I took the camera to fixation. The problem related to the on/off switch, so they replaced the switch and whatever circuit it was connected to and everything is now up and running. They also sorted out the lens which needed a new diaphragm. Great service, I dropped the camera off at 8am, had a...

Cheers for the advice guys. I doubt it's condensation, not that the camera wouldn't have been exposed to condensation a few times but not at the time when it died. I haven't tried replacing the clock battery, but as I understand it that shouldn't prevent the camera from starting. Is that...

I've tried with contact cleaner now, and it's still as dead as a dodo. I fear it's back to Canon (unless anyone has any suggestions). I have a lens that's on the blink too (17-85 that moans about dirty contacts when I press the shutter release), so maybe bight the bullet. Anyone got any...

I gave them a bit of a wipe but no contact cleaner available until I get home, so I will have to wait until Wednesday. Cheers Kendo.

Hey all, My 50D died whilst on holiday and am hoping for inspiration for things to try before sending it off to Canon. Happened, after 2 weeks on holiday, 1000 ish photos in. Camera was at rest on a table, and I was flicking through photos. Turned away for a couple of mins, turned back, camera...

Nice. Always enjoy looking at your work, nice to get some official recognition. Congrats

Hey all, Just bought myself a 70-200 and want to go practice on some local sport. The only issue, I have absolutely no clue what you can and can't shoot, if I can just turn up at events, or even the best events to arrive at. First thought was some local rugby or football, but even then I...

Another vote from me for Tradecanvasprint, I have one on the wall

The Range have a pretty wide selection depending on the quality you're after

I don't believe you can protect people from themselves, or necessarily have an obligation to do so. Our lifestyles are now so anti-health that it has to be a conscious choice to be fit. I think it's a well intentioned idea that will achieve absolutely nothing.

Sorry, it was a bit out of budget at that size, just highlighting that all manufacturers produce great TVs these days

Hmm, wish everyone was like that. 10 years or so ago I had a job as a supply teacher (long story, no training, happy to bore anyone if required). It was only a short term thing just after finishing Uni, but they forgot to take me off the payroll when I left. The first pay cheque that...

Not to throw more confusion into the mix but we have a 46 inch samsung and it's first class. Tiny frame/surround on it, amazing picture. Fully recommended. I think the gist of it these days is that you can't really get a bad TV regardless of the manufacturer, they all make good equipment

Have to say I went to the wrong site twice, my first thought was that you had done a major redesign and launch, but a bit of poking around revealed the truth.
