There was no restrictions on photographing the Mona Lisa in the Louvre when I was there. It is kept behind glass like.

Why ? It has partial metering which is mostly good enough. Spot metering is redundant in manual mode, and largely redundant with exposure lock. I dont get all the 1000D bashing, its a fantastic camera for the price. Its virtually the same as the 400D, but with live view and auto dust...

Sorry but you're wrong. You do not need to purchase a new domain with your hosting company. Your hosting company will give you the nameserver settings that you set your domain with the other company to. Its very common to have 1 company handle the domain registration and other companies do...

Yep, if you get a new hosting solution with another company, they will give you a list of nameservers for your domain. in 123.reg control panel you should be able to set your domain name servers to that your new host will give you. After abot 24 hours for DNS propegation your domain should...

You dont need to transfere your domain, you just need to change the nameservers it points to, which would be on your new hosting. Or you can transfere your domain if you want.

I personally dont think the images look that bad. The noise can easily be cleaned up in software and is probably the result of increasing exposure on a dark image. The sharpness could probably be improved in software too. Something like Lightroom would be able to sort it just fine. I dont...

http://www.mymemory.co.uk/SD-Cards?filters=size:65536 Not as fast as 90MB/s, but they're significantly cheaper than a 90MB 64GB CF. Wont be long untill SD cards overtake CF in speed though. Although why anyone would want to spend over £300 on a single card, SD or CF is beyond me.

I dont really understand. If you want to upgrade your burst speed, you would goto the next line up, not stay on the same product line, hoping for a marginal improvement. Thats like buying the exact same car again, but just a newer version. You wouldn't expect it to be loads faster. Its...

I personally dont see what all this fuss is about. So it doesn't have a mag allow body, big deal. End result probably means nothing. I had to laugh when 1 person moaned at it being lighter being plastic, then another person moaning the swivel screen will just add weight. :D Look its a 50D...

Ok, I'll give you that it might help in lots of flash situations. But I argue, that on a digital camera, theres no-excuse for having poorly exposed shots, regardless of whether you have a light meter or not. As you can easily see how well the shot is exposed instantly afterwards.

Why do you need a light meter for digital photography ? Cant you just do a test shot, look at the histogram, if its too dark, increase the exposure. Too bright, decrease the exposure ? What is a light meter going to give me, that I cant work out for myself with a couple of test shots ?

The build quality of mac's is terrible. No-where near as good as decent PC manufactuers. There was some report a while ago, stating that Mac's have the largest return rate of any desktop pc. I've used PC's for years, never had a problem. I've tried a MAC a few times, but I'm used to...

Why not narrow down your choices, then hire them out for a test in the field, and see which one works best for you ? Think of it as an investment towards picking the right lens.

IS doesn't freeze movement in your subject, only removes it from the photographer. If you use some kind of support when shooting, go for the non-IS one.

Taken on my holga last year or so I think.
