Choosing My New Camera
So, I’ve finally got my new camera. I’m going to take you through my reasoning for my choice- perhaps this will be of help to others making a similar decision.

Best Time To buy
Well, with Christmas approaching, a few people have been asking my advice on whether prices are likely to drop in the next few weeks. Difficult to say, of course, on a per product basis. However, as I have a lot of historical price data now, I thought I’d check to see if there were any […]
