These guys really know their stuff. They've been doing computer
fairs in the North since the fairs started. I would imagine that
they would do a custom job as well if you want. Click on

Used to be called "Bits, Butts and Bytes" hence the 3B

I've bought loads of parts off them and never had any problems
with refunds on the very rare faulty item and they
always answer my emails.

Edit: It looks like only the FULL Systems come with an OS.
On the Bare Bones ones it's £78 Extra for 32 or 64 bit W7

Eye-Fi cards already upload to websites and there doesn't seem
much interest in them from Pentax users.

Nikon have discontinued the FF A850 because the price was too close
to the A900 so people were buying the the A900 instead. Loads of
people could have told them that before they even made the A850,
but some people in these organizations like to pursue their
dead end ideas

Why not give free tickets to New York with every camera it worked
for Hoover..... Not!!!

Jay Maisel does OK with just a 28-300mm (most of the time)
on a full frame camera

Would it not make more sense for people to see the existing
votes before they vote

It's just a poor photograph and it's daft to depict them as you say Gwynn. Snowdons portrait didn't and he had the Duke in the middle of the picture.

In fact this is very poor when you compare it with Snowdons portraits of the Royal Family link

Turn it off on the camera. I can't imagine that either Pentax or Sigma would advise both on.

Eventually someone will do a scientific test to see what works best.

I've got a Panasonic portable, possibly the same as the one he's using, but haven't tried connecting it to a camera. The actual screen picture isn't one of the best

It's unbalanced, but they probably wanted the Queen in the centre of the picture, but he could have made it look better balanced by putting something in the space on the right.

The Queen is also moved closer to the camera than the Duke.

Not a great example of portraiture, but on a par with a lot of stuff you see now days.

Edit:
SKY obviously don't give a dam about it being a work of art they've made their own crop They've cropped too much off the top and the bottom was never big enough anyway. They have improved the balance though by cropping off the right side.
