    Olympus E500 telephoto lens

    Olympus lenses are f***ing expensive generally beside the two 'kit' lenses: http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/cat19.html So the Olympus ZUIKO DIGITAL 40-150mm 1:3.5-4.5 is probably the only choice on a budget, not sure what third party lenses work with the E system but Sigma/Tamron/Tokina may...

    iPod Touch

    eeeekk was tempted to sell my soul to apple for this but it weighs in at the same price as the iPhone (of course 35 a month on top but if you spend that much anyway..), which looks around the same size, why bother?

    shooting the moon

    Great shots! A bit of USM and its very sharp. Rhino172 - You need to shoot fully manual unless your camera has a spot meter as it will see lots of dark with a small bright blob and choose to expose for the dark and blow out the moon. Stopping the lens down to a higher f/number (f8 - f11) will...

    Just bought a Nikon D40 :D

    haha what he said /\ just bought my 5th!! Look out for a cheap 50 f/1.8 first though, will teach you so much about depth of field, shutter speeds, aperture, low light shooting and portraits..

    k850 or n95

    So they both take rather crap images viewed at 100% but which one is going to give you clearest images of your drunk mates in a club?

    flashes

    Stay off there or you'll have a 5D and 85L f/1.2 within 6 months!!! 430EX is more than sufficient to light up a room or even rallye car 10+ metres away doing a night stage... for example :clown:

    flashes

    430EX does me fine, unless you see yourself needing to use off camea flash using slaves etc or need weather sleaing then you don't really need the 580.

    canon / canon mount macro lenses

    The Canon tubes are way over priced, they have stronger clips etc but when your mounting a 50 f/1.8 on the end that weighs nothing its no biggy, at the end of the day its just air inside. The Kenko or Jessops ef-s tubes are fine and much better value per mm but fiddly, working distance is poor...

    Removing Paint

    So I've got a nice mark down one of my arches, 6 inches long and about 5mm to 10mm width, left by another car. It's been there some time and hard srubbing with a sponge does nothing, mission impossible? layer of t-cut and some wax?

    Canon or Nikon DSLR????

    The D40x is just a pixel increase as far as I know, just marketing, unless you plan on making large print its probably not worth it. The kit lens should cover your needs to a degree, my 18-55 is fairly wide and can get fairly close up. The choice of future lenses is endless with either system...

    Canon or Nikon DSLR????

    Hmmmm won't enter to deep into this one except to say, their both capable, look at what lenses you want in the future if any, try and have a play with both and AKAIK the Nikon only AF's with AF-S lenses... http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/ ftw.

    new camera, new to slrs

    The 70-200 F4L is stop of light faster and will focus quicker but maybe not enough reach, the 70-300 is probably the better option for now. Alternativly there is the Sigma 100-300 f4 and ultimately the Sigma 120-300 f/2.8 but fast long glass gets a tad expensive :clown: damn this hobbys...

    Shite Quality Camera Phone Pics - HELP

    ISO makes the sensor more sensitive to light but also reduces quality, you want to use 100 or less on a camera phone. Your phone won't have optical zoom (I doubt) so when you 'zoom' its just the camera cropping the original image so reducing quality...
