I would be very interested in any opinions people might have on either
of these books.
Or, if not on the books themselves, perhaps on the authors if you've
read other stuff by them.

Trying to get either a Velbon Maxi 343 or Manfrotto 714B but want to look at
both first to compare. Unfortunately Jessops have the High street monopoly
but don't carry the stock.

I have just bought from eBay some rechargeable (Hahnel 2350 mAh) NiMH
batteries for my young un's Fuji digital camera.
I have a couple of old battery chargers lying around - will they be OK
for charging these batteries or should I get a new (fast) charger ?

Anyone know where I can buy a battery belt for my digi camera  4.5 -6.0
volt.  Fed up with changing the 4 aa batteries on a shoot
Thanks

Can anyone recommend a good starting lens for the Canon E0S 10d?
I will be mostly taking landscape and coastal shots.
Thanks

Probably going to forwarded to another group, but here it goes. I've got a
128MB SmartMedia card for my digital camera. The only thing is that its now
coming up as damaged card. I cant even use my camera to format the card. Is
there any way of making us of this card?
