Paul, If you haven't emptied your recycle bin then you will find them all sitting there. Pehaps the time to say, backup and backup again. John

Didn't know you could still buy 2gb hard drives. Might hold a few photos. Perhaps you mean 2 x 2tb hard drives.

I do enjoy a bit of photoshopping. Dodging and burning for example. But they were used in the film darkroom. It's also good the way that camera menus can be used to produce a reasonable jpeg. Or should we all shoot in RAW and simply do a bit of cropping, etc? What about those...

I have ordered flash memory from Camerabox.co.uk based in Thame, Oxon. Next day delivery, very good. John

Given that the 50d was out and had some additional features, many chose the 40d simply because it represented the best value for money. I think the chip on the 40d is newer than the 30, also it has more pixels. John

I have the 450d and have enjoyed using it for nearly one year now. I would strongly recommend looking for a used camera in mint condition - can normally save 30%. A link to a 400d with two lenses (on another forum, you would have to register)...

I have the 70-300 too. Nothing really in its class/price. See this link: http://www.bobatkins.com/photography/reviews/ef_70_300is_review.html John

I would expect a used 40d to sell for £400-450; or £500 with a battery grip. Low usage, in mint condition. John

I have photoshop cs. I also have bought photoshop elements 7. However, you could use canon dpp program that come free with the camera. That would allow you to convert the raw files and do some processing prior to transfer to photoshop cs. John

Lisa, I have ZoomBrowser on the desktop along with the EOS Utility and DPP. When you open ZoomBrowser it will tend to open as a default in the Pictures directory. However, you can change the file location. A good piece of software, and for free!!! John

Use ZoomBrowser that comes with the bundled Canon software. John

Here is an example of a Sony, plus two lenses on another forum. http://www.avforums.com/forums/digital-camera-camcorder-classifieds/1013037-sale-sony-a200-sigma-70-300-bargain-price.html It does look like good kit, but its a Sony and the seller seems to have problems in selling the brand...

Alan, Generally speaking, with tripods you get what you pay for. Stability is a key factor. The red snapper brand has quite a large following. The tripod can be bought for £50, but you then have to buy a head. The three way head is £30. A link to their website...
