Any of the newer i3/i5/i7 will play up to 1080p effortlessly. I do second the HP promo. I think that on top of getting a cash for the trade in process, you can also get some cash back from Quidco, at 10% if I remember correctly. Although I will recommend that you get extended warranty. Have had a...

Thanks Cedric, I've had my finger on the trigger today but a luke warm review limped-out my spending finger. I've got terminal indecisiveness at the moment and keep seeing better and better deals. Each £ spent on the laptop is a £ less for a new body. I've gone back to considering ULV light ...

Doug, If you have some time (always an advantage! :wink:), perhaps sit off the later Asus U series - they may well be worth waiting for. You'll get plenty of processing power and as good a battery life as any. Some of them have tin lids if that's a selling point for you. As these do not have...

Monopods
Got a Manfrotto 680B for Christmas, and I'm pretty sure it ticks all your boxes. It's light (800g), straps to the back of my Kata 3n1-20 nicely and seems very well built and sturdy. I use it with my gripped K7 and DA* 60-250 (with the tripod mount) and it does the job perfectly. I haven't even bothe...

In addition to the above; You have to set the desired aperture on the lens then press the "Green Button" to take a meter reading and effectively set the correct exposure. you may then press the shutter, dont forget to focus:D

Pentax k-x AF Problems
Hi. It might be best if you can post a couple of examples in order to illustrate the problem you're having. Off the top of my head it could be: Camera selecting a different focus point to the one you're intending. More possible with the K-x (and K-m) due to the lack of AF illumination point...

Best of bad job - budget flatbed scanner advice
You need a back light to scan negatives/slides, which flatbeds don't have The specialised Photo models by Epson etc. do have a back light and they come complete with neg. carriers. Probably all that's needed for 120 roll film or 5x4.

Where can I get my camera repaired
I have a K100D and the shutter release button does not stop halfway to enable autofocus. Instead it goes straight down and takes out of focus shots. I guess it needs a new release button. Any recommendations of camera repair shops for the Leeds/Bradford/Harrogate area? Thanks
