  1. Hi,

     

    I was wondering if any one has had experiences of driving from Stavanger To Bergen.

    I was looking at travelling the E39 with a car and Caravan in July and want to

    know if is this feasible and what the ferrys are like in regard to taking a

    caravan on them and the rough prices involved.

     

    Thanks

  2. The package lens is a realitivly inexpensive one but does a fairly good job and in most subjects you will not notice any difference between it and a more expensive counterpart.

     

    You get what you pay for, you are not getting an IS or L range lense in the bundle

  3. Take Care

     

    There is a Sensor Clean option on the advanced menu ( to access this put the camera into an advanced mode (eg TV) this locks the mirror in the UP position exposing the sensor, i find it best to use something like a Rocket blower (Do Not Use compressed air)and if that doesn't work a very soft swab. The last thing you want to do is scratch the sensor.

    I have a 20D and on average find that i need too clean the sensor every couple of months.

    Dust is dust and it will get in

     

    Hope this helps

  4. Hi Todd, as you are renting a lens try and go for one with a decent app. as you will find that the subjects will be in motion and a good appateur will help.

    Also what camera are you intending to use it on, if digital remember the lens multiplication.

    You should also look what ISO you will be using to get the best from fast shooting.

    A monopod would be of great use and dependant on the lens (eg a Canon IS)there may be a lens mount

  5. Hi Katha,

     

    Having never felt the urge to go and buy a camcorder, (for which i know i would never have the time to watch everthing over again) I have been thankful for the video mode on my Fuji 602Z.

     

    To caputre special moments with my children is priceless.

     

    No I would still never watch a full length feature video but having a small clip (normally under 2 mins)I find it great.

     

    But as for anything serious with it ...... forget it, but fot the memories stored on my PC........Priceless

     

    It's what you use of a feature that makes it worth it (but it's only you that choose to do so)
