Jul 17	comment	Which is the best and affordable camera for newbie or amateur? I bought a D40 last year, the D3000 is now sinking to a similar price point that I picked my D40 up for, and this is a lot more camera for the cash. If I was making my first purchase now the D3000 would be a serious contender.
Jul 16	comment	What blogs should I be following if I am learning photography? DPS is awesome, been reading it since I bought my SLR and it has taught me a lot. Love the little challenges too, although need to think more about entering them! Some nice shots on display as well, great for inspiration
Jul 16	comment	What are the first few photography books someone should read? I love this book - great situation specific hints and tips and small enough to lug around when starting out.

Jul 15	comment	What are your easiest beginner tips? I think this is a much better suggestion than shooting in manual for a month. This is how I got to grips with my camera.
Jul 15	comment	Which camera bag for a single DSLR camera plus 2 lenses? Great question, a common requirement I think - been on the lookout for something similar
