Thanks Dave, I like win-win situations.

It depends how good a job the camera makes of it. In theory no, I wouldn't, but continuing advances in digital imaging keep throwing old theories away....I'd like to try it at least.

I notice you're in Cheshire - if you come to the ADAPS Open Night tonight (details on www.adaps.org.uk ) then we'll actually show you how. Much easier than explaining it here!

Is that a possibility?

It would probably be useful for specific shots - perhaps an occasional architectural subject with a lens that exhibited a degree of barrel distortion at wide angles.

23rd December 2012 was the date I was given - it's the end of the mayan fourth cycle or something similar.

I thought that year I might not bother buying any Christmas presents...

Don't put people off just on the basis of the T&C's - most sets of those would put anybody off.

I have purchased from said company and they despatched from the UK and there was no problem at all.

Unless we have a personal experience that we can recount we can't assume the worst will happen, just caution anyone to be careful and vigilant about the detail when buying on the web.

alig, you are spot on. The degree of polarisation will vary across the sky and can look very odd.

In reality we will all have upgraded our cameras long before they reach the end of their service lives.

Yes, in theory if you shake something more it will wear out faster, but in the context of the expectations for the camera it probably won't have any bearing on its life. Something will fail first of course, but it might not be the SR system.

The modes are PC and Pictbridge, but a card reader is much more efficient.
