    Ear phones - which ones?

    I use Android, but I got my daughter some Air Pod Pro's and I was very impressed with them. If they had connected to my phone then I would have bought myself a pair and I'm pretty fussy when it comes to head phones. I use the BOSE brand mostly, but the Air Pods are better IMO.

    New Camera or New Lenses?

    I'm really pleased that I upgraded from a new D7200 to a used D800, the difference in my opinion is huge. I got a couple of decent used lenses too, and it all came in at less than your stated budget.

    Non UK Iceland

    Definitely! Last time I was there the snow came in so fast, and the only way to see you were even on a road was via the central reservation barrier. I'm happy and confident driving in all conditions, but that was a new one for me, and did mess with the head a bit.

    Second camera.

    I had, and still have a D7200, which I used before getting my D800, and after using the D800, I'd not even consider using the older one again. If I needed another body I'd get another D800/810 etc

    Broadband vs 4g

    I don't use iplayer, but Netflix does seem to be the best when it comes to streaming with a slower connection.

    Broadband vs 4g

    Where I am the landline BB was terrible, and after years of trying to get it sorted, I went with a mobile broadband dongle from Vodafone. It was immediately better than the BB ever was, and has mostly been trouble free for the last 6 years or so. I also have one at the gym, as BT were useless...

    Women in Photography Clubs and Forums?

    Genetic make up and biology have a huge effect on the interests and behaviours of male and females! As for women in the military, many do not excel, and are there because they are women, and tick certain boxes. This is not a generalisation, but it is a fact. I could write 20,000 words of...

    Women in Photography Clubs and Forums?

    I agree 100%, the male/female/race/gender/sexual preference etc stuff is a very small minority with nothing better to shout about, and should be an absolute non issue in the vast majority of things. I was purely sharing my own thoughts and experience, which seem to be confirmed by many of the...

    Women in Photography Clubs and Forums?

    I can't comment on clubs, but in general over the years, my male friends have been more interested in photography than my female friends/girlfriends. I don't mix in photography circles, so these were purely general interest types of people, not any who took it super seriously. It may just be...

    YouTube on Android Issue

    They have changed a few things, all for the worse, including the list now covering half the screen when you turn it landscape! The only reason people turn it landscape it to see more screen, so why on earth would Youtube think that covering half of it by default is a good idea? I hate updating...

    Beginner Another Noob Looking For Buying Advice (DSLR).

    Just a small point about the mention of the camera being "10 years old" in the first post. A few months ago I bought a Nikon D800, which was probably going on 10 years old (I can't remember if it said the age?), along with some lenses which may have been even older? The 70-200 zoom I got...

    The last Nikon (premium) DSLR

    100% I have an old 911 and an old Fireblade, and both give me so much more pleasure than the newer, faster, 'better' versions, I love the 'click' and feel I get from my DSLR, it adds to my pleasure, just like manually changing gear does in my car, even though I logically know the PDK auto...

    Why do people ruin their video with music?

    I genuinely think it is becoming that way for most things, and thinking for ones self is being actively discouraged with mocking lables and name calling :(

    Why do people ruin their video with music?

    I completely agree. Most of the time the music adds nothing, but often detracts from the video, sometimes to the point of annoying. I've been a powerlifter for over 20 years and with training videos it is often Death Metal style music, which maybe in the gym is fine for short periods, but not...
