    Which review on DSLRs

    I subscribed to Which? many moons ago. Began to notice that their particular "review" results were the polar opposite of about 99% of other similar magazines/websites etc. whether its Cameras or Mountain Bikes they had baffling results. I think Which? like to see themselves as the pre-eminent...

    Finally ordered my lens...

Up to now I see nothing that worries me ( Using a...

    As a "Voice" I'd say John Shrapnel As a "Face" then probably Nick Baker.

We went...

    DIY renewables

    Jane would be very interested to know their response. I considered PV tiles too for a proposed extension and the aspect was more or less South west. but there were neighbours nearby and I was'nt sure if there would be problems. In the end the extension costs alone became too prohibitive. Do...

    DIY renewables

    Yes I was a bit too vague there.... I think i mean "Off Grid" as in combining Wind/Solar and some sort of battery storage for low periods ( i.e no wind and little sun) I suppose its all down to the up front costs really to achieve such a dream.... Oh the irony of having to spend a small...

    Who has the best bird song ?

    Well, woke up at 5:30 this morning to the joint sounds of my 3 month old son and a Blackbird in the garden !!! So in the context of a warm summer morning in England, then there's something just right about a Blackbirds song. not as exotic as some mentioned but gets my vote every year !!!!

    Bigger, Brighter, But What?

    Only option I can think of is the Sigma 300-800 a.k.a Sigmonster ! No personal knowledge of the lens but there are a few forum members who have this lens and could probably share their experiences Its big though, and not too cheap either !

    New Canon Rebates ( Europe )

    Nope.. nothing in the post either, Strange as it seemed perfectly acceptable to request a booklet. You would think Canon would send one out promptly, lets face it you can only buy Canon stuff with the vouchers which is what they want !!!! Any way I've got a good deal coming up on a Sigma...

    New Canon Rebates ( Europe )

    I suppose thats possible, however I would imagine the only way Canon know if you have bought a 30d is if you send the guarantee card off ? I'll let you know if a voucher booklet turns up or not, says on the web page about 10 days here's hoping as I have my eye on a 300 f4L IS !!!!!!!! Cheers

    New Canon Rebates ( Europe )
