Been looking at getting one of these but they either seem cheap and rubbish or great but £80 or so. (B+W ND10) Is there a middleground out there? Can you get a decent one for about £40 or is it a case of sucking it up and just buying a B+W? Thanks,

Hi, Just bought a Canon Powershot Sx 230 and I am charging the battery for the first time as we speak. The manual says when charging the battery, the light on the charger will be orange and move to green when fully charged. However mine is a solid red when I plug it in. Should I be...

Hi, Thanks for replying. I know it won't raise much money but I've seen them go for £60-70 on ebay and every little helps I guess. Do you think I should keep it as a 'just in case' ? I can afford the 35mm without selling the kit lens. How is the sharpness on the 35mm at similar apertures to...

Thinking about buying this lens to go on my Nikon D40 and selling the 18-55mm kit lens to partly pay for it. Does this seem like a good idea? Is the 35mm focal length wide enough to be a good walkabout lens on a DX camera? My main interest is in low light handheld city stuff at night and...

Thanks for all your replies guys. I bought that £30 grip on amazon, it's not too much money wasted if it;s no good and I probably could flog it on ebay for like £20 anway in the event of that.

There's a d90 selling on ebay right now with the bundled 18-105 lens with it selling for £525 with 45m to go. How much would this drop by roughly do you think following the announcement of a new camera?

yardbent, is that textured plastic on the grip in the same style as the D40 itself or just smooth plastic? I saw a youtube video of as grip where the guy said it was advertised as textured plastic when it wasn'[t and he found that very disappointing. Found this on amazon, very cheap and has...

You know, it never occured to me to try a grip! Doh! :cuckoo: Any ideas on which ones in particular are good? This looks interesting plus 2 free batteries, not sure how good they would be though...

Hi, I hasve sort of fallen out of taking photos for the past few months and part of the reason I think is because my Nikon D40 is just too small in my hands and I don't feel entirely comfortable with it. I have quite big hands and was in the market for a reasonably priced DSLR to replace it...

I have reviewed the Fastpack 250 here, if you fancy.

When you think about the amount of work involved setting up the rig, getting a stable photo and photoshopping the rig out in a manner that looks good, I'd argue some kind of directional blur applied on the photo and then the sharp image of the car pasted on as a new layer may be the easier option.

Yeah, I gave my brother a copy of my photos to keep at his flat just in case. ;)

(This is for people who shoot RAW) Do you just leave the unprocessed RAW files in the folder for the days shooting or do you process every one and keep a JPEG of it etc, or do you do both? Personally I prefer leaving the unprocessed RAW file in the folder. If I prepare a print image I...
