Hemel Saint

Hello Russian Saint. If I remember rightly did you come over to see a Saints game around 10 years ago (maybe even longer!!)? Sheffield Wednesday away game, if I remember correctly? Our support that day was brilliant. A Non-stop version of 'X & X, Red n White Army' went on for about 20mins... Do you remember what year, this was? ...anyway great to have you over, and well done on staying loyal to the Red n White from so far away... Cheers Hemel Saint

Like the One-off idea.... .....but then revert back to the badge we have had for the last 30+ years (I personally Love it!!).

I like the Panansonic Lumix DMC range. They have plenty of features and pre-set options. The back LCD screen is massive (3" diagonal). And most of all... a great Zoom Lens... x10 (from a wide 28mm) one down-side is no view-finder, you use the live-view on the LCD screen. Apart from that... a great camera. Bought one for the wife, very versatile to use when out and about, and you have not packed the DSLR...

Thanks... working for me too Cheers Hemel Saint

I think you have hit a bit of a nail-on-a-head. I have just moved from using nothing but the 'P' mode ...to trying all the 'untouched' settings on my SLR. Eventualy!! As its all new to me, its all a bit confusing, and I just need to practice more with all the different settings. The one area I have not played with yet is ISO. My next task, me thinks! Great find. And the "One last trick..." section is really good. Putting the left hand on shoulder really forms a rock solid apex. Just had a practice with my 300ml focal-length and used the Elbow technique, and playing with the ISO. Both elements have helped greatly. I shall practice loads more. Keep em tips coming. Thanks to you both, really helpful!

Hello All. Great idea to have this section on the Site. Anyway, slight variation to the opening question. I currently own a Canon 300d with two Tamron Zooms. In the last year or two, I have noticed that I am not able to control shake as much as I used to be able to (when not using a tripod). Maybe something about not being a spring chicken anymore!!! So I have been thinking about investing in some form of anti-shake thingy. The think that gets me is the price of lenses with I.S. installed. gulp!!! The question is... what do you guys think around scraping my current camera and start again with a SLR that has I.S. built into it, rather than lenses with I.S. This way, every lens I attach will have IS installed. The only two on the market are Pentax and Sony. What are the thoughts? is it worth upgrading to a kit that has options including Live-vue, Larger LCD, I.S.... etc? Any thoughts or advice gratefully received... many Thanks!
