Hey folks. Found this on ebay. I dunno what to make of it? I'm the sort of person that feels that a tyre is a tyre so I'm happy sticking the cheap ones on but I'm curious how people feel about the following filter kit on Ebay. Is this too cheap for what you get? Some of the filters don't even...

Cool, are the meets arranged on here might i ask!?

Yeah i'm the same. Called offshore before i could review what pics i've taken. Perfect eh!? I've been looking at lenses too. Didn't quite anticipate those prices i must say! I was thinking the same. Speak to the college or see that club just of George street. But once i'm done working i'll...

The 90 minutes came round eventually!! Clearly an owner or ex owner? Did you like it?

Ha ha. Nothing wrong with a good tangent! At least it was still camera related! I actually got mine from Tesco. Had a donkey load of vouchers so I got it cheaper than a reasonable second hand one. And I'm chuffed. Just wish it'd charge quicker! :D

Well I fancied the point and shoot DSC-HX1. I just needed someone who knew what they were talking about to tell me no! Get an SLR! ha. Books on order too!

how comes?

It has been done! I've returned home with a D40 started kit. Battery is on charge now!! I'm excited i must say!

Well that's me pulling on my trainers. Off to Jessops! Thanks for all advice given. Its very much appreciated. I'm somewhat of a tight b****r when it comes to money so I'm hoping to arm myself with advice/info before making a purchase!

Hey folks. Complete newbie to the photography world. Need advice on what camera to purchase as a starting block. Happy to stick to Canon or Nikon but I need a suggestion on models to look at. Hoping to stick within the £300 bracket but could be flexible I guess. Cheers Chris

Cool, when I first looked into the weapon I'd like I looked at the Nikon D40. How does that perform as a camera for beginners? Building a plane? In his shed?! Christ the houses at Fittie aren't that big, let alone the sheds!

Morning folks! Chris the forum Noob here! Been wanting to get into photography for a while now, but I'm stumbling at the first hurdle. What fricken camera do I purchase!! I considered a DSLR but then I felt that that's diving in the deep end for someone who's only ever fiddled with a...
