The one Lee suggests would seem fine for what you need, although anything by Manfrotto is usually pretty darn good. If you intend to work in windy conditions (i.e. on the coast or on motorway bridges in winter!) it may be worth checking you can hang a rucksack from whichever you choose, makes it...

Flickr is great, iirc you get monthly upload limits with a standard free account though.

As I said, depends what type of shots he is after, with virtually any moving object you can still do a relatively fast pan (i.e. 1/320) and get the majority of the object frozen but still with a nice hint of movement (such as in the wheels). This, for example, was taken at 1/250. By my...

There are about 4 versions of the 80-200, all have essentially the same glass but the auto-focus design is a bit different on each. Apart from that they are all ridiculously sharp and pretty much look the same. If your one didn't auto-focus on the D40 then it will probably be the AF-D version...

Tough one, In short, freezing action is extremely hard unless you pay for a very fast lens (f2.8 will cover pretty much any conditions), however, if you will mainly be panning and having plenty of motion etc in your shots then the lens is almost irrelevant as your technique will achieve 90%...

The Blue Vee had a for sale sign on it, £17,500 iirc.

Sweet, are these exactly the same ones? They did a demo at Castle Combe this year, awesome machines...

Apple are releasing the SDK to developers for the iPhone and iPod Touch at the beginning of February apparently, so by March I imagine we will be seeing many of the apps available via the jailbreak without having to actually jailbreak.

On the summary screen under Options... - Sync only checked songs and videos (I have this unticked) - Manually manage music and videos (I have this ticked) Then under the various tabs (music, podcasts etc) I have the main sync buttons unchecked. All working perfectly here, it only...

I set mine up today and it hasn't once automatically synched anything (which is good, as I wanted to choose which tracks to copy), everything on my iPod I've moved manually (album by album, mainly). There must be a setting to stop it synching, as I clearly have that button checked! I have two...

Is there any way to use US iTunes? Seems to be so much more content (i.e. movies, which we just have a placeholder for), I guess they don't allow it though. As for video podcasts, I've just got the two National Geographic ones so far (Video Shorts and Wild Chronicles) and also AlloCine for...

Cheers for the info, hopefully something will appear one day.

Sounds easy ;) Mine arrived this morning, amazing. I prepped iTunes yesterday with all the music/photos/podcasts/videos I wanted on it, plugged it in this morning and 15 minutes later it was all on my iPod and good to go. So easy and the touch screen is absolute genius. Downloaded loads of...

I'm thinking more of when I'm out at a racing circuit or on holiday and I want to back up my pics. I currently have a 40GB Epson Picture Viewer but if there is an SD adaptor for the Touch then I can sell that on.

Any good case suggestions whilst we're here? I want something but there is a lot of crap out there.

It's actually three 4.6mp sensors each capturing different colour, the colours it captures are amazing and the reviews I've read have been pretty good. Lacking in some areas (bit slow for motorsport, buffer fills quickly and write times aren't great) but an absolute steal at £299 to be...

Ordered my 16GB from Amazon and it shipped by Special Delivery today, can't say I noticed them being hard to get hold of, only reason I didn't buy it in the shops was that it's about £40 more expensive!

Got one of these bad boys as well, is there anything available so you can transfer photos directly to it from an SD card?

Cheers for the info. Just added all the exact same components into my cart on ebuyer and it actually came to the same price before I had even added the PSU to my cart. So to get it built and ready to go for less than I could have bought it myself seems pretty good.

Samsung NV10 is pretty sweet, amazing menu system. 10mp+ on a compact isn't going to be much use, will probably do more harm than good (noisy pictures), aim for 6-8mp, you will never need more than that. Avoid Digital Zoom like the plague (optical zoom = good, digital zoom = bad) As a...

I'm ordering the second week of January as I have some time off, so will see if anything changes then. Yes I did get the link from your post thanks, been Googling 'PC Base Unit' and many variations for days and couldn't find anything decent, and then your link pops up! Cheers.

I chose AMD because that's all I've ever used, and I couldn't spec a similar Intel machine for less than about £700 with the same GPU. If I go with Vista instead do I want 32bit or 64bit? I have no idea what the difference is.

How does this look? I don't need a monitor, I don't want Vista, I have a spare £500GB HD to slot in and my absolute maximum is £600 to spend... From http://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk CASE: NZXT Lexa Blackline Performance Mid Tower Steel 420W Case w/Red LED Light CPU: (Socket AM2) AMD...

I'm not selling the Sigma, it's just too good when I do have a need for it. Flashguns sounds like a plan, would at least give me some good experience of working with artificial light.

This mortgage business isn't as much of a squeeze as I expected, so obviously I'm looking where to spend my money, I love my D50 to bits and the recent calendars/big prints etc haven't shown up the modest pixel count, so don't feel that upgrading that is the right way forward just now, I have...

Do you not get weird/concerned looks when you get your camera out and get down near the floor at a Tesco filling station?! Cars looks sweet anyway mate, I feel a New Year photoshoot coming on in the future...?

Those are superb mate, nice and sharp. What equipment you using?

Here you go... Your photoshoot DVD was posted today as well :)

One of my favourite pics mate, had to be in there :)

Nikon D50 and the following lens: Sigma 10-20 Nikon 50mm 1.8 Nikon 80-200 AF-S 2.8 6MP ftw ;)
