    Fuji shop uk - discounts!

    Just to note that Fuji UK are offering 20% off their refurb gear until the end of the month. Their stuff is, in my experience, mint. I’ve just bought another camera I don’t need and have been sent this link that allows users to get another 5% off - for disclosure, please note that I will...

    D90 Upgrade

    I "upgraded" from a D90 to a D7000. Worst photographic mistake ever. The only good thing about the 7000 was a slight improvement in handling and switchery. I ended up selling it and my DX lenses. I bought a D700 on a whim last year (I had a couple of FX lenses left over) and now couldn't be...

    d600 vs d700 vs d7100

    If you're going to lug around a DSLR you might as well get one that feels just right (let's be honest, most modern cameras produce the goods IQ wise). The D700 feels just right.

    What outdoor/hill walking trousers?

    Montane Terra pants - had my pair for years and they're the danglies. The black ones look less "spottery" and the new Baltic blue colour looks particularly nice. And they do varying leg lengths - a boon for us short of leg!(-: And if it's cold I just wear a merino base layer under them. And if...

    D700 question

    Just checked mine too; I only got it a few weeks ago. Acts "normally" I'm afraid.

    Yes, everyday for the last 4 years. I changed my original X100 to a T about 4 months ago. It just had those little extras I wanted. You get a good deal on the Fuji refurb site, especially with the Paypal12 discount code - although now it's only 7% extra off.

    Walking shoes recommendations

    Find a good store and try some on, that's my recommendation - footwear really is individual. Personally, I love Salomon XA Pro 3D shoes and Brasher Supalite boots. (On my 3rd pair of both). Both light and very comfortable from first wear.

    Ok am I being daft? D3300 to D7000 upgrade

    Since first release - about 5 years? Just sold it - been meaning to do it for ages but just got round to it. Replaced by a D700 - that wasn't the plan but I thought I'd give FF a go. Now, I love that camera! For me the biggest let down with the D7000 was the focus or, should I say, the lack...

    Ok am I being daft? D3300 to D7000 upgrade

    Agreed. Worst photographic decision ever was selling my D90 for a D7000 - avoid, really.

    £250 Compact camera

    In that case, a Sony RX100 would fit the bill perfectly. Edit: Whoops, beaten to it. What he said!
