We've stayed at a caravan park at Grange over Sands, but its too far away from the best scenic parts, and a B & B in Ambleside, which was perfect. For biking, I suggest you look around Grizedale Forest, between lakes Windermere and Coniston http://www.forestry.gov.uk/grizedalehome

I got Understanding Exposure from Amazon - cheap as chips. And its great :-)

All done - thanks :clap:

Some pics of Grasmere / Rydal water taken on my N95 Can't wait till I go back in March with my A200

Hi riggy. I had the A200 for Xmas and I love it. But its my first camera, so i've got nothing to compare it with. In most online reviews, the A200 probably comes out just on top. In the 'Search' tab at the top of this forum, type in 'Sony A200, Nikon D40' and you'll see threads where this has...

I've just had my first DSLR, a Sony A200. Its generally accepted as one of the best entry level cameras and is proving to be very popular with us newbies. As we (hopefully) improve and want to progress to better cameras, we're probably most likely to stick with what we know and buy a better...

A photography pro told the her that if there are any bugs on your computer, you can cause problems on your camera if its linked by cable to your pc. Also, apparently, if there is a power cut/surge whilst the camera is 'cabled' to the pc, it can wipe the memory card and cause problems for the...

An amateur photographer in another forum, is a member of a camera club. She's been warned about potential damage to her camera, from connecting it directly to her PC. Does anyone know of this ?

Same to you - and to everyone. :clap: And thanks for all the help you're all going to give this newbie in 2009 :D

DONE IT !!! Thanks for all your tips. A combination of updating windows, re installing my Sony software and changing usb plugs seems to have worked. I've now got my photo's on my PC. Now i've just got to take some photo's worth posting. But 'Understanding Exposure' arrived this morning (only...

Haven't got a clue :shrug: I tired downloading Windows updates but my PC won't let me do that either :eek: It just freezes before its finished. I've had this one since 2002 so it hasn't done bad. Now I'm seriously thinking new PC

The wizard hasn't worked :bang: I've plugged my sat nav into the same usb and its fine. Its got to be a software problem - which, according to Mr Google, is what others with the same problem have found.

Problem is, the card reader plugs in to the same usb as lead that came with the camera. And that doesn't work :shrug:
