Well, I've been digital for a couple of months now (not me, you understand,
but my camera) and I thought I'd share my thoughts...
I had an aborted attempt to become a digital bod a year or so back, with a
Fuji Finepix. We fell out due to Shutter lag (the time between pressing the

I've just received my 880 back from repair from Nikon. I took some test
pictures and they're all blurred.
Is this spherical aberration?

Firstly I am a total novice on any type of photography.
I would like advice on which digital camera to buy. I am limited
to those that have manufacturers underwater housings available.
I cannot afford a custom made housing.

I arranged to hire this 300mm lens from Calumet and went to their Birmingham
office to collect it yesterday.
Unfortunately head-office had sent the wrong lens (300mm f4.0 as opposed to
f2.8).

I've just got rid of my Nikon Coolpix 2500 with a view to upgrading.
Things that annoyed me most about the Nikon were:
(1) redeye problems
(2) annoying red-eye reduction implementation (3 flashes which always

I've recently purchased the above camera and, while I'm very pleased with it, I
can already see that the lens supplied with it (EF28mm-90mm f.4/5.6 USM) is
disappointing - it seems very soft and not a patch on the Rokkor lenses I used
to use with my defunct Minolta XD7.

Just a sanity check for my tired brain...
I'm looking at getting 300mm f4 EF prime lens (one of the IS / L
models).... anyway part of my reason for this is:-
1. It's probably the biggest decent prime lens I can afford...

Currently have a Konica KD-500Z.  5 million pixel, small-ish and optical
zoom.  Decided to buy a Sony DSC-U30 2 million pixel for nights out etc..
I'm not overly impressed with the Sony.  While close up pics are okay, some
pics turn out grainy.  I don't really want to get rid of the ...

Can I check I have this clear in my head?
Long lenses get "closer" they also make distant objects appear
big relative to foreground objects
Wide angles do the opposite.

What's the advantage in using a ?150 photographic halogen lighting unit over
a ?15 halogen garden light from B & Q?
I've had a look on Google and see comments on heat produced; colour of
light; and length of exposure required, compared to flash.  But I haven't

I have recently (after much saving) decided to take a massive leap in
photography by purchasing a Canon EOS 300D. I have always used point and
shoot, to take pics but have finally decided to become a bit more creative.
I am finding the digital SLR excellent for experimentating with ...
