    Need a new bag for camera + 17" laptop

    Lowepro Fastpack 350 or 350AW would accommodate you. I personally use the 350 and it's a terrific bag.

    Football Players team photos

    Thanks for this, great tips. Especially about shooting from slightly above and the wearing of undergarments. I found myself PS-ing some neck areas last season because of this. Unfortunately plain old boots are becoming less common in favour of the more garish!

    Sigma 70-200 2.8 OS

    Looking at the Exif detail, it appears that its set for 51-point AF AF-C Also that the focus point used is 48 (E1). I'm not sure what point that is though. Have you tried less AF points (AF-9), on AF-S and ensured the focus point is what you need (centre point maybe?). However, I may be well...

    Neewer battery grip - Nikon D7100

    Has anybody any views on the Pixel Pro grip? Available for £55 on Amazon and seems to be well rated there. Just wondering if it's worth £25 more than the Neewer?

    Bag to fit Pro body with 70-200 2.8 attached?

    :plusone: for the Fastpack 350. Although you'd likely have to reverse your hood to get it to fit in the main compartment.

    Nikon D7xxx owners thread

    My 3rd (yes THIRD) D7100 will be delivered tomorrow. My first one, which I've had for 3 weeks has some intermittent issues (shutter firing with a weird sound resulting in very dark images, the back screen refusing to display until I remove the battery). The first replacement was out the box for...

    Jessops re-opening

    Yup, camera bodies (out of stock) at RRP and same old ridiculous memory card pricing as before. Not much business sense on display here. Was hopeful when I heard Peter Jones on TV yesterday morning use the term 'price match', however that hope was dashed when he indicated matching Jessops store...

    Nikon D7xxx owners thread

    Thanks for that Doug. Still undecided as most of my use is sports and the only outstanding concern I have now is the buffer. Impressed by the shots with the kit lens though.
