Just wanted to add my thanks to Tina and Panamoz after receiving the Sony A77/6-50mm lens with spare FM500H battery, 2x Sandisk 32Gb Sd cards (1x 95MB/sec 1x 45MB/sec) and the 1 year replacement warranty. I submitted the request to order via email on Thursday 6th Sept, received the invoice...

Just as a wee update, I've taken most of what has been said in the replies to this post onboard and as it has been around 4months since I last handled both the A77 and D7000 (albeit for 20mins whilst in transit at Heathrow), I'm going to take a trip into Glasgow this coming week to play around...

Thanks Chris, that's quite interesting to hear. Fairly decent price on the batteries too - I noticed the Nikon ones are £50 on Amazon. If i do end up with the A77, my sig would probably look a lot like yours including the Sigma 10-20, 50 1.4, gorillapod slr zoom and the redsnapper 283 (with...

Some great advice here regarding both of my selections and a few lens options to go off and read up on (should I go with the D7000). On initial searches, the 120-400 doesn't sem too well regarded - the 120-300 does get great write ups, but it looks fairly large too. I agree regarding the...

As I can't imagine travelling or using anything with a longer FL than the 70-300 very often, I'd rather just rent something than buy something sits on a shelf for months. I'm not averse to the £400 rental for the 200-400, it's just the size and weight that puts me off.

I've read a few online debates about the 80-400 vs the 70-200 with a TC but the general vibe seemed to be that the latter was fine with the 1.4 (albeit with a more restrictive focal range), okay with the 1.7 and not especially sharp (or fast) with the 2x. Many of the threads/posts ended up...

That's quite good to hear - thanks for the replies folks.

Hi all, I wonder if I might be able to get some advice here on a DSLR camera body (and accompanying system) for myself, as someone who travels regularly for both work and leisure. My current setup is an old Sony A300 with a few fairly inexpensive lenses (18-250mm, 50mm 1.4, Sigma 10-20 and...

Fantastic, thanks Tina.

Hi there, I'm currently deciding between a D7000 body and an A77 but noticed you are currently out of stock on the D7000 - do you know when you are likely to have them back in stock?

That's actually sorely tempting, looking to finally upgrade from my A300 and was looking at the likes of DigitalRev/Panamoz but the A77 kit from Jessops clearance might be a decent alternative.. does anyone know for sure if these would be eligible for the cashback?
