The main dislike I have found so far with Jessops is the fact they opt to use Yodel for delivery of products. If the delivery is missed opening hours of 10am-6pm isn't all that useful when you are occupied during the day. I have no issues with the local store so in future I think I shall route...

Apart from the obvious copyright problem, a screen capture (taking a frame out of the video) would give you a much crisper image rather then pointing a camera at the tv!

arad85, That is very helpful and it definately makes sense to assess the priorites of data then determining what backups are required of them. Should certainly mean I can be more efficent with my purchasing of drives. I shall rule raid out for now then, and I may have some bits kicking...

PhotoRec is Free GNU Licensed Software See here:- http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec I would say it's worth giving it ago!

IS Version is about £380 Non-IS is about £355-360 £20-25 difference in price, I think most would tend to lean to wards the IS version.

I was wanting to get some opinions from the people on here about backing up photos. Whilst I am quite new to photography, this issue also exists with other data have on my computer. At present my main desktop has 3 drives all Sata: #1 232 GB (16gb free atm) which OS boots from and holds...

I bought one to go with my 18-55mm kit lens. As Rico has stated same sort of build quality and feel to it, no gripes about image quality. I paid £134.94 posted for a new MKII IS version from eBay back in December which was the best I could find for one. I believe you are able to get the MKI...

£100 might be okay for getting you second hand camera and housing, most likely Fujifilm or Sony as they seem to be the ones that come up most often. I would recommend servicing/checking the housing before hand, gettinga spare o-ring for a couple of quid and get a pot of silicone grease. Another...

You will also find it varies from stadium to stadium, league to league. Generally in the lower leagues there are less stewards, and the affair is more relaxed. Admittedly I haven't taken an SLR, but I have seen plently of people happily snapping away. In the higher leagues (SPL here) they are...

I believe you can also limit who has access to full size originals on Flickr if you are concerned with unauthorised use. One of the nice things about Flickr is when you goto an upload and are looking to post a picture somewhere, forum for example, you can select the small, medium, large or...

Is it a shutter time priority mode you would favour then, adjusting exposure settings dependant on light? Yeah, had I been more forward thinking I would have setup across the other side of the field. The location I shot from here is the same one the photos in my "Aircraft 2nd Attempt" thread...

If you are limited to buying on Amazon, there is always the bag Amazon make themselves. http://www.amazon.co.uk/AmazonBasics-Backpack-Cameras-Accessories-Black/dp/B002VPE1WK/ You, yourself should be able to see if it looks big enough but this is what it looks like internally:-

The Amazon Basics Digital SLR Backpack seems pretty well put together and a lot cheaper then other comparable products. http://www.amazon.co.uk/AmazonBasics-Backpack-Cameras-Accessories-Black/dp/B002VPE1WK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325623373&sr=8-1 They also have some cheap lens hoods on there...

I watched it on iplayer and skipped through it to the songs I wanted to here. I didn't hear anything too strong in there just the occasional ****** whilst she was introducing songs. From her music I wouldn't expect it but if you have seen her speak before, like on talk shows for example, then...

It got darker a lot quicker than I thought, so I was soon shooting in much darker conditions than I intended, meaning the only useable photos tended to be silhouettes against the sky. I also ended up shooting from a different position than I wanted but thats another story. (1/100, f/5.6...
