Merry Xmas folks.
I've still got some used stuff for sale. Please have a look and see if

Otherwise I'm off to EBay.

Because when using standard 35mm camera lenses with dSLR cameras one has to
factor the mag by c1.6 (because of the ccd size), but because the
photographer looks TTL, does this mean that what I see thru the lense and
what the CCD sees are different?  (Thinking about buying the ...

can anyone recommend a reasonably cheap, but reasonably good (if that
indeed exists!) universal quick release tripod plate that will fit on a
manfrotto 719b (which has a built in head).
i s'pose i'm only think of spending £30 on 2 plates and the thing to fix

I've foolishly been browsing on eBay and noticed AF SLR's can be had with
lenses for around the £100 mark. There's lots of different EOS models, and I
wondered which ones are a best buy 2nd hand wise. Or which models to avoid.

held on until digital got good and cheap. (Actually, I needed the camera no

Looking to get a digicam for a friend
I know that <?100 doesnt buy much but it should serve there purposes (i.e
they currently use the one-use film cameras) as the currently only use on
holiday (P&S) and will print of pics no bigger than 6x4.

My boys have broken the mechanism which opens the rear cover... I can
force it open but something is broken inside. The rest of the camera

Looking for advice/input/suggestions. I've done a google search but I think

A few months ago, I sent a photo of a horse for sale to an equestrian
