The small one is definitely a tight fit with the 13" MacBook Pro once you plug anything into the USB ports but it does fit ok. I've never had a problem with folding mine after the first couple of attempts.

I've had the non-is and the IS version of the Canon 300 2.8 and both give awesome image quality. With the 7D a 300 would be fine for football giving you more reach than those shooting with a 400 on a full frame. The 300 is definitely more luggable than the 400 as well. I miss my 300!

Unfortunately there seem to be more and more hobbyists at professional games who aren't interested in making any money from it and are just happy to get access to games - this is down to agencies adding these people to their license IMHO.

Interesting one. There are certain photographers posting images for premier league grounds all over Flickr - but not a problem as they don't have a licence [emoji85][emoji85][emoji85][emoji85]

Don't under estimate the relationship with local clubs. I have a really good relationship with my local club who have given me life long membership so I'll never have to pay to get in watching or shooting, I get a couple of free beers after the game, free invites to their events (hog roasts...

Not sure what the point is here?

Never heard of a football league competition but would be interested to find out more!!!

My comment wasn't in specific relation to the question raised that you're referring to but the comparisons are all over every forum you go to. Yes, each camera has its own key selling points but I just don't get the comparisons.

The continued comparison of the 7D2 and the 1DX is crazy - these are two very different cameras in very different price brackets. It's like saying Accrington Stanley aren't as good as Arsenal. What it does demonstrate IMHO is that the 7D2 is a very capable camera to even mention it in the same...

Not a bad read to be fair

I used to use AutoCopy (was only only almost free option I could find) but never had any problems with speed but it did come a bit unreliable and so now use PhotoMechanic to import locked files and then Lightroom to import them once they've been copied across by PM. If you can write some Java I...

Try AutoCopy from Tilebarn.com

Why would they not [emoji6]

I saw lots of SLR cameras in the crowd but with consumer grade zooms, probably in the 200-300mm range. Didn't see any white lenses in the crowd.

Yawn! It seems the same old topic comes up again and again with all the same arguments. There's a lot of professional sports photographers that are helping to destroy the profession as it stands today. It's a race to the bottom with everyone undercutting each other. I've heard some real horror...
