After years of threatening, I've finally bought myself a semi-decent
camera which should arrive tomorrow.
Its a Minolta A200 and I'll need to get a Compact Flash card for it.
I'll probably go for a 1Gb card as prices seem to be falling but I'm

Looking to get my first digital camera. Need advice please.
Requirements:-
1. photos of family, pets, home interior, garden shots, country landscapes
2. uploading to web, max size 800x800 pixels, max 300dpi

need some packs of decent A4 photo paper, glossy, not too thick/heavy . Last
lot from Aldi is crap with a pattern on the back which shows thru the thick
card.
Any ideas welcome - not tooo expensive mind!

Does the autofocus mechanism on digital cameras work bu using sound waves or
by calculating focus/sharpness via the CCD/detector?
I ask because I was wondering if it is possible to shoot pictures through

Just found out that Photobox - http://www.photobox.co.uk are doing an
offer until midnight tonight (Tuesday 14th) where you can get 10 10x8
prints for 1UKP (plus 1.50UKP postage/packing).
Having used Photobox on many an occasion, I can recommend them.

In the Summer my son (lucky so and so) will be off on a school trip to Costa
Rica for a month and will be 'out in the sticks' for most of the time.
Naturally we'd like to see lots of photos of the trip and I'm sure he'll
want to look back on the trip from the photos.

I'm looking for some good info on black and white photography using
digital equipment. Do any digital cameras shoot B&W? If not, how do I
best capture an image before stripping the colour in PhotoShop - I can't
see the Zone System being much use... actually, I'm not sure about that.

I would like to show you, the picture of the week.
In square and b&w.

I have a printer that will do borderless printing, I would like to print
some of my photos off, but in various sizes like A4, 10 x 8, 7 x 5 and 6 x 4
and so on, I would like a piece of software that will allow me to do this, I
don't need any thing else just a simple program that ...

I've narrowed my choice of camera down to three. To make the final
decision I need to handle each one - there is no way I am going to
commit myself to a >£500 spending decision without at least handling and
trying out each model. The trouble is, I can't find a retailer with

Is there a company that will insure £1200 worth of camera gear all risks.  I
do not have a house insurance so can't tag on

I need to repair two of these.
The first is marked CANON ZOOM LENS EF 75-300mm 1:4-5.6 III
The zoom action has become stiff with use and I need to lubricate it. I'm
confident that I have the necessary tools and skill to dismantle it from the
