It's called creating a lien. When you hand something in for repair, a car, a camera or whatever else - you create a lien. You create a proprietery interest that lies in the hands of the repairer in this case. It's not your property any longer - it belongs to the repairer. Imagine that...

I use the largest Lowepro on the market for trips where I don't know what I want to take (so I take everything), a HPRC Rucksack for when I know what I want to do, and a small pelicase to keep my camera and lens in - which goes with me wherever I go.

... only someone from Sandhurst would use this phrase.

The same argument exists for the supply of herion, prostitutes and semtex.

The only thing I would like to know is what focal length F Stop he was shooting at, those pictures are rubbish. Even I am a better long distance perv that he is.

Nope, I don't use it. I prefer to use what little skill I have to capture the scene as best as I can within my own limitations, both of my equipment and my own skill. At least I know the picture represents the scene as I captured it, and it is not subject to massive alterations because of my...

I would stick with whatever system you have already subscribed to, in the case the Sony, and go with the A77 option. Granted, Nikon have a greater selection of lenses, but from what you have said it wouldn't matter how many lenses they have given that both systems have suitable alternatives...

If it does not do something that you want it to do - and there is something out there that does... then it is outdated.

A camera thief will generally not be an opportunist - if you leave opportunity in the way of a thief then they will take it clearly. However - what the thief will look for is a person who is carrying a large bag (like a large camera bag), or who is out with their children, or with their...

Having read your post, I would bin the idea of going for a Bridge, and go straight for a DSLR. The bottom line is, with a DSLR you can program it to be a point and shoot, and it is also a spring board into bigger and better things. Granted - it won't be excellent at all those things, but at...

Do you have any details about location and timings?
