i had a good book bought for me for my birthday recently. Its called digital photography masterclass (written by Tom Ang)
seems pretty good so far so could be worth a look
excellent thread so far chaps and im learning alot just reading it. I did a photography module at college a fair few years ago but it was mainly using non digital cameras and processing films in the dark room.
Keep it going

Sound advice lads, thanks Dave,i think i mananged to take it all in,lol.
I think i just need more practice and keep reffering to the info in this thread as its all gradually gonna sink in,i think i get the whole exp thing now,and understand a little more about iso thanx to you guys, the efix data i posted here is for the dog shot tho.
I also have a digital photography book by tom ang, very good beginners book,its not the masterclass book tho so maybe i need a copy as i find his way of explaining things quite easy to absorb

Don't take this the wrong way Gazzer but I think you don't really need that masterclass book just yet.

I've had a look at the review on dpreview and all seems ideal for the beginner to the SLR world. There are a few little things that I would miss but it is an entry-level camera so they can be excused.
If you are going to at all get serious about photography then remember that the camera you buy now could/should be the first part of what is going to be a system. More lenses, a flash and an upgraded body or two over the years and you'll find you really don't want to be changing makes as it gets very expensive to change the lot each time. Nikon (or Canon I suppose) offer the largest range and I would stick with them if you are looking for a starter camera.

recently bought a d60 mate, excellent piece of kit, amazing differnce in the quality of the pictures from a compact with same megapixels. read some good reports of the d40 too which can be bought relatively cheap now.
