Totally loving my Mk II. Using it all the time at the moment and can't see me getting bored of it as it's so easy to get good shots from it. Much more useful for me than my D60 was.

This is very topical up here just now (as you'd expect) and particularly at work as we've got our Christmas party next week. I'll be driving home the day after (130 miles) so I've chosen not to drink at all, even though it'll be 18hrs or so between the party and driving. The decision was made...

Ok, go easy on me as I'm a real Rookie photographer (as my 3 years trying to work my D60 will testify!) But here are two shots from my first day using the RX100. I bought this book which arrived today and seems very useful and easy to follow. Fingers crossed these work! My younger son (6 months...

Superb photos! :)

Sorry guys, I forgot to come back to this thread! I'm still sort of finding my way around on here and haven't been online at all over the weekend. Thanks for these tips. I downloaded the 30 day trial of Lightroom and think I'll be buying it once the trial runs out as it seems very good! I...

Hi folks. I'm a Rookie when it comes to editing photos that entails anything more than hitting "Rotate" or "Crop" and having spent ages last week adding a text box one by one to a bundle of photos I took at Motorcycle Live, I figured it was time to learn how to do some basic / intermediate...

Yeah, I read that somewhere so ordered one of these with the camera. I also went for the Lowepro Dashpoint 10 case to hopefully keep the camera in good nick from the start. I can see me ordering a grip too but I'll see how I get on with it first. Other than that I just want to get out there and...

Thanks man. :) I loved using the D60 and it really made me want to get out and take photos but I could never get the result that I was hoping for - pretty much always due to them being blurry. I spent a while trying to learn it but the size and bulk of the camera ultimately led to me leaving it...

I know I'm coming to this thread a wee bit late (to say the least!) but I'm about to enter RX100 II ownership today when my order arrives from Amazon later on. I've been keen on taking photos for a few years and ended up buying a D60 back in 2011 but could never feel happy with the shots I was...

I think I better phone them and chase it up. Mrs. P's auntie has leant me her copy til the weekend do I can read up on the homework task.

I've only recently joined the world of SLR photography and got myself a second hand Nikon D60 for a good price. It fits my hands better than the Canons I tried and I'm still really enjoying using it after 6 months even though I only have the kit lens. I'm still very much a beginner but getting...

I've not had any mag for weeks. The last one I got was module 3... Is module 4 out then? I've not received the mag or any emails on it. ?

Thanks again for the help. :)

If I'm honest I dont really have a specific focal length in mind. I based my query on the 50mm as they seem very popular and my mate's 50 was ace. By the sound of it a 35mm might be a good starter. If I get on well I can always get the 50 as well or sell the 35 and buy the new 50 later on.

Really appreciate the advice folks. I'll look into all these options. My mate had a 1.8 50mm on his Canon at a wedding over the weekend and the images were awesome. I need something like that!
