That's a shame. Next time you'll be more confident, less nervous(?), and pass.

Glad you've got your car sorted. Try to use manual focus when you do video, that way it doesn't sound like a woodpecker is attacking your camera!

Thanks, it's virtually unnoticable now, I'll have the focusing sorted when I finally find a job as I'll be buying a camcorder so I won't have to use the DSLR to film any more

The quality difference between mine and a decent camcorder is huge, especially in low light.

The quality difference between mine and a decent camcorder is huge, especially in low light. Its fine I was planning on buying one anyway, purely for times when I'll only be filming so then I don't have to carry round the camera with all the btis and bobs in the bag and it'll also be lighter

Try Bell insurance.. specialise in people who haven't had chance to build up much no claims yet. Don't know how well it will work for you, but it's worth a shot at least.
