Thanks for that, Chappers & Dylan. I'm thinking I'll have a go with the Epson on special offer - the 4-colour one. Had a look at it in the shop today and realised that a lot of the reason for the slightly higher price of some similar models is to do with little extras that I really don't...

I've read the recent threads on this subject and I can't see this specific question being answered anywhere, but sorry if I've missed anything... I think I'd like to get a printer and am REALLY baffled by all the options but lots of people seem to be recommending Epson so when I saw one...

Almost forgot to check in today! Well done yet again you guys. My update as at this morning is.... start weight 9 st 9 lb current weight 9 st 4.75 lb total loss 4.25 lbs time taken 4 weeks 2 days Still sticking at a pound a week! Tried to up the...

By the way, I think you WILL be able to shoot raw - I can with mine (if I knew what the heck I was doing I could, anyway!) and mine's an older model than yours. Keep us posted :thumbs:

Sunday morning weigh-in details: Start weight 9st 9lb current weight 9st 5.75lb total loss 3.25 lb time taken 3 weeks 2 days almost exactly one pound per week. Blimey this is going to be a slow process at that rate! I know why though - I'm DEFINATELY doing the...

I think you're right to go ahead with the course despite what the tutor said - I've haven't even been out and used my bridge camera yet but from reading up on it and asking around I'm pretty sure there is nothing that you can't adjust manually, which is (I believe) the main thing if you're...

If I go through and delete all the rubbish pics, I'll be able to fit what's left on 4.5" floppy disk! (if you can still get them) :lol: thanks for the advice everyone.

Smarty, I can't answer your question from my own experience as I haven't had any yet, but I've been asking the exact same question (on here as well as among more experienced photographers at my local camera club) and I've usually been led to believe that there are an awful lot of similarities...

Hi Stewart I THINK I can change the JPEG quality before I acutally take the photo - there are 3 "quality" settings of some sort, so I assume that's what they mean. But I haven't tried changing it before. I've always used the highest quality setting and the highest mp setting which is 7.1. My...

Just had to congratulate the Guitarist on the most entertaining thread anywhere on the web.....I haven't spent so much time chuckling all by myself EVER! I really want you to find her and get your photo, but on the other hand I don't want this thread to come to an end. GOOD LUCK:thumbs: Oh...

Quick update - today I managed to drag myself to the gym before work!! Most of last year I would go before work 4 mornings a week and go once or twice at weekends, but since October when the clocks changed I've only been about 3 or 4 times in total. Just can't get up early enough. Now...

Thanks for that chaps. Can anybody advise about the file sizing part of my query?

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this question. My laptop started doing things the other day that our IT guy at work says MIGHT mean it's about to drop dead on me. So I'm starting to worry about losing all my photos. Sometimes I save some onto CDs, but it takes ages and I don't like the...

:clap::clap::clap: Well done everybody - you're all doing so well with this!! Keep it up. I've just checked and realised it's been 10 days since I last posted....I haven't been hiding away in shame, honest - just bogged down with other stuff. Well at the moment I weight 9st 7. Two weeks...

People say that a lot when I say how much I weigh, but it's really deceptive because I'm short. I've gained a stone over about a year and it's all concentrated in one place, so I'm all out of proportion - two sizes bigger at the bottom than the top! In any case, if I can be an incentive to...
