I have a Canon EOS40D so it is a cropped sensor, I have offered him £500 cash on the back of this good advice!! I will obviously pay more subject to test but you have to start somewhere I guess. Thanks for the very valuable advice so far. Pete IOW

Is the Canon 24-105 f4 L USM IS Lens a good all rounder? Reason I am asking is that a work colleague is selling one for £650 or very near offer...I reckon he will let it go for £600 but have no prior knowledge of the lens.. any info gratefully received. Thank you. Pete IOW

Thanks for the advice/answers chaps/chappeses They are very helpful, my main concern is that the drive is not now seen as a "removable drive" and so it can't be safely removed from the properties options if you see what I mean? I have no problem with the nfts side of things in fact I think I...

Hi all, Today I purchased a western digital passport drive 320GB to archive my photos and , as there is loads of room, back up my hard drive (c) so I used a programme called casper to achieve the backup however this programme has formatted the western digital drive to nfts and it now shows up as...

I dont disagree with that corny but it all adds up to the total price would you not agree?

You say its not the government ??? The ships that land in the ports of the UK owned by whatever company (associated british ports ect) have to pay landing fees, re fuel with british fuel, in turn the ports have to pay government taxes and fees to operate then the products are put on to trucks...

My daughter went into Jessops to get her passport photographs today and that cost £7 !!! I had mine done last month and it cost £6... I asked why the above inflation rise and they said you now get 6 photographs instead of 4!! Who needs 6 photos? I think Jessops marketing people need to look at...

The River Humber? Never heard of them!!

I used fixation and can highly recommend them, I got my sensor cleaned under warranty and they did a sterling job and it took less than a week from me sending it to it being returned to the Isle Of Wight , 100%:clap:

Well I would have named the company so that others may be able to check if they have had the same problem and then we could have worked out if they did this occasionally of habitually ...one person here has had the same problem with, who they are guessing, is the same supplier but that is a...

Why Is there no actual mention of the suppliers name? They may have made a genuine mistake but it seems as though they are being protected from exposure(no pun intended!) by glitch and I can see no purpose in this, so who is it that sent you the right box but wrong item....I know from your...

Thank you for the great advice (as usual!) I have ordered the Western Digital 250GB Passport Essential 2.5" Hard Drive from PC world just under 60 quid delivered...spot on , It,s sad that Jessops will not compete with these prices though. Thanks again for the help Pete.

Could someone please recommend a good reliable portable hard drive. Minimum size 160GB but preferably more, Jessops do one for £78 seagate passport I think, but other retailers do the same one for much less, this is a shame because I have a £50 gift voucher from jessops and would have bought one...
