Ever thought about the nissin di866. Got mine a couple of weeks ago and am finding my feet with it, can act a master, wireless and cost less than £200

where do you put the blu tack, on the lens ring??? does it not start to slip down, sounds like a good idea as i fancy some nd grads, sounds a cheap solution so i can get better filters. By the way anyone bought photography monthly sept 08? had a filter article but my copy started at page 55...

I agree that here is a great place to learn and be inspired. Choosing any dslr would be fine, although the dslr's aimed at pros have less in the way of settings to help you, also they are blooming expensive. I reckon stick to cannon or nikon and look at the cheaper models, then as you...

Really wierd, has anyone else got any freaky photos????

Well was really looking forward to it when i saw the front cover but its about as much use as a chocolate teapot!!!!!!!!

Is it just me or is this guide fairly pointless and basic?? I usuallyfind AP's stuff pretty in depth but this article is very weak, hope they improve it for other cameras or more people will be disappointed.:(
