Grew tired of waiting for the direct D300 replacement and despite reseravtions about the D7100 buffer I purchased one at a very favourable price about 6 weeks ago - and Ive got to say I love the camera, the buffer is a non-issue (just goes to show that not all that you read on the net is true)...

Thanks everyone, some good advice here, Im going to give it a go (low heights first, dont want a costly camera repair on my hands)

Hello Im thinking of using a decorators pole to get some elevation in some shots - does anyone have any experience of these and what set up do you use. My thoughts are a telescopic decorators pole (say 3m) preferably push button release, mount a tripod head on the end of it (not sure how...

Always kept in the camera bag, which resides in a cupboard at home

Cynically, I would say it may be down to trying to achieve certain targets or shift some stock. More charitably it coudl be thatthey listened to the customer and thier requirements and thought that what they wanted was not a DSLR
