been after a digi slr for a while and upon stumbling into jessops newbury on bank hol monday I found an ex display d40 for £250 with full nikon 12 month waranty £50 off list and I got a polarising filter 1/2 price as well.
all in £298 for camera + 18-55 lends, 2gb fast memory card and a polarising filter.
having fun with the apature and exposure time settings using a 30s exposure time in a completley dark room then waving a lazer pen about gets some cool pics
I've seen a couple cheaper on flebay but looking at repair costs and non uk waranty issues I spent the extra £
real easy to use and I may be able to use some of my dads old nikon lends's
I'm gonna have a go at some outdoor pics at swindon on sunday and probably cml next wed.
I'll probably get the wench to get me a reasonable telephoto lends for xmas
one question though how do I get starfield pics and does the polariser filter affect the light in low light situations?
I may do the lazer pen thing tonite on my newly rebuilt zx5 and pop the results up here whats the best pic hosting site prefrably free.
