Dear Ed,
Hi and firstly great Mag!! My question is regarding digital cameras, I am a designer and I am looking to get into some photography, so I am wondering, what should I be looking for in the way of a camera that will serve me well in the future.
What features do I need to look for, eg. zoom, megapixels etc?
John
Hi John
Thanks for your letter. Well I would say that if you want to look long term then you should be looking a DSLR. Canon and Nikon make some great models with lenses at a good price. But if you can only afford point and shot, look for something with a good level of optical zoom at least 3 times as a minimum. Also keep a look out for our next issue because will be covering some basics on purchasing cameras.

Hi Ed.
What a great mag, I have got every issue so far and I love it! I am wondering if you could cover computer monitors in the coming months. I have been looking out for a new one. I am considering going to a LCD but I’m still not sure what to look for.
Kate
Hi Kate
Yes! We will certainly make an effort to look at some monitors for you. In the mean time some things to consider are, that LCD monitors are improving a lot. CRT monitors are on the way out. Take a look at some of the models by companies such as Dell, which feature great contrast ratios and a very low dot pitch.

Hi Ed.
Just thought I would thank you for your great review of Flash 2004 MX professional, last issue. It was a great read and I have since bought it and am using it great effect!
