Thanks all, I wasn't tracking the H1 but will check it out. For similar prices, are there other cameras I should be considering? For an amateur like me, is it worth moving to mirrorless and will they stand up to the test of time in a few years to come?

Hi All, I am looking to invest in a new camera, and am leaning towards mirrorless. From what I have read, mirrorless is the way forward. I will be using it for product photography, a little bit of video work (my partner records How-To videos in conjunction with her business) and general nature...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I wasn't expecting to open such a minefield, haha. I still have all 3 lenses from my previous setup, althought he Sigma "sticks", so really I am down to two. I will look to do a little more research and lean toward a macro lens.

Thanks droj for the response. I already have a basic light tent. I also understand that it isn't just about the kit, I will have a journey to learn how to use the equipment properly etc. At this point, I've rather invest more into the camera body and a lens, and then continue to save until a...

Hi All, After many years of being away from the forum, I've finally returned. Over a decade ago, you very helpfully pointed me toward my first DSLR. A Canon EOS 20D. I loved the camera and built up a collection of lenses. I went on Safari, trips around the UK and thoroughly enjoyed taking...

Thanks all! I think I'll look at selling my 20D with 18-55mm lens. I I have a 70-300mm Canon lens which I'll keep. And my sigma 24-70 unforunfortun has failed on me, so I think that will be getting recycled! Thanks for the advice. The pictures are fine from my Canon, just not crystal clear...

Hi all, I purchased a Canon EOS 20D arouar 14 years ago. It has certainly been well used, and very well looked after. After being in the cupboard for around 5 years, I've been using it over the last few months. It has a Sigma 24-70mm lens, which is 'stuck' and doesntd focus anymore. The...

Thanks all for the reply. I've decided to get my lens fixed, but keep the camera as it is. The EOS 20D is now 14 years old (I can't believe I purchased mine nearly 13 years ago!!). However, once I've brushed the cobwebs and got my lens sorted, I'll see how I get on and maybe treat myself to a...

I'm from Haha, I was asking for that wasn't I! I live in Norfolk.

Hi all, I have a Canon EOS 20D and a number of lenses. However, one of the lenses I liked to use a lot is the Sigma 24-70. However, it seems to have stopped working! The camera has not been used in a couple of years, and I feel it will be in need of a service. However, can anyone recommend...

Hi All, I know there are a lot of threads out discussing the best photo filing systems etc, but my question is slightly different as I am looking for a particular feature. Hopefully someone here will have a solution :-) I'm using Picasa to file my photos. I can tag my keyword and it seems...

Facebook allows me to tag someone... then shows me a list of other untagged photos in my albums that resemble the same person... A lot of them are actually that person, so the software is out there... but where?!

Thank you for all the help, I've been receiving some really useful advice and making plenty of enquiries. I do have a simple question... regarding sizes. I have a number of cropped images which I have edited and would also like to sell. Do the ratios need to be accurate? For example, If I...

Thanks, that is just what I was looking for! I've hit a bit of a situation though. My original plan was have a gallery displaying all of my images, then a store displaying the selected prints I want to sell. If you saw a site with a gallery and a store, would you feel it was a bit of...

Thank you for the response. The reason I was initially against order from a printer and having them sent to me is because it doubles on shipping costs, however - your point of checking the print is a very valid one.. I may even invest in some business cards to add that little touch of...
