I have upgraded to class 10 from class 6 & the only difference on my gx20 is i can shoot 24 frames before the buffer fills compared to 21 frames using class 6 cards.

If you are shooting sports then those three frames could make a difference...

A classic example of a company destroying all competition then the public losing interest in that niche market store.

Businesses need competition to keep going... Rivals compliment each other...

As for trained staff, I wouldn't even call them sales people. How can you sell anything without any product knowledge???

Companies do not buy shelf space stores, this is a fallacy. What camera store is NOT going to stock the top 3 brands??? Canon, Nikon & Sony... we also do not know what credit terms those three companies are giving Jessops, seem to recall Pentax stopped dealing with Jessops due to their poor credit history at the time...

I don't get the attraction of the Bieber either, but he is a marketers dream...

Smeggy to shoot any major concert you need to be backed by a publication. Sometimes you can get in using an online music zine but usually you need a large media outlet behind you.

First time shooting at the NIA, but that isn't really important. I now know what beatlemania must have been like, 14000 screaming 6 to 16 year old girls, the odd father & outside lots of cars with mum's patiently waiting the return of their offspring.

Fantastic light again for this show... However narrow pit & high stage made full length shots difficult...

ISO 1000
f/2.8 to f/4

Various shutter speeds from 1/125 to 1/400

wouldn't bother joining any of them. Never been asked if I am a member of any society...

I don't see what benefit you get from joining them...

wow how many times do i have to say this. paypal gift is exactly what it says it is for & thats gifting money. paypal are regularly now returning paypal gift payments back to the originators account. the seller has absolutely no comeback with this. the seller wont even know who the buyer is as ebay dont tell you until the item is paid for.

buyer turns up to collect i pad
buyer pays with paypal gift using smartphone
seller checks paypal account, payment cleared
buyer keaves with i pad
30 mins later paypal suspend sellers account oending investigation
seler has to convince paypal security this is a genuine gift transaction
7 to 10 days later money is returned to buyer, selers account reinstated.

seler has no ipad, no money & more importantly no way of finding out where his buyer lives...

its a great scam & will get more common

a large gift paypal transaction like this will raise a big red flag, get your payoal account suspended & the money refunded to buyer.

paypal ask the buyer what the gift was for, he says he bought an i pad. they cancel the payment & refund as its not a gift payment its a payment for goods or services don't do it...
