In the cycling world it's a general rule that the ideal numbers of bikes a person should own is n+1 where n is the number of bikes they currently own. I think the same holds true in the world of photography.;)

Great pictures, I particularly like 3, 5 and 6.:-)

Does anyone know of any organisation that takes old cameras for recycling. I've a couple in good working order, with chargers, that I no longer use. Don't want anything for them but it seems a waste to take them to the local re-cycling centre and I don't think charity shops will take them due to...

I bought it earlier in the year during one of their sales. I'm very much new to photo editing so figured it would be a relatively cheap way in and if I out grow then at least I would have an idea of what I really needed. So far very, very pleased and I think it'll be a very long time before I...

I think one of the comments summed it up - you've opened up Pandora's box :). For what it's worth I was in a similar position as a newbie and decided to go for Affinity. At the time they had a 90 day free trial with the option to purchase at half price - £25. I signed up for it at the end of the...

We're have BT sims as we also have BB with BT. They give discounts for each additional sim, we have 5 on the contract and pay just over £40/mth but each one gets unlimited texts and calls and 20GB data.

If it has power fold mirrors set them so they close when you lock the car and then you can see from a "safe" distance if the car has been locked.

CPU-OPT is for an optional (2nd) CPU fan or heatsink as @gman states. The cha_fanX are for chassis (case) fans. Hope this helps but if you're still having problems then please let me know what MOBO you have and hopefully I can give more detailed advice.

There should be connectors somewhere on the motherboard for the fan. Hopefully the connectors are keyed so should only fit one way but if they're not keyed then it shouldn't be a problem if connected the wrong way. Power and reset switch connections can go either way around. The power LED should...

Out of interest what's the issue with birds in flight and the Z7?. I would like to use the camera for action shots of my dog so if there's a weakness around shooting moving subjects then maybe I would be better going down the dslr route.

Many thanks for the update. The Z6ii addresses one of your concerns with the added card slot so am leaning that way at the moment. I do have a vertical grip on my D7000 but don't use it much so it wouldn't be a big loss. I agree with the advice on handling one but difficult at the moment as...

I appreciate it's been some time since you posted this but I'm interested in what camera did you go for in the end. I also have a D7000 and am looking to upgrade to either D780 or Z6 II. Lots of interesting posts on your thread. Personally I'm interested in landscape, travel and some action...

Thanks Suggs, I hadn't thought of that. I'll try turning it off and see if that fixes the problem. Many Thanks.

I'm photographing runners at a local park run and would like to use a fill in flash to better light the runners. I have a Nikon D7000 with an SB-910 flash, I have a reasonable understanding of the technical aspects of the camera but am a complete newbie/numpty when it comes to flash (and...
