Been using Eset for almost 2 years now, does not use much of the system resources but does the job brilliantly, not that expensive, I think a 3 pc license cost about £45 recomended :thumbs: alwyn

have a look at :_ http://www.warehouse-video.co.uk/ I ordered a white cameo single dvd case, seems quite good quality for the price, and was delivered quickly. Alwyn

try disconecting the power switch, and either change the wires from the reset swith to power the pc, or if you are confident just touch the power connectors on the motherboard with something like a screwdriver to see if it boots, (be carefull that you do not short anything else though) I once...

If you want to lock the mirror up before taking the shot, to prevent camera shake, can't you compose and focus the shot through the viewfinder, then activate Live View, the mirror should then be "up" while you take the shot. This is how I use mirror lock on my 40D, I assume Nikon has a similar...

I use a 2400 with the fotospeed system, the only time i have to clean the nozzles is if I have not used it for a couple of weeks. Do you print with the printer "open", the plastic flap that covers the ink cartridges open or closed ? I had the same problem a few months ago, eventually found...

I was " on the fence" as to whether a fast lens was better than IS, until last thursday, when I was asked to shoot a tv company recording a concert, underground, in a slate mine. No flash allowed on the set and very little available light. I took 3 lenses, a 50 1.4, 24-105 is,70-200 2.8 is...

:D yes, after a lot of "googling", there I have found that Nikon have their problems as well. I have decided to try to get the money together for a upgrade by focus on imaging in february, by then I hope that all the various problems will have been resolved. I do feel a little peeved at...

Are you sure its the lens ?, I have both the 120-300 sigma, and 70-200 canon, when shooting motorsport, I get the same "fuzziness", with both, on my 40d. If I shoot a burst of 4 shots at a bike or car, most of the time one or two of them are slightly out of focus, (I have tried with both...

Another vote for the 24-105 is, a cracking all round lens, only comes off my 40d when I need longer, (70-200 f2.8 is), or wider, (sigma 10-20). The is on the 24-105 works extremely well. Alwyn

Auto iso is very useful in some situations. I photograph a few motorcycle events, trials and enduro's, that are often held in woodland, the light can change a lot from a bike going through a clearing, to one on a dark track overgrown with trees, During the event I walk around the course, as I...

I can't help you with the 17-55, but you will need 77mm filters for the 70 - 200 2.8is Alwyn
