I don't use CF so don't know what a good price would be but have you tried [url=http://www.7dayshop.com7 Day Shop[/url |

Have you considered an adapter so that you can use SDHC?

I have a Nikon D5000 with a 18-55mm and 55-200mm lens, but am looking to get rid of both of these and change to a 28-300mm lens - basically cos i can't be bothered wasting time changing lenses each time i need to take a different shot.
Any recommendations on a quality lens that won't cost the earth?
Also, is it best to get the other 2 lenses on ebay to get the best price for them rather than trade them in to a camera shop??

They are a pile of c r a p and don't work properly at high speed shooting also those tiny cards are real easy to lose. A decent high speed CF card is more than a match for a SDHC. |

Wouldn't know, got one with my camera but haven't used it. Just use the CF card I have plus a CF min HD, both of which are fine for my purposes, but then I don't do any high speed stuff with that camera.
There are a number of CF cards on the 7dayshop site though and they quote all the specs. Looks to be a decent one around £40, or the dog's:

£150, or £85 for a 16Gb version. Any good? |

That was basically what I was asking lol
Also far too many fake Sandisk cards around for my liking.
Grabbed a couple of Lexar cards which seem to fit the bill nicely, might try some Trancend ones too seen as the Mrs has claimed my 400D and can fill a card in minutes. |

| Quote Panda Antics="Panda Antics"Looking for some buying advice please.
I want a decent camera to take travelling. I'm quite interested in photography (as in I like looking at photos) but know nothing about it.
Main thing is it needs to be easily portable and fairly small, so can't be doing with big, multiple lenses.
I'd like something better than the average point and shoot from Comet but only have a budget of around £350.00, could stretch it if necessary.
Are there any cameras that have a one lens suits all to take decent scenic photos as well as close of ups of people etc?
Any models/manufacturers you'd recommend?
I've done a bit of reading about and a Compact System Camera seems to be mid way between a standard digital and a DSLR, which I think is what I'm looking for?
Apologies for the lack of jargon, I did say I know nothing about this!'"
I got quite excited when Compact System Cameras came out.
Now I'm less keen.
The "compactness" seems a bit overstated to me, you'd still need the same bagful of kit that you'd take with a DSLR, albeit slightly smaller.
There are some genuine compacts out there with image quality that the magazines rave about, with prices to match, mind.
Canon S95 comes to mind and, because the zoom is fairly limited, it fits in your pocket. |
