First snow

Hello, this is my first proper new photo in ages!! Sorry for being away for so long. Just lack of time, lack of motivation and lack of access to Photoshop CS. Hopefully I’ll be able to get a few more done before my trial runs out in 12 days time.

This was taken in the fields near my house after a we got covered in snow (for the first time in years) in February 2009. We don’t get much snow here so I made the most of it and took lots of pics.

Which? digital SLR tests

The consumer assoication’s Which? magazine have tested the current crop of affordable digital SLR cameras. I trust their tests and opinions highly so the reults are:-

78% – Canon EOS 350D – yeah I see lots of people own one of these, best for picture quality + automatic mode
77% – Nikon D50 – A very close second, good LCD
73% – Canon EOS 30D
72% – Sony A100 – best zoom (27-105mm) + IS
69% – Nikon D70s
67% – Olympus E-330
67% – Pentax K10D – best for action shots (0.3 seconds)
66% – Nikon D40 0 best for beginners, gives warnings such as ‘subject too dark’ + access tips
66% – Nikon D80
65% – Pentax K100D
64% – Canon EOS 400D
63% – Samsung GX 1L
62% – Olympus E-400

The web site is a little more up to date and has included the Olympus E-500 at 73% (joint third).
