The only time I took my camera out properly this year, a trip to the outer Hebrides 1, Cormorant by ShootinJack, on Flickr 2, IMG_4562-Edit by ShootinJack, on Flickr

Hi there, I am going to Sweden in a few weeks time and the sensor on my 40D has some dust spots on it. Dalephotographic offer a cleaning service and I was wondering if anyone had any experience of their cleaning service? Thanks in advance.

Good work, very impressed with the new app. :)

Look up the cheapest price on the web first and then ask them if they price match. They do have room to move on the price, they may need to make a phone call first though. Went in the other day to look at a G12 for my dad, instore price was £438, went away and looked up the cheapest price on...

Thanks for the replies, I think the F4 IS is a little too expensive along with the 1.4TC for me. I suppose the a monopod would be very useful with that combination. mcloi, do you have some sample shots you could post for me? I have been searching through flickr for shots taken with that lens...

Hi, My kind wife bought me a 40D for Christmas, I have a Sigma 17-70 already which I am happy with. I am going to Australia at the end of March for a wedding / holiday, I have been given the go ahead to purchase a new lens before we go but am struggling with my decision. I have always wanted...

I have a 40D waiting for me, it has been in the house for over a month now :-( roll on Christmas day morning :)

That's good to hear, the defuser from my 380EX is just a little bit too big. :)

Looks like I got mine just in time this morning, ordered it for collection at 9am this morning, picked up at around 10.30am. Work's well with my 350D. Bargain, big thankyou to the OP! :)

When pressing the pilot button the flash fires as you would expect it to. I cleaned the contacts also. Will look at getting a 2nd quote for reapir, thanks again for your help HoppyUK :)

Thanks for the response, much appreciated. The flash fires when taking a photo, but the photo comes out like it hasn't fired. Had the same result in the shop too. Have just checked custom functions and it isn't disabled. The flash is attached via the hot shoe on top of the camera and I have...

Hi, My 380EX flash gun fires but doesn't appear to sync with the camera, so shots come out as if the flash hasn't fired at all. Have tried the flash gun on both a 350D and a 40D with the same results. Have also tried it in all modes on the camera. Took it to a local camera shop, and was...

I used World of Bags recently and had no problems, delivery was quick and their prices are some of the cheapest around.

^^ Partition Magic is a great bit of software. This won't be of much use to you now, but something to bear in mind should you need to re-install again. During the install of XP, when it asks you which drive you want to install to select your drive but then manually set your partition to...

Great stuff Gary, really enjoy your landscape photo's. Your progress as been great to watch. :)
