DSLR Tips was launched on New Year's Eve 2007 as an online source of tips, tutorials and advice for Digital SLR owners. My video-based tutorials reveal how to get the most from your DSLR and are accompanied by easy step-by-step guides for reference.

One of the joys of owning a DSLR is the vast array of lenses and accessories that are available, and at DSLR Tips I'll guide you through the often bewildering choices to ensure you buy the right equipment for your style of photography.

Whether you've just bought your first DSLR or are an existing owner looking to improve your technique, DSLR tips is here to help you get the most from your camera!

DSLR Tips' sister site, Camera Labs is over five years old and in December 2010 served 3,886,604 page impressions over 1,079,956 visits. My video reviews have been watched by over 21 Million people (as of August 2011). DSLR Tips and Camera Labs are based in Queenstown in New Zealand's South Island.

How to support DSLR Tips

Support us by shopping at our partner stores or buying me a coffee!

Producing the tutorials and guides at DSLR Tips is a very time consuming process, and hosting the site is a significant expense. If you find my articles useful and would like to support DSLR Tips, please consider shopping for anything at my partner stores page.

You pay exactly the same price as normal, but I receive a small referral fee which keeps the site up and running. The referral fees also apply to books, DVDs or any other items, so there's no need to wait until you're shopping for a new camera!

Alternatively, you can buy me a coffee via PayPal! Once again, many thanks - your support really does allow me to continue delivering reviews and tutorials.


How to contact DSLR Tips
I welcome your comments and take on-board any suggestions you have. If you'd like to make any comments, please click here or better still post your message in the Camera Labs Forum. Please note I cannot offer technical support or additional buying advice beyond that published in the reviews.
