Play.com own brand are made by Toshiba. A 4gb Class 6 SDHC is only £9.99 - I use them in my D90 and find them very good. Nikon recommend Toshiba.

Danbroad: thank you for your very helpful reply. I am a relative newby to "serious" photography and do not own any Nikon gear. I have looked at the photozene and Rockwell web sites and found them useful. Thanks again. :)

I am about to change from an Olympus E500 twin lens kit to a Nikon D90. This comes with a new 18-105 as a kit £150 extra alternative, but I am wondering whether I should buy the body and invest in: Nikon 18-70 f3.5-4.5 (£165-£170) or Nikon 18-55 f3.5-5.6 VR (about the same price) or ...

Freecom. UK based customer support and an actual telephone number! No need for me to phone them yet, as mine is working fine. Best Buy in some computer mags.

I've had an ip5200 (predecessor of the ip5300, but essentially the same) for two years and love it. No problems and superb photos with Canon paper and inks (Valeshop by far the best prices). If you can find an ip5200, go for that for the extra inks. Otherwise, you won't be disappointed.

Interesting test of the current systems employed by the various manufacturers (wot, no Nikon?): http://pixinfo.com/en/articles/ccd-dust-removal/ :rules:

Egods! Who are all these people who need umpteen channels (mostly crap) and have no life other than in front of the t.v.? Freeview has more than enough for us. :bonk:

And so they should: we all know that people who drive red cars are dangerous psychopaths. :bang:

Yes, I'm a car driver, but disassociate myself from the perpetual "us poor motorists" whingers. I am no fan of the Westminster government, but will support any reasonable move to reduce motorised traffic use, providing any revenue raised is ring-fenced to help fight global warming. Come on, we...

Ditto, this guy's spelling alone makes me suspicious!

I have happily used Kood filters: UK made and at least as good as Cokin. http://www.koodinternational.com/
