Ha ha! You may mock but, ultimately, it does take great pics of my grandsons and that's all I am interested in... and it's different! :)

Started with a D40 in 2008; also have had a D80 and a D200. Current lineup, all purchased second hand with very low mileage: D50 x2 D300 D300S D700 The latest acquisition being one of the D50s, in silver, which I could not refuse for the princely sum of £33(!) - including kit lens - with...

+1 for Redsnapper. I own one and it is very sturdy and great value for money, albeit at the top end of your budget.

As a beginner of many years, I have nothing constructive to add except that I agree with all the comments above. You seem to have a great eye for composition. I can pay no better compliment than to say that I am enjoying looking at your photos.

As has already been said, if it is more for fun than photography, then the vtech is ideal. Otherwise, why not consider a good, used compact camera? I recently purchased a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 on behalf of some friends, from a well known auction site, in excellent condition for about £38 and...

Hi everyone. A friend of mine has given me his old Pentax, as he has not used it for three years, and I am keen to play with it. The problem is that, no matter which batteries I use, the screen on the top of the camera flashes the 'battery empty' sign. I have read on the internet that this...

Another vote for Redsnapper! Very good quality and great value. Simon

I am really grateful for your advice so far and for your offer of further help. Thank you! Simon

I really appreciate your reply, Mr Edwards. Thank you! I was beginning to think that I had been 'duped', for one of a better word! I bought the above unit, together with a stand, a 69cm x 50cm double-diffused softbox, radio trigger and mains lead, all in a carry-bag for £125. Do you think...

Thank you Hugh! Garry Edwards was my first thought but I did not think that I could pm him to look at this thread. Thanks again. Simon

Anyone, please? MODs, have I posted this in the incorrect section? Should it be in the 'Talk Lighting and Studio' section? If so, can you please transfer? Thank you! Simon

I have purchased the item below from a well known auction site as a 'Lencarta Studio Flash 200W'. The problem is that I am not an expert and would like those who are to confirm that this item is indeed a Lencarta unit. Yes, I know it does say so but that is just a sticker. Your comments...

Scott, Only you will know whether you need to use flash or not. Essentially, the built-in flash is there for a quick snap when necessary and you have no other. If you do need to use a flash, you need an external unit such as the SB-600. It is a more than capable unit and fairly...

Totally agree! Just in There is a Nikon D60 + 18-105mm lens which may be of interest to you, at a reasonable price, in the classified section of the forum.

Thank you for the suggestion Rob. I suppose there is no harm in talking to them about if I the problem is not resolved.
