That is SO helpful, thank you very much. What I might do is get the wife to take a few shots of me swinging a club in the garden one evening this week using the different settings you've suggested there (I've cut, pasted, printed!). I'll then take a couple of different ones next weekend and post...

Hello again, just some more advice needed if you wouldn't mind. I'm involved in a charity golf event next weekend and I was going to take my brand spanking shiny new Sony A300 along with me to get some photos of the team before teeing off etc. I then thought I might take a few photos of some...

I posted on here for the first time about a week to ten days ago asking for the exact same advice. I was stuck between a Sony A200 or a Nikon D40/D60. I must have spent hours and hours researching all the different reviews and options etc. I ended up in Jessops last weekend to have a look at the...

It's a good idea and one I've considered. I've just seen a Sony A300 (including 18-70mm 3.5-5.6f DT lens) on Ebay with a starting bid of £200 which looks really cheap. It's 6 months old and comes with a receipt, looks in great nick. Still 4 days to run though so I'll keep an eye on it. It's...

Oh no! :bang: My mind is almost made up. I'm going to go to a proper camera shop on Saturday and take a look at the A200 first. Also...apologies for posting this question in the wrong forum. I should have posted in the Talk Equipment forum I guess. I've just read the great thread started...

All the different suggestions are being taken on board, guys. I have to say the more I think about it the more I'm leaning towards the DSLR as I think I have one of those personalities that might well get hooked on photography once I understand more about it etc. I don't really want to be having...

Amazon are currently selling the Nikon D40 with AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II for £279.99 with free delivery. Not bad! I found a website that I'm sure everyone here has heard of (but new to me) called www.digitalcamerainfo.com earlier. Man alive, I've never read such indepth...

I was just about to order two books off Amazon before buying the camera - 1. Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 Digital Field Guide by Alan Hess 2. Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera by Bryan Peterson I was set on the Sony A200 before you just...

Thanks for that as well. Blimey....this is deffo the most useful forum I've ever seen!!

Cheers Andy.....don't think I haven't already priced up the zoom lens (for macro pics?) on Amazon!! I think you're probably right in that I may end up spending £250 on the Panasonic bridge camera and then wishing I'd spent £280 on the Sony DSLR only a few months later. And, as someone pointed...

What's a flashgun?! I'm not that bothered about the viewfinder, I want it to take quality photos.....I'm guessing the viewfinder is the only difference between the A200 and the A300 and so bumps up the price?

Thanks for the replies so far. Still not sure! Is there much in difference in the Nikon D40 and the Sony A200?

Hello forum, brand new member here, very first post. Right now I only have a regular compact 'point n click' digital camera albeit a decent enough Fuji Finepix one. I want to upgrade to something that takes proper photographs as opposed to 'snaps'. Initially I started my research with...
