The trouble with F settings on compacts and bridge cameras is the sensor size is also much smaller than on most DSLRs. What does this mean? Well, a shot taken with a 200mm lens at 200mm at 2.8 on a DSLR, will give a fastish shutter speed and a nice depth of field with bags of bokeh (nice desired blurr). On a compact at 200mm at will not give the same DOF or bokeh.
Also, upping the ISO will half your shutter speed each time, but at a cost, increase in digital noise.
If you are going down a bridge camera route, try and take some test shots with one at Jessops first. You realy need to be happy with it's capability and not what you think its capability will be!
Hope this helps.
Have you checked out G N' R's Chinese Democracy?
Its the rock, but with a more "industrial" sound and some very impressive guitar sounds....
From what I gather it's a "Marmite" album. You either love it or hate it.
I for one Love it!!
Hi, I would check out this review first if I was you...
To be honest, if you are interested in animal photography you will find you outgrow the S2000 very very quickly, when you discover its limitations...
That will be £250 wasted. If I’m honest, I would really really really consider a DSLR. I have shot deer ect with my 70-200mm L2.8 lens with a x2 converter and even that was a struggle to get decent shots of real wild animals.
Honesty has to be the best policy, and with the DSLR you can always get better glass and faster glass as your hobby and shooting skills improve. With the S2000 you’re always stuck with that glass! And the glass and an eye for a good photo is what makes the difference, not megapixels or shooting modes, or other gimmicks...
Sorry for the ramble, but wouldn't want to splash out and be disappointed with the limitations of your camera in a few months time.

Check out Ephotozene
It is a web based magazine, cum forum, cum show case. Most people on there are friendly and helpful, and your dilema and question have been asked and answered 1000s of times before, so you should soon be able to pick up ideas and make informed descisions on your own. All the advice so far is bang on, but keep in mind the most important thing....
A good eye for a photo.
£1000s of kit, 600mm telephoto fast lenes and all the other stuff is just wasted money if you can't visualise a good shot. So stick within your budget, and master what ever kit you buy. You can always squeeze a good shot out of cheaper kit with some planning and a good eye...
Of course, if you have a good eye, the dearer kit will make that good shot even better LOL
Hope this has helped the confusion :P
Having seen the Steampunk PCs I just want one!!!! So cool and classy... Out comes the dremel, and bang goes the weekend! :shock:
Wow,
I have always held a fasination with this kind of style, ever since watching Tom Baker as Doctor Who, with his Victorian style Tardis consol room.
Some of the work on the web sites is stunning. Loved the R2 and the steam powered vibro!
Never knew this had a name, but then again i'm not supprised it has, as every thing has been labeled by now!!
Gonna check more out... thanks.
We had a go in Waterstones, who are the Sony UK Agent book shop.
As for turning the pages, again, it's no slower than a real book. Overall, she is very impressed with it.
Yes, Mrs Suffolk got one for xmas, and she loves it. She has read a full novel so far and it is still has a full battery charge, so it will easily last a few weeks before a charge is needed, and the screen is easy to read in any light as unlike a monitor or laptop, it is not backlit (so you would need a lamp or somethink to illuminate it at night!)
She got the Sony Ereader which is by far the best.
There is always a plan ;-)
First stop local barracks. Load up an 8 tonnie with weapons and ammo, water purification kits and hook up a genie on the back.
Next head out of town, somewhere semi remote, near woodlands with good soil. A farm should do it.
Next dump kit, set up defensive strong holds, then go back into towns and start to get food, fuel and tools.
Once the site can hold it's own for a short period of time, start scouting other areas looking for fit birds to recruit to my new world order, afterall, it will be our duty to start to repopulate the human race :-)
Haven't worked out what to do on day 2 yet.....
For a sneak peak....
Just hit play....
And unlike the blogger who was arrested for posting songs, this is G 'n' R's official web site.
Guns n Roses release their latest album, which has taken 14 years to write and produce!!!
Axl's back baby ! :thrilled: :thrilled: :thrilled:
From what I gather, it's more "illusions" than "appetite".
Even Rolling Stone have bigged it up....
14 years in the making..... Only 3 day's to go....
I for one can't wait.......
And from the sneak peaks and people in the know, it's tipped to be worth the wait!!!!
(Mrs Suffolk is still in shock over that one)
:D
