Thanks for the help guys, I ended up getting a second hand Sony DAV DZ330 5.1 surround sound which is brilliant

I was looking at the Harman Kardon Soundsticks which look quite good and have some great reviews

Hi all, Looking to get my dad a bit of a TV upgrade for his birthday. I have a sensible budget of £100 and want to upgrade the sound with a couple (probably 2) small speakers that I can place elsewhere in the room. It's not a massive livingroom and we don't really have the TV on loud, but I...

Any examples?

Anybody done this? I have a Nikon D5100 with a nifty fifty, 18-70 and 55-200mm lens. I fancy taking some pics of some old slides and saw a chap do this in his house once with a homemade lightbox. Any tips or past experience with this? He showed me pictures on his computer that he took from a...

I think the 100D would make a good holiday lens if I'm honest. Nice and compact, has all the features you would need from an Entry level DSLR

He only has 1 all purpose lens. More chance of him nicking mine!!

John, I just bought a Nikon D5100 last week 2nd hand (6 Months old) for £430. It came with a Nikon 17-70mm lens and a Nikon 50mm 1.8 lens. The first one has a slightly better zoom than the kit lens but is a nice piece of kit. The 50mm (nifty fifty) is absolutely fantastic if I'm honest!! When I...

Maybe some simple photo editing to bring out the colours a bit more?

This is weird.... I was planning on doing this tonight anyway! I shall be in

My dad has the 600D and it's a great camera... I'm about to buy a Nikon D5100 though I think! I have a budget of around £650 so im going to get a D5100 with kit lens, a 55mm 200mm, and a nifty fifty lens

JJ, can you give me your thoughts on the K5 if you have got it yet? I am looking at a number of Canons, Nikons and maybe the K5...

I am upping my budget now to £800 but this hasn't produced a clear winner for me!! Okay, the Nikon D5200 has become available but I really don't think I would benefit from the higher MP as I am not planning on printing large pictures. Also the Canon 650D is in the price range but I don't know...

Most other settings are pretty identical though aren't they? And in all honesty if im spending that amount on a camera (not much in DSLR terms I know), I want to have that piece of mind that I have bought it from a reputable seller

Yeah I was looking at the 600D or the Nikon D5100. Whichever one I pick i'm sure there will always be people to tell me that the other one is better etc etc. I suppose I just need to play around with a few

Guys, the age old question of wanting to buy a DSLR but not knowing what to get. Budget of around £400, looking at maybe a Canon 600D? My dad has one and it is great but i'm not really clued up on my camera knowledge. I am wanting to start taking some better pictures and don't know what I can...

I can imagine it to look good!

Nice swan pic there Bully

I ended up getting a Sony Vaio with an i5 processor... Thanks anyway!!

I am looking at getting a laptop and have a budget of £450. i use it mainly for web surfing, storing pictures, watching videos/films and the odd game. I also do a bit of photo editing but not much. i know I can afford an laptop with an i3 processor, but would you say it is definitely worth...

Fantastic shots at Betws Y Coed.... I recognized that bridge straight away :)

Heroes & Castles is a brilliant game

Hmmm I don't think her mum would be best pleased if I started drilling through into the ceiling!!! Aren't there any products like a wireless signal receiver or something that you can plug into the aerial and into the back of the TV with sort of like a 'Bluetooth' connectivity????

Okay i'm getting the other half a new TV for her bedroom. She already has a tiny one but never uses it due to the fact that she can't watch anything because the aerial is in the loft and she has no way of connecting it from her bedroom apparently. Now is there a way that I can connect the new...

All these kids and fashion conscious preppy types are the ones following the crowd with a pair of these slung round their neck for no good reason. They are a brand, and you can only buy them if you are wearing chino's and a buttoned up checkered shirt iirc. Get a decent pair for that amount -...

Like punching a bucket of sick

Hi guys, Just bought a Samsung WB700 and trying it out at the moment. I'm going on holiday soon where I will be using the camera a lot in the day as well as at night for parades and shows. Obviously there are 'auto settings' to take pictures depending on what the camera can sense, but I am after...

Not being funny but this could do with its own thread instead of clogging up the app thread.... Kind of annoying trying to look for new apps amongst 'Plague' talk

I think it's just for namesake.... Its more of a "I used to have a Sony and it was good so I want another. I used to have a Samsung and it broke so I don't want another" I do prefer the Canons, and the IXUS is my first choice. Ive replied to your PM JJ.

That IXUS 230 I had a good look at in Currys. Fantastic bit of kit, that's my top one so far but missus wants a Sony... Nobody mentions Sony that much, are they not supposed to be that good?
