    DSLR or CSC for travel?

    I bought a SX280HS specifically to go on holiday with. It goes in my pocket and means that I can get photos anywhere & I don't feel too worried about wandering through busy streets with a DSLR. I was really quite amazed about the quality that I got out of it. Saying that I wouldn't class...

    Link Delight - Questions

    Same here, bought a grip and a remote timer on separate occasions, delivery time is a bit longer than usual but both were good value and worked exactly as expected. I'd use them again.

    lens and the cold,

    I took my 50D into the arctic this winter and was happily using it at -25C. The remote that I was using didn't fare as well with a frozen cable and a flat battery after 20 minutes! So I think that you should be fine. Our accommodation was at a tropical -5c and I got condensation in the lens in...

    Where to for your Future purchase?

    I've bought from WEX before and have heard good things about Park Cameras too. I did try and spend some money in Camera World in Chelmsford a few weeks ago but the guy who was in charge when I was in there was so rude and ignorant that I just left.

    Lens selection

    My default lens for wandering around with has been the 28-135mm. It's not expensive and gives a reasonable zoom length for general use. Obviously I would like the 24-105L but that might take me a while to save for!

    entry level dslr's how long did you keep yours

    2 years for my 450D and then moved to a 50D. Probably going to be another couple of years saving up but I really want a 7D already!

    Canon 70-200L - IS or non IS?

    I've got the same dilemma as you - the 70-200 seems to be the next purchase but not quite sure which one! Obviously I would love the mk II 2.8 IS but given the cost I'm thinking about the non IS as it's a bit more affordable and can't work out if I should get an f4 IS or a 2.8 non IS...

    What camera for a complete novice?

    I've had a 450d as a first camera for a couple of years and learned an awful lot. Don't necessarily need the top end cameras as a first one. Clearly now I'm looking to spend more money for an upgrade but still love my current camera. Would definitely think about buying a low usage 2nd hand one...

    Star Trail advice please

    I did wonder if that was a single or multiple exposures...

    Star Trail advice please

    That looks really good - much better than my first attempt last night! What was the exposure length for that?

    Bargain 60D

    Not always - their T&Cs are quite clear that they don't accept your order until it has been despatched by them. Once you tick the box saying that you agree to the terms & conditions there's not much you can do...

    Link delight battery grip?

    Exactly the same here, no problems with it other than the ink around the buttons is nowhere near as hard wearing as on the camera itself...

    Canon EF 50mm f1.8 MK2

    This was the first lens that I bought after playing with the kit lens that comes with the camera. Its great for the price especially in low light for family gatherings, parties etc. and as there's generally a good demand if you decide it's not for you and you want to sell it on.
