I found the Fro Knows Photo begineers guide really helpful, Jared is a bit full on and not everyones cup of tea but all the information is well presented.

I have used https://softwaregeeks.co.uk/ for two copies of win7 pro and both been fine, one I had to do the automated phone verification but easily done. I've even upgraded one to win10 with no bother.

I have noticed something annoying about the A6000 and wondered if others have had this problem and found a way around it. I have started using an A6000 after using a DSLR which when on a day out using the camera I would leave it switched on hangung around my neck, now with the A6000 I do the...

:plus1: for the sigma 30mm, its the only lens I use on my a6000, it doesn't use the full autofocus points but this hasn't caused me any problems, a bargain price too.

I have the 35mm 1.8 and its a great lens and in my opinion a better focal length than the 50mm for a crop sensor camera like the D5300 especially for indoors where space is tighter, try setting you kit lens to each focal length and see which will work best for you.

I generally use http://www.cclonline.com/ for PC components prices good and good customer services, also as Bazza mentioned Scan are good too.

I bought a loptop for £440 a couple of years ago(lenovo Z500 i5) and it is generally good however the screen is a 1366 x 768 resolution one and it is terrible the viewing angles are poor and colours look shocking, for photo editing now I use a Dell u2412m display which I plug in via the HDMI...

I think Steve is right re genuine grips for D3300. I have used both Meike and DSTE battery grips (not for a D3300 though) and I've been very happy with the quality, however the Meike one the command dials operation was reversed which was slighty annoying but I rarely changed apperature or...

I've had both the Youngnou YN565 and YN568 for my D7000 and D7100 and both have been spot on, the 568 has more head swivel and HSS.

I am not a 'sports shooter' but I have a D7100 and have shot sports with it, the autofocus is good but one thing that is very annoying at times of the buffer is small only 7-8 shots at 6FPS before the buffer is full then you can carry on shooting but at about half the FPS, I am using fast cards...

When I bought my first DSLR I was given an amazon basics tripod and it was terrible and very quickly broke, when I was then looking for a replacement Red Snapper were getting good reviews so I choose this one http://www.redsnapperuk.com/camera-accessories/RST-283___RSH-24_3-way_Head.html It...

Parcel force was actually a few pounds more, but you are right for the value of item I will pay for special delivery.

I am about to sell all my DSLR kit since switching to mirroless, however I am looking at postage costs and to send either my D7100 or Sigma 70-200 (which all packed up are over 2KG each) special delivery insured is £26.60! But I can use Parcel Monkey broker service and send DPD for £7.14...

I have both and the only benefit of the 568 over the 565 I can tell is the 568's head rotates 180 degrees in both directions where as the 565 has a stopper at 90 degrees when rotating right, its only a mild annoyance when adjusting the flash head between landscape and protrait when bounce flashing.

The Panasonic Eneloop batteries get good reviews, i use them in my Youngnuo flash and have done events lasting a few hours without the need to replace them. I bought mine from here and i also use this charger
