Thanks for the advice. It's a nice bit of info for my sister and I to investigate further :)

Hi, Hopefully a few here can help :) My sister would like to put together a home studio for family portraits and is looking at buying a home studio photography kit, but we're at a loss as to exactly what we need. It's going to be used mainly for portrait photography as I said and for...

Hi, Hopefully this is the right place to ask this. Back in the mid 1990's I'd bought an APS Advantix compact camera and had taken many photos with it when at university. Those photos were printed at normal size. Earlier today went into Jessops and tried to get some of those photos enlarged...

The G11 is one camera that I've had to talk myself out of buying for now. I'd love to get it right now if I could though. However, since I don't really need it until the end of the year, I've decided to wait and see what the G12 offers when it finally arrives, which I assume it will do around Sept?

As I understand it, IE starts faster because part of it is already started when Windows itself starts up. Hence that's why it's starts slightly faster... It's already loaded into memory. I believe there is an option in Firefox somewhere that starts it up in the same way that Windows does with...

Indeed! With Rip-off Britain they'll just change the $ sign to a £ sign. Sometime back I had to be a book and it had the prices printed on the cover at the back... $39.99 and £39.99

I would stay away from V12 Finance if at all possible. I had the misfortune of dealing with them in November just gone when I was buying a new computer. I found their call centre staff extremely rude and arrogant. One woman who I spoke to had the attitude that you were below her because you...

I bought the first two books ages ago... They promptly got borrowed by my sister and I never saw them again :)

It took months for my cashback to arrive, even then it was after wasting a fair bit of time chasing it up and being told to wait. Only finally got it after complaining to the Canon offices in Ireland, who I believe were processing the cashback applications.

Full Frame? Do you have any additional information on this or any references that you can point me to about this? Much appreciated. Thanks. :)

How is that done? Any chance you can give some pointers on how you installed it via USB. Thanks! :)

Can someone please recommend or suggest some torches that can be used with photography to draw with light. Torches of different coloured light would be good as well. I've looked at some torches on Amazon but not sure if they are suitable. I'm sure you all know the kind of photos I'm talking...

I'd prefer to use Canon cameras only. I've had and used other makes of camera over the years and they've all disappointed... Except for Canon.

Got a phone call from my sister a little while ago. She didn't take her 450D along because she was worried that she wouldn't be allowed to take it in. It turns out that loads of people are using DSLRs at the event. Not surprisingly my sister was more then a little annoyed by it. The whole 'NO...

I would be very interested to read that thread, especially if it had a link to a news article confirming it.
