The EOS 40D Excellent picture quality

Advantages: Excellent picture quality, low noise, now down in price.
Disadvantages: None

...Introduction After several years of using bridge cameras and the like, I thought it was time to move up to a DSLR, after using canon cameras for most of the time in the past, I looked at what was on offer from them, at first I considered the EOS 400 but I decided to go for the newly released and better spec EOS 40D instead, I have used Canon 35mm Film SLR cameras in the past, so I thought I knew what I was in for, but the modern DSLR's are a different beast altogether, and I was pleasantly surprised at what this camera was capable of, it is light years away from my original Zenith camera, and even way ahead of my first Canon SLR which was an advanced and well specified camera in its time. The Canon EOS 40D was first announced in the autumn of 2007, this camera has improved on an already impressive line of EOS cameras, ranging...

Verstile WD - 40 to the rescue

Advantages: A great versitile product.
Disadvantages: Must use in a ventilated space

...This is a fantastic product that everyhold should have. It's only £2.00 for a 250ml can and is available in all supermarkets and garages. It distinct blue and yellow metal can with a red top is easy to find amongst all the other products on display. To use you just remove the red lid and spray. Here are some of the things my husband and I have used it for:- 1. Removing stickers and labels from glass and mirrors. I sometimes find that price tags and stickers can be awkward to remove without leaving a mark. However, I have now started using WD-40 to do the job for me. I just spray a little on to the sticker leave for a few moments and then remove the sticker easily as the solvents in WD 40 cause the adhesive to lose its stickiness. 2. Removing grease and grime from hands. When my husband has been working on the car and his hands are...

Review of 40 Year Old Virgin (DVD)

40 inches of pure pleasure!!

Advantages: Superby picture quality. Crystal clear HD, plenty of inputs
Disadvantages: Pricey if you don't shop around

...--Background -- The 40W4100 had won many awards so we decided to take the plunge and buy it as our first LCD tv. After many trips to local electrical stores and hours of research on the net, it became aparrent that this tv was a step above the rest and although the price was also a great deal higher, we decided to go for it. However, I smelt a bargain. This tv was being advertised anywhere between £850 and £1000 at most places. During my research I came across a place in Coventry, not far from us who were selling the tv for an attractive £683. I was a bit sceptical about why this relatively small company could be so cheap compared to everywhere else. Off I went to the Sony Centre, armed with my printout in the hope they would price match for me. Alas, the Sony Centre told me this other company were selling, in effect factory...

OK Agent WD40 . .

Advantages: Very good for many jobs.
Disadvantages: Just that you have to buy it.

...WD40. This product is made by the company that sells three in one oil, and now owns the famous 1001 company, the carpet cleaning solution. They do have a decent website, take a look, www.wd40.co.uk Check out the "Job site" where you will find a section named "Pointers by the Pros" You have just missed the WD40 free magic pen offer, I missed it too, so I have no idea what this was. OK I have just looked it up, apparently it is a pen shaped applicator, containing a small amount of WD40 of course, This does seem a good idea to me, it takes up very little room, and can be kept anywhere you may need it, which means virtually anywhere! The company is based in Milton Keynes, and has offices all over the world. They have quirte a reputation. Contact details are:- WD-40 Company Ltd Registered Office: Brick Close, Kiln Farm...

D40 user review

Advantages: small, light, easy to use, near-perfect quality
Disadvantages: no AE bracketing, no internal focus motor

...I've been using this camera for 8 months now and continue to be totally satisfied. The camera is a near-perfect balance between price and features, a perfect starter dSLR for a beginner. I recently bought a Nikkor 18-200VR lens for my D40 and plan on buying a SB600 flash. In current setup the camera is a perfect travel companion - I recently took a two-week trip to Croatia and Slovenia with it and it served me well. Most important, the end results were really good. The user interface, both buttons and menus, are easy and intuitive, no need to even open the manual. Supports SD(HC) cards, so storage is cheap. Perfect balance in hand, nice weight, good ergonomics. Unfortunately no AE bracketing which I sometimes miss when trying to take HDR shots, but I use a tripod or any other sturdy object for support and can manage. Also the lack...

Review of Nikon D40

Canon 40D

Advantages: Build quality,features,price
Disadvantages: Needs at least a 1Mb memory card,size of instruction book

...I have now owned my Canon 40D for just over a week and I'm still finding my way round the features,comparing it to my previous camera,(Canon 10D)is like comparing a a carthorse and a racehorse. 10.1 megapixels,a 3inch screen and 6.5 frames per second shooting all combine to make this the best digital camera I've ever owned,(and I've owned a few,mostly compacts) Shooting at 6.5 frames per second for the first time is an awesome experience,it made me jump the first time I tried it and it filled the memory card up very quickly,I was using the combined Raw and JPEG shooting feature,not that you need to use this every time. The 40D is a really solid piece of kit and I'm expecting to get many years of use out of it,as I have from my Canon 10D. To sum up,my Canon 10D cost me over a £1000 six years ago,the 40D can be purchased for less than...

40 days and 40 winks

Advantages: The women
Disadvantages: plot, humour

...The other night, myself and a small group of friends decided to go rent some videos from blockbuster. After spending nearly an hour choosing a couple of films we went back to one friends house and set about watching them. The first film we watched was ‘40 Days and 40 Nights’. We picked it because we had all seen trailers for it and it looked quite good. Plus, comedies are easy to watch and light hearted before settling down for our proper movie. So what’s it all about? Josh Hartnett (The Faculty and The Virgin Suicides) plays Matt, a guy who, months after a split up with a girlfriend realises that his obsession with her is because he always thinks about sex. So he goes to see his brother, a slipping priest in training and after a revelation discusses the idea of celibacy. He decides that he will give up...

And the hubby says 'that's a nice big one'?..(at the adverts that is) and I get that sinking feeling of oh no how much is this going to cost! The item in question is a Samsung LCD TV.

Yes I know bit far to go to look at a TV and hour later I am driving back in my Ford Ka, which has not got the biggest boot with a 40" Samsung LCD LE40R8 TV. When we got home and started unpacking the TV, I was quite surprised at how well it was packaged for protection. Fitting snug in the box surrounding in...
