them to bait you and gain kudos...

The Mayor's Thames Festival will be this weekend 8th and 9th of September in London. It offers a lot of opportunities for some great pictures and is a nice runner up for the Team GB Parade on Monday the 10th, link for the Festival website. http://thamesfestival.org/ There will be fireworks...

I remember the golden rule of photography when I was a kid using a film, point and shoot Kodak camera in 1976, always always have the sun behind you. My pictures were always more vivid than my Dad's Yashica D. And the few times I tried his camera, I found it as daunting as my current DLSR. There...

In London an awesome place is this one http://www.brompton-cemetery.org/

I have a 600D and I find it really quick to change settings, are you using back button focusing? It is really easy to focus and recompose that way. When I bought the camera, just before the 650D come out, I thought that maybe I should have gone for a higher model. After using the camera, apart...

The one you saw in that thread is this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250945019823?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3224wt_1111 the one you show is the slim mount filter, I think there is some kind of issue or trade off with that one. Googling it at the moment. Looks like...

For me, as a beginner, sharpness in a picture is a priority, most people new to photography struggle to get sharp focus, maybe is slow shutter speed or wrong aperture, camera shake, no tripod or just wrong focusing mode, in a nutshell, I don't have a clue. I was really surprised when I read...

It is amazing how people forget that photography always been a two stage process, and fail to embrace the changes from film to digital in the processing, while fully praising the change to digital in cameras. I always try to get it right on camera, simply because is less work later on when...

I think the waste of money will be buying the I-phone hoping to be at the same level of skill that Mr. Dan. The camera as pointed out before is irrelevant if you don't have a clue about photography. Technically I am pretty sure Mr Dan will have had an easier time and better results with his...
