You could use a NSLU-2 with the hacked firmware and run the SlimServer on that; means you wouldn't have to have your PC on to get access to your music.

£425 is the best price I've seen at the moment; that is a fantastic price. I'm tempted to buy one just to back-up my 7D at the moment.

Depends what you want to photograph. You could go to Kew again; the bulbs should be out and if the weather is good, it'll look fantastic. Or go to one of the many museums in London; free entrance... Day trip to Oxford maybe; again if the weather's good, lots of opportunity for good...

Hmmm, you could always get a remote release cord and have it in your pocket; that way it wouldn't even look like you were fiddling with your camera. I reckon if you set your 18-70mm at about 20mm, which will give you an equivalent to 30mm; set your aperture to f8 and shutter to about 200; might...

Me and the missus went to Kew earlier in the week...supposedly to take pictures of orchids but for various reasons involving stupidity I didn't take the right lenses so I didn't really get the pictures I wanted but I did take this in the marine display which I quite like. I've never had much...

However, as you can pick-up a 5D with kit lens for less than 400 notes; you might want to take the risk anyway.

You should be okay, I still managed to get 200+ pictures from my 7D on a single charge when I was at one of the evening openings at Kew and it was freezing. I reckon you'll be fine with your 5D; if you are that worried, in theory turning the AS will give you some extra life.

If he could get one.....they're as rare as rocking horse poo at the moment, no-one has any in stock. Which is a right royal pain as I got made redundant last week but already had a job lined up to go to...so the redundancy money is there to be played with (well some of it). However, there are...

And me...and lots of others on this forum. Even tho' it's called Understanding Exposure, it covers a lot more than that.

It's funny the way that KM's pulling out of the market has had the effect of increasing demands for the kit....and sent the price of lenses through the roof. I've seen the 70-210 f4 going for way over a ton on the Bay; you could get them for about sixty quid a year ago. Congrats on getting...

The convertors SHOULD be compatible across both brands. And you loose the stops across the range.

A compact which has decent high iso's so that you don't miss the shot.

I've just ordered the Panasonic Lumix LX-1 as a back-up to my dSLR,. I know the LX-1 has noise issues but it will take RAW which means I can do the noise reduction myself. And I've seen some absolutely fantastic pictures taken with it. If you take landscapes, it's 16:9 aspect ratio might make it...

AP=Amateur Photographer; they run a photographer of the year competition which is very well respected. They also print several readers portfolios a week. And I meant Practical Photography as opposed to Popular Photography but they also print reader portfolios. Go to WH Smith and go through the...

Actually, I don't think that is true on the Fuji S3; you appear to be able to get a live preview mode on the LCD and that is done by a mirror lock-up. I maybe wrong but I am fairly certain remember reading that.

You would need an adapter to use the lens on a newer Canon.....

Other things to do is to start entering competitions if you haven't already. Get a portfolio published in AP, PopPhoto etc....you need to start building a name. Friend of mine got a couple of pictures published in AP Photographer of the Year comp and started to pick up work. Not enough to live...

Sounds like it....probably with the kit lens I suspect.

Ummm.....the Fuji does have a Nikon F mount...

The fact that they have divided opinion makes them even better; it'd be very boring if we all liked the same things. I think that they are very nice; changed holiday snaps into something interesting and striking.
