Been meaning to update this thread but never got around to it. I bought a D200 which has this feature and together with a 50mm 1.8 I'm happy :) Thanks for the advice, got there in the end :)

S3 mini - just went through same thing with my missus :)

Yeah the plan was Aperture Priority :) Can anyone confirm whether the Pentax K20d or the Fuji S's can definitely be controlled by the lens?

Cool, keep the ideas coming :) The Pentax looks interesting, there is just a bewildering array of mounts. To keep things in context, I'm not a technophobe. I did a HND in Computing a few years ago, I love Android phones and can build PCs. It's just that when aperture is not controlled by my...

Thanks for all the comments. Are there any other camera bodies that would fit Nikon lenses?

After struggling with my 350d for 8 years (!!!) I've slowly sold off all my Canon lenses. I kept moving away from photography as the handling of the 350d really drove me nuts. I cut my teeth on an Olympus OM30 and much prefer aperture on the lens ring. Any dslr recommendations? Sadly really...

Thanks for all the advice. To clarify, it's my composition which has never got beyond amateur. I can 'see' photos - even black and White stuff, but can't translate my vision into something good. I struggle with rule of thirds when actually composing as I can't easily see the grid in my...

I understand the concerns about doing a course, but feel I need a bit of a kick up the arse to actually learn. Problem I have is sometimes I lack the enthusiasm to get out and practice. A course would force me to consider projects

Thanks for that

I've dabbled with photography for years, without actually getting better. I'd like to take a course, any recommendations? Is the OCA course any good? Or should I look at a local college?? A level maybe??

Wow!! Thought it was worth about 80 quid!!! Thanks for that

Well done - can I ask how they got the photos? Do you know someone in the industry?

While taking my daughter to playschool at the local sports hall, there was a netball tournament on in the adjacent hall. Got me thinking I might attempt some indoor stuff there. Is a 70-200 f4 going to be fast enough?

I'm about to buy a 40D but need to sell my 350D first. Good condition with 10k actuations, third party grip, three batteries, all cables and sigma 18-50. All excellent condition but no boxes. Any idea on value? Cheers

I bought one on Monday, but haven't found the time to take any photos yet. Was supposed to get out today, but the light is terrible. FWIW if you can live with the size and the weight you are laughing. Seems to be a fair few bad examples out there though..
