Pretty sure I managed ok with a dslr before, as did literally thousands of other togs. Thanks for the post though.

Thanks for all the replies. I’ve decided to get a used D500 for £500. I’m sure it’s going to be a giant step up from what I’m used to, and the crop factor gives my 70-200 extra reach. If it doesn’t live up to expectations I can always resell it for what it cost me, and then I’ll take the...

Brilliant image of a stunning dog. Thanks for the help.

Great shots!

It kind of reminds me of the age old Mac vs PC debate...why on earth would anyone buy a Mac, when they can get a similar/higher spec PC for a fraction of the cost. Well, I suspect the majority of Mac users would say because it just works better. As a system, I'd say this relates quite well to...

I disagree. I own both, and the b2 head is a bit smaller and lighter, has a built in stand adapter, doesn't require a usb receiver thingy, doesn't require the cable to be plugged in each time, has a longer cable, much better mounting system... Personally I think it defines the word portability...
