Thank you all for the replies. I am still left wanting to know what the major differences are between elements and lightroom? Does anyone know please? My mother does want to buy it and I know my dad...

Also, what then is the difference between elements and lightroom in terms of cost and functionality? Is lightroom a good compromise/more bang for your buck?

Thank you all for taking time to reply, I appreciate it. He is using Windows. He is OK in terms of computer literacy (probably as good as any "young" person ;-), better with some programmes). I thing...

Hi all. It is my fathers birthday coming up and my mother is looking for some imaging editing software for him. He has a Nikon D5000 and is a relative beginner with photography. The photos he takes...

Hi, yes it is. You really dont have to do that, I was just interested to know if anyone has any prior experience of the place. Thank you though!

Hi all. I was wondering if anyone has been to cumberland bird sanctuary in Bryanston. If so, I would like information on access to it (i.e. is it always open etc), safety and any other useful tips....

Hi all. Firstly, complements of the season. I'm sorry in advance, as I'm sure this question is in the wrong place, but I dont know where else to post it. Im looking at getting a spotting scope for...

Hi all again. Sorry Im posting again so soon. I am going to the ATKV resort called Drakensville in December. Looking on google maps I see its relatively close to Sterkfontein and Natal Drakensburg...

Oh also by the way, when the sun did break through the clouds, it wasnt a problem in most of the hides (sidelighting). I didnt go to all of them though.

Thank you both for the comments. I went this afternoon, became a bit too cloudy by the time I got there so didnt do much photography, just birding (nothing wrong with that though!). Indeed the roads...

Hi all. Contemplating going to Marievale. I have never been there before. Just want to check a couple of things before I do. If someone has been there recently can you please help me with these...

Sure Chris sorry :-) For some reason when I combine the two programs it works out. I crop using the canon Digital Photo Professional and then resize any photo I want to post or email using the Office...

Thanks for the reply Gavin.

I have found a solution.

Thank you.

Hi all. I am getting really frustrated with this situation. When I try crop photos, the cropped photo seems to be automatically sharpened and saturated, often to a point that the photo looks...

I am no expert (otherwise I would not have posted my question to begin with :-)) but I had a D5000. As far as I understand, it is not the DPI which affects the "size" of the image, but the pixel...

Ok thanks I see. Im so far from that point its scary so I wont worry then:-)
Thanks for your time and explanation.

Hi all. Hope someone can help me learn and figure out what is going on.

I had a Nikon D5000 (12MP) and when set on large/fine, took photos that when I opened properties said the dpi was 300. Now...

:-). You know what? Ive been waiting and debating and researching this for about 8 months, all Im actually doing is procrastinating. Ive got the cash, Im going to get the prime. Thanks Morkel. By the...

Im a bit confused by this canon zoom lens, I know they had an older generation one and a newer generation one, and one is 70-300 and one is 75-300, maybe I am swopping around the two?? Sorry:-)

Hi all. Does everyone agree that a 300f4 non-is prime in excellent condition is still better than a new 75-300 IS when considering AF speed, image quality and potential for using a 1.4 x TC and...

Hi again. Leo I was told I will lose AF with the N 80-400 on the D5000? I have heard people say that IS/VR is useful when using slower shutter speeds, but when using ss >1/1000 (or so) is doesnt make...

Yes, my plan is to sell some stuff lying around, save a bit more to add to my current savings and trade in my current camera and lenses and then I should have enough to get a solid second hand canon...

Thank you all. I have chosen a course of action.

Firstly to Terry, the 550D and a 70-300 would be a little over 10k, the options I excluded at the end are between 15-20k. I hope you will now appreciate the difference.

Now to DaveK, thank you...
