Where to start?

I had a look on my computer; I have Gb of files since starting this 5 months ago.

I had the camera's modified at a local camera repair shop. I ended up talking to one of the techos in the shop and he surprisingly knew exactly what I wanted because he had done the exact same thing for a University lecturer last year; so I left him to it and just took what he gave me without too many questions. His big emphasis was having the camera dustproof which has proved to be a very good idea. Some of the cameras with pop-out lenses are very prone to dust, mud and water. I can send you some more info if you like; specifically what do you need to know? I am currently happy with using the SkyWalker and a Skyfun.

Regards Jerry
