You'll need a tripod for anything over about 1/10 really, unless you're amazingly steady. Night pictures will normally always be >1sec so tripod or solid rest and remote/2sec timer is needed to avoid shake !
Stupid question, but the light trails... are you doing this an hour or two after the sun has set, or during your lunch break ?
Batteries.. no idea, I use the Canon battery in my 7D. I used to have a Fuji Bridge, and don't remember how often it ate them. I used high powered rechargables...
Busting out the calculator can lead to depression.
Best throw it in the nearest bin.
Need a photoshoot soon... nice sunny evening perhaps, not tonight !!
www.camerapricebuster.co.uk will normally give you the best prices on cameras, lenses and accessories for the day.
Always worth a try on Amazon just incase they're not upto date.
Cheap doesn't normally come into play with D-SLRs !
Looks like £330 is the best with 10 seconds on google: http://www.onestop-digital.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=33644
What do you mean by 'best' for your money ? Everyone's got a different idea what best is .. a £1200 ph1 is no different to a £8k Trophy in terms of power / reliability / speed / handling. They're all French hatchbacks. It's not like you're comparing a 316i to an ///M3 for instance...
So boobs it is ?
Or what... come on guys, lets choose something fun !
I think light painting, as it involves skill with a camera but needs a bit of artistic flare too, with a good imagination obviously.
You don't need an expensive camera to get good shots. You just need to know what to do with it !
Practice, practise, practise !!!
Learn what changing the aperture and shutter speed do to the image. White balance makes a huge difference too.
Composition, and rule of thirds are important...
SRP isn't a polish flol!!!
AG glass polish will do. Fast glass will need a couple of goes to get rid of most traffic film.
Most importantly - Clean your blades .. failing that, change your blades.
Couple from me from the last couple of days:

4WD is defo better than FWD in the snow/ice. Not sure how I'd have got on without the Scoob last year TBH. My unmade hill of a road was just ice. Sash's Clio didn't go anywhere, neither did housemates //M. Scoob was unbothered by snow, slush, ice etc. Sideways on command too :D
Stopping...
^ Clios only put out 172PS (if they have that!) at ~6500 RPM. No weight over the front wheels !? Is your engine in the boot ?
Traction control is not needed in anything under 400HP+RWD, ever. Throttle control is much better.
Winter tyres work well under 7 degrees Celsius... They'll be shot before September if you buy them now or you'll have put the car in a hedge as they don't work when it's warm.
FLOL .. can of worms opened .. possibly thread no. 1,000,000 on the same subject ?
MotQ's .. LMFAO .. imagine how manly you'd feel with an ///M3
:evil:
I'm presuming you're saving up as you're not looking to buy one tomorrow..?
Factor in comedy insurance, servicing and things that might...
While I was writing the above essay, the following was proving my point:

Take your GF on holiday with the cash instead. :approve:
I am getting old. I'll openly admit that.
Generally, as proven on here most weeks, people take a smart looking standard car, and wreck it with tints, badly painted wheels, awful lights, bonnet lifters, slam it on its arse so it's un-drivable, and then wonder why they get ripped to shreds on...
