Ha ha! You may mock but, ultimately, it does take great pics of my grandsons and that's all I am interested in... and it's different! :)

Started with a D40 in 2008; also have had a D80 and a D200. Current lineup, all purchased second hand with very low mileage: D50 x2 D300 D300S D700 The latest acquisition being one of the D50s, in silver, which I could not refuse for the princely sum of £33(!) - including kit lens - with...

What amazing shots! I find it difficult to capture images of dragon flies when they are settled, let alone in flight... Fantastic!

Agree that it is a fabulous shot, but also think that it would benefit from a tad more contrast. Just my modest view...

+1 for Redsnapper. I own one and it is very sturdy and great value for money, albeit at the top end of your budget.

As a beginner of many years, I have nothing constructive to add except that I agree with all the comments above. You seem to have a great eye for composition. I can pay no better compliment than to say that I am enjoying looking at your photos.

Fantastic image. Down here in the south-east we could not even see the moon, as it was so cloudy!

As has already been said, if it is more for fun than photography, then the vtech is ideal. Otherwise, why not consider a good, used compact camera? I recently purchased a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 on behalf of some friends, from a well known auction site, in excellent condition for about £38 and...

Hi everyone. A friend of mine has given me his old Pentax, as he has not used it for three years, and I am keen to play with it. The problem is that, no matter which batteries I use, the screen on the top of the camera flashes the 'battery empty' sign. I have read on the internet that this...

+1 for number 1. It is far more interesting and there is an 'enigmatic' look about her, and great colour. Love number 4 also!

That is a great set of photos and the pp is perfect in my humble opinion. I love them!

Another vote for Redsnapper! Very good quality and great value. Simon

I am really grateful for your advice so far and for your offer of further help. Thank you! Simon

I really appreciate your reply, Mr Edwards. Thank you! I was beginning to think that I had been 'duped', for one of a better word! I bought the above unit, together with a stand, a 69cm x 50cm double-diffused softbox, radio trigger and mains lead, all in a carry-bag for £125. Do you think...

Thank you Hugh! Garry Edwards was my first thought but I did not think that I could pm him to look at this thread. Thanks again. Simon
