f1- yes i did, sat right next to it in the shop, big difference for me was the infinitely adjustable centre column which can be angled anywhere between upright and horizontal with a fantastic fast lever action fastner for angle with the column being on thumb screw slider, were as the Manfrotto...

lowepro slingshot 100 here, Camera, 3 lenses (inc 18-270 zoom), spare battery, filters, bottle of water, crisps & tripod attached to outside elastic strap on bag. has got pretty wet in past with all contents remaining dry, has additional strap for increased stability when tail biking.

nope, brand new from my local who still had it left over from January sale, amazing seeing as everything here is normaly twice the cost (France) they had a Carbon version at 250 euros (about £220) but thought that a tad excessive for my needs. spent the day with it yesterday and I could...

thanks guys, looked at all you mentioned, the flexibility of the Octopus really appealed but ended up with this http://www.vanguardworld.com/index.php/en/products/photo-video/detail-1-4-15-89.html which came as a complete kit including a ball head, two mounting plates and carry bag for £120...

any suggestions for a good Macro tripod, sturdy is more important than light weight, I have the Manfrotto slider to mount but it is a backwards and forwards slider only so a tripod with a geared head for side to side would be great. using with the mp-e65 & ring flash on a canon 450 body so...

thanks guys, I will be using it mostly at x2 or x3, the seagul @ x3 is interesting but at what cost of clarity? I am using it for very close macro with the mp-e65 so the clarity is very important, viewing data is not so important as you can set up at x1 then zoom for manual focusing if its...

anyone used a PDA or similar with 'DSLR remote pro' software to operate their camera? looking to find the smallest windows based system that'll use this software for on the go.

as Taxi said, same as when using live view, (450 uses the -magnifier button to focus) essentially it would just be an extension of this button whilst looking at the LCD. I like your idea of a small notebook though Taxi, wonder if an iphone ap is possible or maybe a PDA :thinking:

anyone know of one? looking for the same sort of zoom functionality that you get when connected to a Laptop....

bought a D200 on fleabay, it said there were only 5000 actuations but on receiving the camera it looks like the body has had far more useage, print on buttons worn away a generally looks tired exif info says 5000 odd but I'm not so sure, is there some way the numbers could have been tampered...
