nah they're a bit pricey for my budget...

Hi all, I need some advice as I've been out of the P&S market some time. I'm a teacher and have been given a budget to get some photography kit for a photography club for 10/11 year olds. Ideally I want some cameras with as many manual options as possible, aperture priority, full manual...

cheers, that might be the ticket, google's Picasa also has some good options.

Welcome Mark, this forum is surprisingly large, quite a few people in our local area.

Hi, I've been taking photos for years but rarely print or frame them, so some advice is needed. My boss has roped me into creating some motivational photo collages, under titles like "achievement" "enjoyment" and "motivated" etc - I work in a school and the head just wants to display all the...

Yep, previous poor surfaces with poor repair work. Now the repair work has been ripped out leaving HUGE craters Our council have been out and put 'temporary road surface' signs on some of the problem areas.

I ruined my Epson by using the cheapest of the cheap compatible carts. Since then I've been using a Canon Pixma MP520. Which I've always bought Jettec compatible carts and agree with most, they're half the price of Canons and I can't see the difference for documents/PDF's etc. However I don't...

I haven't heard of one person yet, facebook status updates all say no from my friends.

This is just more red tape and hoops for people to hurdle though if they wish to volunteer for good causes. The current system isn't perfect, but this new one is so heavy handed it's going to put off more and more people from doing good things. Take for example a retired man who drives the...
