    DSLR backpack for cycling

    I'd recommend using whatever cycling backpack you currently have and then some Domke wraps or similar. As far as I know there aren't any decent cycling specific camera bags that cater for dSLRs, so you'd always be compromising even if you found a good sports backpack (such as the F Stop one...

    Backpack with tripod carrying ability?

    There are a few options here under a hundred quid: http://www.shotkit.com/best-camera-backpack/ but I'd also recommend going on Amazon and searching for backpacks and sorting by reviews - there are some gems on there between 50-100 that have great feedback and look very nice too!

    Which Fuji lens?

    Those 2 zooms will stand you in good stead, but I'd recommend looking at a 35mm equivalent (the 23mm) which is versatile enough for landscapes and portraits alike, and will have better image quality and be faster than those zooms. Some more info in this roundup I put together...

    Manual over-ride auto focus point selection

    The title of the post is a little confusing, but I was wondering whether there were any cameras out there that had this function that I wish existed. I shoot in Single Point AF mode, ie, I use the thumb pad on my Nikon D610 to move the cursor to the position I want the camera to focus. However...

    So, rumour has it that Nikon and Canon are due to release some new pro DSLRs. What would be on your wishlist for new features? All I want is a pro body with a flip out screen!!

    The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

    Some great pics and reviews from all the X-T1 owners out there. I thought I'd throw this review out there too - yet another Nikon -> Fujifilm convert, or should I say, DSLR to Mirrorless convert...

    D610 or 6D

    I've posted this before, but I did a review (or more like a discussion on why I think the D610 is a good upgrade choice) here that you may find useful. I've had a go on a 6D and thought it was a really good camera too. I loved the wifi option, where you can control the camera with your iPhone...

    14 day project?

    14 days at 14mm? You could do a set of cool landscapes with your zoom set at 14mm for example. I did something similar over 35 days with a 35mm lens.

    To Crop or not to Crop

    I agree with the top heavy comment. Go with your instinct though - there's no right or wrong here.

    Interesting techniques

    If you have a Canon you may be in luck as the Double Exposure is much easier to do on several of the pro models - you can overlay the first image you take by using the camera's Live View. There's a great explanation here: http://www.dylandsara.com/canon-5d-mark-iii-double-exposure-tutorial/

    New nikon FF action camera

    I have no idea what an 'action camera' is, but if it's a FF pro body camera with a flip out screen, Nikon has my full attention!
