QUESTIONS
1. Hi Guys Love the show and thanks for all your help and advice I have a question about camera batteries. I bought a Nikon D3000 in 2010. The battery that came with the camera was always pretty good and I often got nearly a days shooting out of it. Now however, it barely lasts 2 hours and I've come to wonder if its on its last legs? a. Should I have expected more out of this battery and should I contact Nikon to complain b. Should I consider only a Nikon battery to replace it or should I look at other brand batteries? Thanks Mark Thompson - London
2. Hi Ewen, Alex, Kevin & Chris With silly season approaching, I'm thinking of getting my 13 year old daughter a camera for Christmas. She has always loved using my compact camera but I think she should have her own camera and who knows perhaps it will inspire her to learn and do more with photography. What should I be looking for in any camera I purchase and should I be getting a compact camera, Bridge Camera or DSLR for her. Cheers for any advice you can offer Gary Burton - Liverpool
3. Hello Fellas Love the show keep up the good work Simple question I guess. If I want to shoot black and white images with my digital camera, should I deliberately increase the ISO to put 'grain' into the image at capture or should I still shoot on the lowest ISO and then add grain afterwards in Photoshop? Thanks Jerry Randall - Texas
