I've got loads of Mac products and in all cases the packaging is out of this world! Products inside are pretty good too!!

I struggle to watch Ross's TV chat show without cringing. He has two modes. Mode 1 (I love my guest) - here he’s a fawning, sycophant and when interviewing attractive women he behaves like a pervy old lecher. Mode 2 (I loathe my guest) - here he behaves in a rude, aggressive and bullying...

Would you care to elaborate?

By coinicidence I bought some ND Grad filters yesterday and they are due to be delivered today. I am relatively new to photography so needed a bit of hand-holding and the company I contacted were excellent. Their website is www.teamworkphoto.com and they sell Lee and Hitech filters. These...

Band - The Smiths - Turned up to their Radio debut with John Peel with "real" instruments no soundtracks and no tapes - just plugged in, played and sang. Musician - Eric Clapton - Stands the test of time. Composer - Leornard Bernstein - Doesn't get much better than West Side Story.

I'm not really sure about this. When I started the thread it was to endorse a supplier that had provided a good level of service even though initially there was a problem which they resolved. In your case it appears that your endorsement only came after you left them negative feedback and...

If they treat you that badly then surely you shouldn't withdraw your negative feedback for any amount of "bribery"

I run a business and there is generally a minimum expectation with regards to standards of service and rightfully so. Basically if you do everything well and nothing goes wrong, then job done and in the main, no commendations. Screw something up then job not done and complaints and disgruntled...

I know Ebay tends to get some bad press on this forum and some of it justified but I thought I'd pass on my own experience with Canon Outlet which was extremely favourable. I have just started photography as a hobby and bought my camera from the Canon Outlet. The camera was a refurbished Canon...

Useful info. Thanks very much.

Decided to buy my next lens and want a 70-200mm with a budget of approx £750. I have 2 options: 1) 70-200mm f/4L IS USM or 2) 70-200mm f/2.8L USM. I would be interested in opinions as to where the cash would be better spent. Thanks

Many thanks.

Help! Very limited experience but I'm shooting RAW files on a Canon 40D and when I try to open these in Photoshop I get a message saying that CS3 cannot open the file as the file type is incompatible. Any ideas?

Thanks for the feedback. Only just bought the camera on-line from the Canon Outlet (refurb) which saved a lot of money but this is the downside I guess. Although it's covered with a 1 year mfrs warranty I don't think I'll bother sending it back unless a sensor clean doesn't do the trick.

First foray into DSLR photography and purchased a Canon 40D with 17-85mm Kit Lens. Testing it out this weekend with pictures of autumn trees against a blue sky. On all the images with a blue sky there was a small circle in the top right hand quadrant which was duller. This was apparant on all...
