For me just what I've gotten used to I suppose. Windows 7 is a huge improvement over Vista, performance wise Windows 8 maybe better but I find using it very awkward

Mac user here, have a Windows 8 laptop without touch screen in the house also and it's a pain to use! Windows 7 would get my vote

Manufactures would recommend you remove them. Myself, I have always left batteries in the camera.

My Camera doesn't have any warranty left so no harm done there I guess. I would imagine that the cells used in most batteries are produced in the same place and all the manufacturers do is assemble them and badge the cases. A bit like laptops, Dell sell laptops and build them but they don't make...

I've just ordered a Duracell version of the Canon BP-511 for my 40D, will se what it's like at the weekend. Was about £10 instead of £45 for the OEM ones.

Try booting up in safe mode, then repairing the disk permissions. There's a very good clean up app called "onyx" which I rate very highly. Cleans out all the caches and others to refresh the computer.

I spent a long time trying to find a way of gettin text messages from one phone on to another. Getting off i finally managed how ever gettin them back onto another phone was impossible. I could be proved wrong though.

I thought that when getting my first mac. How ever they wern't much help when a few things went wrong. Came up with as many excuses as they could think of and the poeple you talk didn't seem to have a clue.

I wont matter when you by it, it will be out of date before you know it. This isn't a bad thing where macs are concerned what so ever. Mines now two years old and going strong! You wont be disappointed!!

Just download it off the canon website, its all there in the support section of the website. Got a feeling all canon SLR's ship with the same software.

Yeh i would put it done to the GPU or lack of it. The new macbooks though would cope with it i would imagine with apples claims of a 5 times faster graphics chip.

I would imagine the city would produce alot of light itself, it would be hard if not impossible to use just moonlight for a photo of this subject. My best advice would be to get out there and experiment, its the most fun way of learning and your guaranteed to get some interesting shots.

I've got a tamrac adventure 74 (model 5374) and altho its small its is rather mighty and i have no many occasions been amazed how much stuff you can get in, and attach to, this bag. The bags are well constructed and offer a good amount of protection for you gear.

I would suggest put the camera in manual mode, setting it up on a tripod and playing around with different shutter/aperture combinations see what works and what you like.

I've used sketchup on my macbook (2ghz core 2 duo, 2gb ram) seemed to me to be abit slow. I dunno what sort of spec you machine is, probably best just to give it a go see how you get on. Theres also alot of good turials for sketchup if you look around.
