Yep, not for camera gear though. Bought a pair of Steiner Wildlife binoculars for my wife. No problems at all, received the next day. Neil

My 1st was a 70-200F4, bought when I got my 40D. Recently added a 100-400.

I used a company, PC Specialist, where you can spec what you want, they build and ship to you. The following cost me about £700 last summer, no monitor. Dual Core E8400 3 Ghz processor 8gb Ram Vista 64 512 graphics card Uprated power supply Uprated chip cooling 160, 400 and 640 GB hard drives...

I'm glad now that I got my 100-400L at the beginning of November, then I was cursing that I hadn't bought 3 weeks earlier as I paid £80 more. When the £ recovers, will the prices come back down? Probably but not as much as they went up especially if sales are still being made. Will continue...

You can't take photo's in Trafalgar and Parliament Squares for commercial use without a license but there's no other restriction there - though use a tripod and you're automatically deemed a 'professional' for some reason :thinking:

Another way would be to run an external monitor from your laptop, that would still need to be calibrated though but would be a lot better if the on-board laptop graphics card can handle it.

I'll second that on Lightroom, it definitely makes things easier than say using DPP. You can copy and paste settings if you've got, say a few that need the same basic pp or you can save a a preset that you can then apply. You don't need to do this in layers like PS or PSE as the RAW file is...

same here, was worth a go - nothing ventured/nothing gained :lol:

With any luck Ebay will have removed his account. Glad that you have the camera back in one piece. Shame that he's effectively gotten away with it if he's been refunded the money. I must be one of the lucky ones (is there a smilie for touching wood :) ) as so far I haven't had any problems with...

Taken the chance and ordered 2 from W2W. You can't register as a new customer as stated before but if you use the express checkout the order can be placed and seems fine. Now to wait and see.

Don't mind you beating me to it, I'll be interested in the results. I am indeed running Vista 64. Happy to help if I can. cheers Neil

I went straight in with four sticks. Not sure when I can get round to it but I if I do get the time I'll remove two sticks and see if there's any difference to LR2. Probably won't be for a couple of weeks at least, though. cheers Neil

Hi, running 4x2gb sticks. cheers Neil

I'm currently running LR2 on Vista 64 with 8GB, and for me it is very quick, but I can't compare it to only having 4GB as have never had that set up. I had the machine specifically built for vista 64 and 8gig so pretty certain that it is using all the memory. Was previously running LR 1.4 on...
