    Comfy neck strap

    I'd be careful with some of the neoprene straps and heavy cameras. Mainly due to personal preference but they can stretch and pull a little on your neck.

    The 50 Most Perfectly Timed Photos Ever

    Some quite interesting shots. I think a fair few a more right place rather than perfect timing. Not sure there is much of a difference other than how pedantic you are :D

    Anyone used blank CD's recently?

    You weren't doing anything else strenuous on your computer at the same time? Or if a laptop moving it about causing the laser to skip?

    Really enjoying this thread, thanks to all! Its making me want to splash some cash and bulk out the setup instead of debating the options.

    Best Free FTP server software

    I struggled with Filezilla too. Go for the IIS option if you can. Slight bonus is any updates will happen as part of the regular MS updates rather than a more DIY effort with anything else.

    Nikon lens

    Don't forget the gold VR logo as well. All very important factors when investing in a lens. I have used the vr1 and found the creeping really annoying. I've taken a fair few shots pointing downwards and always got caught out.

    Nikon, Nikon, Nikon or Nikon?

    I always thought say it like it is in the adverts. Interesting that the ads in America say it differently.

    monitor and test temps of components in PC?

    +1 for speedfan. I liked the system tray icon not sure if the others mentioned have this but this was the most suitable I could find many many years ago. Not sure how accurate the numbers are I've never checked them. I like to think it reads high and I'm not gonnna burn out my mobo!!

    Fibre optic broadband

    The cab near me has been live for ages I keep getting calls and letters from BT desperate to sell it. Just can't really see the point given the price. Not unless it my current speed was really slow.

    So how did you get started?

    Probably a common in but for me after having a long break since taking snaps as a kid it was when we had our first babies. I'm not quite documenting every moment but its getting more and more frequent :D

    Tablet on finance?

    You tried a credit card? Can get some with 0% for over 12 months these days. Loads of time to pay off and you don't end up paying way more than you should.

    Advice for a learner please

    Take a look a the G series owners thread in the equipment forum. There are a few posts recently about legacy lenses and adapters. I thought I'd do this as a way to try out a few things I couldn't afford to do if I went for new lenses.

    Digital camera magazine offer

    I debated going for this but got put off that you couldn't opt out of the marketing stuff until after you sign up. Does anyone know how easy the opt out is? Does it need a phone call or letter? -Thanks

    new announcement

    So that could mean a merged D7000 and D300? I'd guess closer to the D7000 end of the spectrum and maybe enough difference to make you have to think about buying this or a D300. I'd rather a D400 though.
