    Buying second hand

    Dont be afraid of buying second hand, just be careful. Firstly, make sure you investigate the market - you will often find new costing little more than 2nd hand and occasionally costing less. 'Camera Price Buster' will give you a target price for U.K. suppliers however 'grey imports' from U.K...

    Canon 7D transfer speeds & CF cards

    I've asked a similar question on both this and the Canon forums. Simple answer is - no one is sure, i've received lots of response but no definitive answer. The 7D is UDMA compatible which would suggest that the 45MB/s (300x) cards are used in setting the specifications for the camera and would...

    What Monitor

    The Asus seems to be a competent monitor. I use the 22" model at home however the picture quality is, in my opinion, not in the same league as the Dell I previously suggested. The Dell is however nearly twice the price. The 22" Asus I can recommend from personal experience and I have no doubt...

    Which one?!?!?!

    Had to make the same choice recently. It wasn't a neccessity, just a 'nice to have' and I couldn't justify spending over double for the Canon so purchased the Sigma. Very please I did, from reviews and tests, the Canon is the better lens however I dont think ,in use, I would be able to tell the...

    What Monitor

    Personally, a single, quality monitor, two take up a lot of space. I also think you only end up using the better monitor anyway. The Dell Ultrasharp 24" has good reviews at a reasonable price point.

    Colorvision Spyder - Which One?

    Hi. Spyder 3 Pro is good with W7, can't comment on Apple os. Morris Photographic seems cheapest currently - £85 + p&p although another thread says Jessops are selling it at £89 if there is one close to you.

    Memory buffer / CF card transfer

    Thanks William. I understand the buffer size cannot be increased and probably the 'write to buffer' speed is at maximum but cant find anywhere that states what the optimum card spec is. My experience is similar to your own, that there is a definite advantage with the faster cards however...

    Help! I can't focus

    Hi. Maybe talk to your optician about the amount of correction you need. There are correction eyepieces available and reasonably priced however I dont know if they include those for the D70. Regards

    Memory buffer / CF card transfer

    Hi. I have researched but can find no definitive information on the following so would appreciate any knowledgeable input. Can anyone advise the CF card specification that Canon use for testing the frame rates advertised for a 7D ? Assume that, say, a 60MB/s UDMA card is the standard...

    Will cs4 work with windows 7?

    As said ,yes, but I recommend you download from Adobe's site to ensure you have the latest updates rather than use your disc. Also remember, you need to remove the licence from your current set up before you upgrade to W7. (The licence allows you to run CS4 on 2 machines) Regards

    On line storage

    Sorry I did not make it clear. 'The issue with any back up is, you must back up' raid array or not Regards Sorry again, that sounds rude on re-reading, wasn't my intention. An array will offer protection against eqiupment failure but backup is required to prevent loss from, say, fire or...
