Especially by some short Chinese guy with his Nikon flash pointed right in my face blinding me.
To be fair he had to use something to bounce his flash off!

Edit-- having now read the other comments I see that people taking picture of the girls is not the done thing well sorry but I've never been in a studio before and never seen what lighting like that is like first hand so I did take some pictures. No huge back pack, no barging and I took 5 shots and moved on. Did make me want to rent a studio and try it properly!
That got me, the number of people there with 70-200 lenses on. Huge camera backpacks. I saw one guy with a dslr, flash on top and another flash on a bracket to the side, both wired to the camera. Most of the models were setup on the lighting stands, posed to demonstrate the lighting setups, so I'm not sure what they thought they were photographing.
I went light. Didn't see the point in taking anything with me
Sweet, sounds exactly what I am after. In fact I want to have a look at them rather than actually as all shops around me seem to have a crappy to no-existent range of video specific tripods.Manfrotto stand had their very good video tripods and heads, plus the self levelling heads/centre columns.

DrRusty said:Couldn't get to play with it, much like the D800, D4 and 5Dmkiii. The Olympus is just tiny !! Really nice and the battery grip addition is just neat. It really has a look of an OM body but I would say smaller.
Prices of kit is pretty standard but I picked up a pair of 603 flash triggers an and 50mm f1.8
Not in too much trouble with SWMBO !! will need to get at least one more 603 and a couple of cheap flashguns in due course.

Any talks/demos that anyone would recommend?

Came home with a 5D2 and some other goodies mind, so not a wasted day

People with Backpacks and Cameras, I felt like I was fighting through Kings Cross on a Friday Evening
On the plus side I did pickup a nice new 17-40 f/4L at a very good price
Oh, and it was nice to fondle the 1DX (wasn't fussed about the 5d3)
Assuming I can say on here, Jacobs, £569, it was £599 at Camerworld and £800 at Calumet (O_O) I checked prices before I left and WEX were selling online at £613 I think.

Nope. They've got the 200-400 also
Don't suppose you caught the price tag did you?
Di
I spent a good few hours there. It got busy later. Nikon wouldn't allow cards to be put in the D4/D800.
Kev.
