    N95 (camera) and a day at the zoo.

    Do you mean the blue tinge on the bits where the sky meets the scenery? If so that would be chromatic aberration (purple fringing) and unless they start putting some bigger optics on these phones (i.e. turn them into cameras) it's never going to be great, I've got a £350 lens that still gets has...

    Castle Combe Action Day - (Mainly) Clio's on Track

    Top pics Rich, always enjoy seeing yours from Combe, always a bit different from most I see. Most of them are pin sharp, 1/250?

    10 cars drag racing video...

    Nutters. I forgot that place getsa little bit dusty on a hot day! Drag racing seems to inflict the most damage, rarely see stonechips etc from the actual timed circuit runs.

    Cliosport @ the Castle Combe Action Day - 21/04/07

    He's a regular at Combe, top guy. Just does it for fun but his equipment his pro-level, very expensive stuff. Always happy to help with camera stuff, just give me a shout.

    SLR camera's

    Best camera would be the one with the best handling for you. When I was looking to buy it was 350D vs. D50. After hours of reading up I finally held a 350D and hated it, just couldn't get it comfortable in my hands at all. Obviously it may well be the other way round for you. Canon glass...

    Cliosport @ the Castle Combe Action Day - 21/04/07

    I was in Venice taking pictures for Olympus, it's a hard life :) Still gutted though, would love to have been there to catch up with everybody.

    Airfield Day 22/04/07 Pics

    Nice pics. Looks like a good day, bit gutted I had to miss out. Reading through it sounds like you had a mass drag race at the end?!

    197 R27 - Info?

    On a serious note, could we see Renaultsport dropping the F1 link now that it's 99.9% certain they won't be winning the constructors or drivers championship this year? It made sense when they were the best due to the publicity and exposure, but that's not exactly the case anymore. I just...

    PH-Quick pricing.....

    Sunflower and Flame Red are pretty rare, that's why the values are a little higher. Saying that though bargains do come up from less knowing types, a Red one went locally pretty cheap recently. On Autotrader there is a 60k Silver for £3995 in Newbury, an Exclusive with 65k for £4000 in...

    Most Economical Speed?????..........

    I got 45mpg+ cruising at 70mph from Westbury to Pembroke last year, in the Cup with it stripped out, but obviously no cruise control. As long as keep a good distance from other cars and therefore aren't accelerating/braking all the time it's pretty easy to get some high mpg figures without...

    New Wii browser

    Some nice improvements over the beta, fonts are waaaay better at all zoom levels, it's now borderless, scrolling and zooming is massively improved and it starts up much quicker. Just make sure you update by June, the full version is free until then.

    Trophy near Tower Bridge, London

    Walking along the Thames today and I spotted a Trophy with plate ending 'OUW' parked up just along from Tower Bridge in a small car park full of some very nice cars. I'm guessing it was an office car park, anyone here?

    PS3 Sales plummet

    Unfortunately for Sony revenue doesn't mean a great deal, profits will be non-existent until they start shifting a serious amount of software. Nintendo turn a mean profit on the Wii and DS consoles as well as the software (and not to mention the ridiculous number of Virtual Console games...

    PS3 Sales plummet

    Wii stocks have finally started surfacing, pretty much sold out again though apparently, so some slightly more meaningful figures this week, at least as far as Wii/PS3 is concerned, although the 360 is going pretty darn nicely as well... Week prior to Easter, UK sales: Wii: 25,000 PS3...

    Were BMW Williams F1 not sponsored by HP last season? Maybe he is trying to F1-ify his car, like Renault ;)

    Burning Bournemouth. 08/04/07.(56k no go)

    Looks like it's worth a trip of an evening for some photos, are they any others lined up this year?

    Burning Bournemouth. 08/04/07.(56k no go)

    Cool pics, where is that? Did the green/black wide-bodied Pug have 'A.DIMMA' as a rally name on the side window? Looks very much like one that does about 60mph past my office window everyday (in a busy residential 30 area)

    My car in a field + some track action...(no no 56k!)

    Cool, I've always wanted to go and see some Rallycross. Found some locations: http://www.rallycrossopen.com/calendar.php http://www.rallycrossuk.com/events.html Looks like Pembrey for me, not a sport followed in the South West clearly!

    Sold my 172 Cup.. :( but got this!!!!!

    So we've both moved from Cup's to red motors ;) I would swap mine for yours in an instant though! Will give you a wave when I next see you, will be good to see another Trophy locally, not many about apart from Jerrys. I'd be happy to meet up for a little photoshoot of your car at some point...

    EOS 5D + 24-105 L, Kit

    Yes, excellent in low light. My D50 happily operates at ISO800 with minimal noise, that combined with my 50mm 1.8 has never let me down even in some extremely dark buildings. Worth having a look here for thousands of samples... http://www.flickr.com/groups/canonef50mm/

    PS3 Sales plummet

    Depends where you are looking in the US I guess, but a quick search online shows that there doesn't seem to be any problems getting a PS3 anymore, unlike the Wii... http://forums.slickdeals.net/archive/index.php/t-473042.html...

    Cup 07 LOOKING GOOD

    Great vid, looks rapido, and what a sound! Could get a little tiresome on the motorway, but I would be tempted to rip out every bit of sound-deadening!

    EOS 5D + 24-105 L, Kit

    That's the one. You can probably save yourself at least £20-30 on that price though if you have a good look around. It's £69 at Bristol Cameras for example. BluePete made me buy mine (Nikon, but virtually identical apparently), very pleased I did. Here is a sample from my 6MP camera handheld...
