Wow, I didn't expect so many replies! Thanks so much everyone. I'm just off to properly digest each post thoroughly, but to answer a couple of questions I saw: Budget- £40, but could go over, and as an art student (I'm at Saint Martins), I have some good, cheap places for this sort of thing...

Hello all! I need your amazing knowledge in this area. I'm doing a show for my first BA Fine Art project, and I have an idea of what I want my final piece to be, but not the knowledge to do it, which sucks. Basically, I know from my limited experience in the darkroom that the paper used...

Brilliant, two very helpful posts there :) I've found some well priced, second hand 5d mk I bodies on various sites, so I'll probably place that at the top of my list. Also, I will make sure I confirm with my college that it is canon lenses they have!

Going to Central Saint Martins ^_^ What are people's thoughts on the 7d, btw?

Very helpful information there :) I'll weigh up the two and see if I can get my hands on the 5d to see how it 'feels'.

The 5d is getting a lot of support, so thanks for this suggestion. I'll take a look in classifieds as well! Thanks so much for all your help guys ^_^

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll also check those out :)

Thanks for the link, Foggy, it's a really good site! I must admit, I hadn't looked at the 5d much, so I'll check it out, and see if there are some second hand ones on Ebay. Yeah, that's what I was told, I don't need the speed of the D300. Ali, I'm pretty sure it's Canon they hire out :)

Thanks for the welcome :) Yeah, that seems to be the idea I've been getting from the reviews I've been reading today! If anyone has any other models they feel would suit me better than the two I mentioned, I'd be really interested.

I'm totally up for second hand, btw! £700-800 for body, probably :)

I'm aware it's really annoying when people come on here for the first time and ask 'Hey! Tell me what camera takes the best photozz' but I could really do with a bit of help here :)! I'm 17, and I'm starting an arts degree in September, but that means leaving behind the family DSLR, one I've...

Hey everyone! I've started trying to use the self-timer on my Olympus e-500, and it seems worse quality compared to ones not taken with the timer. It's on a tripod, so it's totally steady. I took a photo of a my sister without the timer, it was fine, good quality etc. She stayed in the...
