I have a couple of cheapy USB card readers that appear to be total utter carp. Can anyone recommend a decent quality card reader that offers good speed and reliability? Cheers J

Out of interest, could you all list the first 3 digits of the serial number? I'm just wondering if this is a small batch that are effected. J

I'm looking at the various options for batteries and chargers for my Fuji XT-1. There seem to be lots of 3rd party batteries available, of varying capacities and prices. Can anyone recommend any as ones worth getting, or ones worth avoiding? I would like to get a charger that I can run off a...

Yes... Hasn't arrived yet tho. J

Excellent, thank you for that. Trying to decide which peli case to buy. Cheers J

Oh this is worrying considering I've just hit the order button. How do they fail? J

Is there any reason not to use a Canon flash (600EX-RT) with a Fuji body (Fuji X-T1) ? I'm guessing I don't get the use of all the features, like the radio transmitter? In related news, having waited ages for canon to actually release the 430 EX-RT flash, they announce it the week I decide to...

Nope, not that easy. The lens length includes the mount, which is recessed in the body when fitted. Further the widest point of the X-T1 is wider than the point where the mount connects. This gives an incorrect measure. Hence asking if someone who owns one could run a tape measure over it... J

Slightly strange request. What is the physical size of the Fuji X-T1 with the 18-135 lens attached? Thanks J

Ok, so having put my camera in a bag on the front luggage bracket, I now need to find somewhere to put the contents of the T bag. Any ideas where to put the Bivvi bag, sleeping bag, sleep matt, food, water, tarp, tool kit, maps? J

Not an option, as I have the T bag there with all my luggage in, like bivvi bag, sleeping bag etc... J

No, you've lost me. How is a belt pack like the Inverse 100 AW going to get in the way of the movement of cycling? Surely it's worn on the back, and thus has no more interaction in the cycling movement than a waist belt on a backpack would have? Or have I missed something? My bike is a...

Doesn't help me for a number of reasons. - I don't have panniers on my bike - That's even more faff than the backpack - I am concerned for the vibration, cobbled streets, cattle grids and the like do not sound good to a camera on the bike It's also worth noting this is the reason that saddle...

On a recent cycling tour I found I wasn't taking enough photos, largely due to the faff involved in stopping, taking my backpack off, rummaging around for the camera, taking a photo, put it back in pack and put the pack on my back. The backpack contained just my camera and biscuits. Seeing as...

I'm pondering getting a waterproof camera. I am thinking something that won't complain too much if it falls out of a canoe, rather than something waterproof enough to use when diving. The main features I'm looking for are: Waterproofness (~1m) Fast start up time - I'm used to the 0.2s of my...
