My HS20 stopped recording video so sent it for repair (2-4 weeks), unfortunately that means I have to dig out my very heavy DSLR stuff or not take photos for a month! :( not a happy chappy, specially when I had planned a zoo trip and a mountain tea trek trip tomorrow...my poor back! *sigh*  RegardsDean

 Hi Di, Thanks again for your help last weekend, today i finally was able to use my camera, for the first time, i took an early morning walk along the River Avon @ UPAVON in Wiltshire, It's a small village where i live, and i took these few photo's which i have put in my gallery, if you can look at them from the bottom , right  to left, as this was the order they were taken so the titles will then make sense to you, and could you please give me any advice or guidance which will be greatly appreciated,Kind Regards, Trevplease visit my gallery @ the link below.

Today i went out and bought a CSC (Compact systemcamera) from Samsung, the NX 11 model together with kit 18-55mm objective. Will order the 50-200mm when my wallet stops screaming (3 cameras in 4 months).Anyone experienced with this Camera? I read alot of reviews, tried it at a store and i got pleasantly suprised, smaller than a regular DSLR body but with the same features and specs as nikon/canon. The sensor is the same as in Canon 7D.Reviews arent all that mixed.. most of reviewers give the camera 8 out of 10. Photograhyblogg, ephotozine and so on.

I currently have a HS10 which I love but wanted a smaller camera that I could have with me at all times but would be able to take good photos.Has anyone used the F600 as this is the camera I am thinking of purchasing.Any help would be much appreciated. ThanksKaren 

how to use the night to take pic with it , or how to us the flash at night  with out it going all black pic ..  

Hi,Has anyone tried using the HS10 with the RR-80 remote shutter release?HS10 uses a micro USB and the RR-80 uses a mini-USB, but before i take the plunge and buy a RR-80 and a mini-micro adapter, has anyone else tried this approach and got it to work?

I do a lot (probably to much) of traveling throughout SE Asia for work and spend what spare time I have motorcycle touring. I travel without checked luggage so am restricted to 7kg carry-on plus a small camera bag and a 10" netbook computer.I find the HS20EXR (and previously the HS10) the perfect general purpose camera for me when I am out and about. My camera kit has to fit into my small camera bag, for ease of travel and airline restrictions.Here is my camera kit that covers most of my needs:
