Sadly we have outgrown Cominos House and have had to find new premises.  We will have our first meeting

It is situated in front of the Worree High School next to the playing field.

The following will bring up a map in google maps, from there you can enter your origin to get

Canon has released firmware updates for its 50D, 450D and 1000D digital SLRs.

Firmware versions 1.0.6, 1.1.0 and 1.0.5 for EOS 50D, Rebel XSi (450D) and Rebel XS (1000D). The 50D update fixes issues such as vertical banding noise.

CPSI is proud to announce we now have our own online forum. Please register and have a look around. Once you see what it's all about I think you will realise what a wonderful collaboration tool it will be for the club. All members can "Post" and we encourage you to do so. You can access it from the "Forum" link in the top or side menu. Dean Phillips has kindly offered to be the day-to-day moderator of the forum so if you need help just send him a "PM" (Personal Message) or use the "Contact US" page. Once again the software comes courtesy of the wonderful open-source community.

If you would like to start posting your own photos for comments then you will need to join one of the many photo sharing sites. I have listed some below. Once you have your images online then you can just paste the URL into your "Post". If you need help with this just send Dean Phillips a "PM".
