    Beginner Canon 50E + BP-50 - some uncertainty with AA batteries

    I have no idea why, but the early rechargeable batteries were awful as noted by @hunnymonster above, however, I find modern high capacity ones are excellent and I've never had a problem of flashing lights with them in the grips of my 50E's. The was one issue that cropped up four or five years...

    Beginner Canon 50E + BP-50 - some uncertainty with AA batteries

    I have three of these cameras, two with the BP-50 grips so let me try and answer your questions: 1) I noticed that when I take photos with the camera's internal flash, the camera turns off when I use the battery grip with its AA batteries. Is this normal? NO it isn't normal, are you sure they...

    Adobe -money grab

    John, read the text properly and you will see that the increase only applies to those who want to continue paying monthly. If that's what you do, then why not switch to an annual payment and keep the price the same as you are paying now? That's what I did, see....

    Bug Forbidden!

    I've never had it on my Windows 11 PC using Firefox, I wonder if it's somehow network related rather than site related? I'm no techie, just guessing.

    With respect, I think you are being a tad impatient. I have had cause to return stuff several times recently and each time I have received full return details within 48 hours, which I think is very reasonable and far better than an immediate automated email acknowledging receipt.

    Happy St. George's day!

    From today's newspaper: According to church rules any saint’s day falling in Holy or Easter week moves to the week after the Easter fortnight, usually to the first Monday. This means St Georges Day has been ‘transferred’ from today, Wednesday, April 23 to next Monday, April 28. I don't think...

    Any idea what flower this is ?

    I plucked a 'weed' from my garden and it was only when I went to dispose of it that I realised it was an orchid, I was mortified! Fortunately I spotted another one so I flagged it so as to avoid it with the mower. The one I plucked I put in a small vase with some water and to my utter amazement...
