I know this is an old thread but thought I'd add my vote too. My husband bought an XF1 for my 40th birthday in 2014. I never felt it performed very well from the start and to be honest didn't hardly use it for quite a while. When I did start using it I found that it kept over exposing all the...

Hello everyone I'm looking for a compact camera that I can carry around with me in my bag at all times. I own a Canon 5D Mark II but it tends to get left at home a lot because it's so bulky and I'd really like something which is more portable but still produces pretty decent pictures. A quick...

PM coming your way!

The batteries are all quite old so probably do need replacing, they have been working fine and holding a charge up until Friday when this problem first became apparent. I thought that as it seems to be happening with all the batteries the problem would possibly lie with the charger or the body...

Quick question for those more knowledgeable than myself. When I try to charge my batteries for my Canon 40d they are coming up on the charger as full very quickly but when I put them in the camera they then run out within about 10 minutes. This is happening with all 6 of my batteries so I...

Thanks for this have been thinking of taking the plunge for a while and this has been very helpful :) Have filled in the forms online and also registered for the basics course in becoming self employed - if I'm going to do this I want to make sure I'm going about everything the right way.

As much as I love my DSLR sometimes it just isn't easy for me to carry around all the time and occasionally I'm missing things which I would've liked to have captured. My current compact is really outdated (Canon Ixus 80) and I've been considering getting something newer for a while. I keep...

Please add me - going to give this a go as have been thinking about it for a while now. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sharon_curran

Hmmmm I really want a new compact. I have a Canon Ixus 80 but it is definitely in need of replacing and I can't be bothered to carry my 40d everywhere with me so am in the market for an upgrade on the compact. Looking at the responses it seems the S95 has plenty of good feedback - currently...

Does anyone have any recommendation for portable back drops with built in stand which are easily fold upable. Must be good quality but reasonable priced? thanks in adavance :)

I bought a second hand 17 - 55 off the buy and sell section on here a while ago and it never leaves my camera, I love it! I am currently shooting using a 40d and this lens is so versatile as I can use it for portraits, landscapes and any other general shooting I do. If you check out my flickr...

I have been looking at the prices online at Las Vegas stockists and to be honest the prices aren't actually that cheaper to the UK - less than £100 for the body so I'm now thinking that it isn't worth getting it over there and have to pay import tax etc. I really wish I could stretch to the...

We are going to Las Vegas :) I mostly take quite close portraits - close facial shots and head and shoulders rather than full length body shots.

As it goes I am going to America in October and so I'm pretty sure I will be making a purchase while I am out there as it makes sense to buy it over there as they are so much cheaper. Definitely decided to get the 5D Mark II now as I think I can grow into it and it will be a more long lasting...
