I have not stolen any images, and all the images on www.darrentoogood.com are from my old camera. It will take me a few weeks to get use to this camera, and thne I will upload more of my photography using the new camera.


Jordy, it was infact around £2000 in £50 notes xD

Agreed again,If you like photography then good luck to you is all i can say.I have always wanted to be good at it but i never really took it up as a hobby, later in life i may.

how much was the camera on it's own?

I do photography as a hobby and did it in college, my advice would be a camera made by Nikon because they're sturdy and work reasonably well with red colours :) Plus loads of professionals seem to use them. A Nikon D-50 is the decent, baby Nikon which comes with a standard 18-55mm lense which is good for close up photography and portraiture, but if you want to spend a bit more perhaps a Nikon D-80 which processes images faster and creates images in higher quality :)

Havnt you got anything better to spend your money on than computers and computer equipment. I have a laptop and ive had it for 3 years and it works fine. I dont buy a new one every few months :S

The camera I have, to answer someones quesiton is £400 on its own, with 18-55mm lens.

I do not have anything better to spend my money on, no :P My computer is coming up to 3 years old this July, and its had it.

OMG 3 YEARS OLD!? LOL

My old computer was 5 going on 6 years! It was slow, but it worked fine so there was no point in replacing it untill it didn't meet my needs anymore.

Mine is Celeron D Processor, 80GB HDD, 1.2GB RAM...

Therefore I am spending £550 on building a total new system, Core 2 Quad, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD :)

The camra that is built into my phone (which cost £70) is good enough for me (can take decent photos with size of 640x600) :)

LOL, 640x600 (did make me laugh).

Mine does 3300x3000 all day long.

Well it's hardly going to do 3300x3000 from 12 o'clock to 3 o'clock, and then for the rest of the day do 2500x2000 :S:S

Its an expression, and I could do that in the settings if I wanted to xD

Its a complicated camera and will take some time getting used to. I am joining a photograhy club at the end of May, so that will be great!
