Add to my horde - One LowePro Primus Minimus AW back pack. (£45!) One battery grip for the 500D. One cable remote release (won this morning on eBay for less than a tenner inc. postage). Thinking about tripods and filters next. |

I'd love a grip for mine but they're quite rare and pricey. I recently added: Sigma 55mm UV Filter Lens Pen Original Got rid of the WB500 and picked up a Lumix TZ7 Still on the shopping list (looks a million miles away right now!): Sigma 10-20 Tamron 28-75 Diana F+ |

I've got one of them full of Minolta film gear. As I recall the 'skin' is textured to such a degree that accidental contact results in much bleeding of hands, wrists, elbows etc. It was a cheap case Al |

I just got me a Dust-Aid Platinum sensor cleaning kit. I'm going to use it tonight and I'm already bricking it. Mark |

18 years of sobriety should stand you in good stead Do yourself a favour and eliminate all the ancilliary niggles like charge your battery so mirror lock up doesn't fail and make sure you have everything set up and readily available. A decent light source is a must and try and make the environment you will be using as dust free as possible. I use sensor swabs and Eclipse 2 fluid and the first time I cleaned my sensor on the 40D I was bricking it. It gets easier with practice and soon you'll be thinking what all the fuss was about. Let us know how you get on. Al |

What yer man said. I've got that set, and used it. It does work, but don't be too pernickety. There will be some specks that refuse to come away. I still have spots that show up, but as they tend to be in the busier bits of the image and only become obvious below ƒ/16, they're not so obvious. |

Found a used Fuji S9500 going for £99 on Wednesday, just walked past a shop window and saw it there. Now I know that many here will ask why I spent money on a bridge camera when I should have saved for a dSLR, but it's still a bloody good camera, even though it's 5 years old it can hold its own against many of the prosumer dSLRs today. And besides, for £99 I got a lot of camera for not a lot of cash. |

Never having heard of it I did a quick search and according to THIS REVIEW it sounds as though you've found a bargain, which I hope will live up to your expectations! |

I found that exact same review, after I bought the camera and immediately entered smug mode. |

Went to Jessops today and picked up a skylight filter and a cleaning kit. |

Just won a Mamiya ZE 35mm body with a 28mm lens on it. Which is completely what I need in my life - an obsolete camera system with lenses that are difficult to find. Awesome. |

You can add a Diana MIni Lomo camera to my collection. Good fun, and confuses the film developing people with the irregular sized multiple exposed negatives |

I've got one of them in the carp room, and I'm going to try and find it this weekend, as I'm sure it's got a couple of decent lenses for my D90. Great camera though... hope you have as much fun with your as I did with mine, (and the F65) |
