    Just a heads up for 7D buyers

    I picked up a 7D body-only from eBay from the seller djcoops. He (?) doesn't have any at the moment, but he sold 3 recently by auction and they all came to a bargain figure - around £850 each. I thought I'd mention this in case anyone else was looking for a possible bargain. Mine was a brand...

    CF card help

    Thank you for all the helpful responses. I guess I was thinking that using an SD card with an adapter might be helpful, as then I could simply stick the SD card into my laptop without need for cables, etc. I am going to be selling on my 450D so I wouldn't have use for the SD cards any more...

    CF card help

    Thanks for the words so far guys. I meant I was using a 16GB SD card at the moment, and the capacity was sufficient for my needs. Any thoughts on sd to cf card adapters? They appear to be reviewed well on amazon. Point noted re fleqbay!

    CF card help

    Hi chaps, I'd be grateful for some help. I'm upgrading to a Canon 7D and haven't had any experience with CF cards. I intend to use the camera largely for taking pictures, but obviously intend to utilise the HD video feature occasionally. I don't use burst mode often, but I think I will be...

    Firefox

    +1 for Google Chrome, I love the speed compared to Firefox. As long as IE is still installed on your computer, you can use it at any time.

    Buying a 5dmk2

    A warranty isn't good without the receipt generally. So if he doesn't have proof of purchase, anything that goes wrong with the camera is unlikely to be covered.

    Fixed Lens Camera

    The first time I went, I had mine taken off me (much to my dismay). Next time, it was in my wife's handbag. Woot woot.

    Poundland bargain!

    Agreed, somewhat of a dealio. I'll have to keep a look out when I'm next near one.

    Have you used these lenses?

    Hmm I think I may be making schoolboy errors in my focus settings. I tried using the AI servo a while back, but didn't use it enough to get the hang of it. Thanks for the word of advice, I'll definitely give it a go again. I bet I'll find that it's perfect... Sounds interesting, I've sent...

    Have you used these lenses?

    Some great advice guys, cheers to all of you! That almost doubles my budget! Maybe in future :) Thanks for the example images, definitely helpful. It sounds like the 28-135mm might be the one for me, as I'll be holding on the efficient 18-55mm. I agree it's a great lens, but I've...
