Yes, try to get one that you enjoy handling and all the buttons make sense. Here is a tip given to my daughter by her work mate who is also keen on photography :- Go to a camera shop and ask an...

Any and all dslr cameras built in the last 2/3 years will take fantastic photos, none is better or worse than any other. All, yes all brands will have more than sufficient upgrade paths to keep you...

Pentax K5 + Sigma 150-500 is OK and perhaps within budget, www.pentaxforumsdotcom/forums/pentax-k-5/215441-k-5-sigma-50-500-os.html Just change -dot- with a -.-

Look for Mike Browne on YouTube. He is superb and very easy to understand. You can also book in for one to one courses with him.

After 2 years of using your Canon EOS 1000D you should have sufficient experience and knowledge to make your own decisions. Please don`t think I am being hard, but remember all, yes all modern...

Well they do help take the mind of LBA, but only for a minute or two.

All of them, Sony - Canon - Pentax - Nikon, I never see any comments that long term one of them will let me down or will be less useful.  Heck I let my assistant use an old Pentax K100d and the...

Thanks Tom, boy they taste real good. We have not had cream horns for a long time.

Well spotted Tan, Nina`s hands do the gentle work, I just do the rough and ready bit.

This is good therapy for LBA   I`m told. Mix together flour, lard and butter. Add a splash of water. Roll out the dough. Cut into strips. Wrap around the cones and place on tray Bake Fill...

It only takes a moment to write `Thank you` If a question asker cannot do that, they have a problem and I for one do not offer assistance again to them. Excuses like something cropped up or they...

Cheshire cat - tree - crossroads - grin !    Is the OP named Alice ?

Have a look at the Pentax K5. They have now been superseded by the K5II (s) and are well down in price and in your price range. Must shoot well in low-light (either a fast lens, or nice ISO...

Tamron in my opinion. Re the focus speed, sometimes you can pre-focus but others you can manual focus, f2.8 gives a fairly bright image in viewfinder. However, you will probably find autofocus...

Yes, there is so much to agree with in your post. But remember, the O/P makes the comment about the flatness of the baby without, I suspect, understanding why the baby looks flat. The video I...

This is a very interesting thread with lots of sensible input. However I get the impression that you are not too sure of the basics of photography, particularly lens focal length and what it does. ...

Hi Mac, Weather sealing is a big bonus, I trust you have weather sealed lenses. re. K20d, I owned one for two years, loved it and it earned me good money.  Built like a tank, big, ergonomics spot...

Hi Michele, You are on the same wavelength as me. I have tried an old Minolta 1.7 50mm with only limited success, However I will follow your thread with interest.

That limit of 210mm ireally puts me of the NEX6. I believe that Rokinon do a 400mm mirror lens but I doubt the image quality will be very good. All in all to do animal photography, particularly...
