Just gently asking. Is someone pulling a few legs here?
NO! See my other replie's. :bang:

To the o.p. Even your local pound shop will sell sd card readers saving the need for tijuana taxi to post your cable.
This is a link to gimp a free image editing tool that you can download

Seriously think you lot have been had, read the OP's other threads she has started, bizarre.
I have to agree
Louise, really just ignore some of the thoughtless comments here. Those people who are helping you are the only ones you need to listen too.
Many cameras will connect to your PC with a standard USB to mini-USB lead. You might already have one for other things such as a Sat-Nav, smart phone or a portable hard drive. Once the camera is connected to your PC and turned on, wait a few seconds and your PC should see it as an external hard drive. Open the drive and copy the images to your PC.
I like the Dummies books as they give very clear and helpful hints and tips on each page.
The best thing to do Louise is just get out and play with your camera. Landscapes are normally the best place to start. There are many interesting locations in the UK. For example, Salisbury, a brief history, has many fantastic locations.
So if I get a USB lead off Amazon and I plug it in, it should work without the need for a CD or anything?
Salisbury is indeed a historic place. Having just read the Pillers of the earth by Ken Folett, I am curiouse about the building of cathedrals and how it was done.
To be honest with you Louise, I think the guy that is taking money from you every time you want your pictures on a disc, needs to have a word with himself, and his conscience.
If you don't get sorted with a cable or card reader, the next time you go in, get him to show you what you need to do it yourself.
I like Cornwall and South Devon
In that case I have just the link

There are some quite nice pictures there as well
It was castle cameras, but what I might do is ask if they sell a usb lead for my camera.
What should the size of them be for posting on here please?
You can get a card reader for a couple of quid on ebay or even in tesco's - you then plug that into the USB slot on your computer and stick the card out the camera in it
then when you go to 'my computer' it will appears as a drive and you can open the images in viewer and or copy them to your hard drive.
To get them up on here you will need some software to resize them, if your computer came with paint you can use that - if not download something like Gimp or Irfanview for free.
once they arev resized you can upload them to your TP gallery and link them in a post (there are guides on how in the tutorial section)
And in answer to your original question , no i don't think you should give up - everybody takes crap shots from time to time (even pros) and is usual to have a lower keeper ratio when you are starting out.
You should see some of the crap I produce with a 5D MK3 and 24-105L lens....quite shocking
now you should give up - if you send the 5D to me i'll dispose of it for you no extra charge
Does the camera have internal memory or a card you can remove?
If a card, buy a card reader. It will be much faster and also allow you to use it when or if you change camera.
If the bloke has been charging you 3 quid a time to transfer your images without suggesting this, I wouldn't want to have any further dealings with them.
Hi Guys
It's got a card I can remove. So I'll go for the card reader, I'm surprised Castle Cameras didn't mention one.
Bye for now.
When you and the other guys get a chance you might want to check out the other good locations below.

He should hang his head in shame:thumbsdown:
Keep us posted on how it goes regarding getting your pics onto the computer
Why, they may not know it isn't for archive purposes. If someone came in with a card and asked me to put on a disc I would do what they asked. :shrug:
It's a business, they're there to make money not supply free advice, how does he know the pictures aren't so she can post them to a relative in Australia etc
Beware, they (not she! ) have contacted the Moderators.with all due respect to all this, is a long thread for a card reader and someone who feels sorry for themselves...................
You might even be a Troller!We have contacted the moderator as I didn't know what else to do. ...
OK, OK, shoot me. :| but that sounds like a right troll right there.... it's sad there are some nasty individuals out there who sit behind their keyboards abusing people knowing they will get away with it. I think their called 'Trollers?'
At the mo (sad that it is) I go to Castle Cameras and they charge me £3 to put the pictures on a disk. I then put them on my hard drive and correct them if I can.
