I am a digital photgraphy newbie and I quite fancy the Sony Cybershot DSC
P200 but not too sure about the Sony proprietary Memory Stick.
They seem a lot dearer than e.g. SD memory but I may put up with that if
there are no other downsides.

I've been pulling my hair out today in my attempts to spend cash at a local
shop.  In my town there are two (yes, 2!) Jessops stores, one each end of
the town (with not much between).
I've been toying with buying one of three cameras; a Sony DSC-P200, a Canon

Dad had a 1960's Agfa camera. I'm looking at the prints from it, and the
transparencies. The prints are square (well, very near square)
approximately 3 ½" x 3½".  What size of film was dad using? Thanks.

Okay, I could buy a device for scanning negatives, but I've only got say
about 400 negatives. So, I don't think buying a dedicated negative
scanner is necessarily economic.
Next,  I could find a friend who has a scanner.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good book (or maybe online
tutorial, but I'd probably like a good meaty book also) on the basics of
posing a model? I think I'm looking for formal and informal views.
I'd love to take great photos of my wife, and she'd like me to take them,

As LCD viewfinders are hard to see in sunlight, and optical viewfinders
do not show what the camera makes of the scene, does anyone know of a
camera with an internal LCD screen that is viewed via a lens like a
normal optical one? It seems to me there is a marketing opportunity

I am looking at purchasing a Pentax Optio 60 digital camera - It looks to
have the features I want at not much cost- One question though.
In my days of 35mm photography, it was easy to isolate a subject through
depth of field. The above camera has a manual option so will this be

I'm after a digital compact with a 28mm -or better still 24 - (35mm
equivilent) lens. Not too worried about optical zoom levels - 2 or 3 is
fine. Lots of manual control needed and a decent built in flash allow
difficult difficult light work. 4+meg is fine. Asking alot for a ...

And who lives within a reasonable distance of windsor?
And who would be foolish enough to let me borrow it?

I bought a 350d last week from cameras2u.com, Canon are offering £100 cash
back if you buy the item with a mastercard, which I did. I order to claim
the money back you have to send off your receipt clearly showing the item
was paid for with a mastercard. The problem is, the ...

I would like to show you the picture of the
week.

My missus wants a film camera and I have no idea what to get, I would be
grateful if someone more familiar with the current market please suggest
whats good that have the following:
All in one snap size (she already has 35mm SLR kit)

I recently part-exchanged my Canon 300 f4 as I had hardly used it along with
some other kit to part finance my upgrade from 10D to 20D with 10-22.
I now have:
20D

I have a Canon EF 50mm F1.4 lens and there is sand in the front of it
preventing the autofocus from working. Should I send it back to Canon UK
for repair or an independent place? If independent, which one?
Thanks a lot!

This weekend, or soon after, I've been asked to take some pictures of some
very lively kittens. I don't have a whole load of equipment, basically an
EOS20D with built-in flash, tripod, and that's about it.
I'm planning to get hold of some lights today, but since the photos will
