Thank you John. I am a woman, therefore I do read the manual! But you are the first of the many people I have asked to actually recommend a book. It’s all very well knowing which buttons to press but you have to know when you want to press them, if you know what I mean. Searching ebay and Amazon as we speak. Thanks again

I appreciate that. I am really new to all this. I only got the camera a month ago, it’s my first SLR and I contemplated NOT taking it on holiday with me. Also, I am forever crouching down to take photos from a lower level but it was just too damn hot that day! What does concern me is the tilt – that is a problem I seem to have no matter how I try to line the horizon up – any suggestions for hand-held photos?

Ouch!! I wasn’t out as a photographer that day but as a tourist, melting in the sun. I have cropped , fiddled with the colour etc, but this is how it looked, tilt notwithstanding.
