I think the 2Tb cards would be far too expensive to consider for general use in DSLRs when they first come out. Wait till they come down to sub £20 and then we'll all have a field day trying to find those images buried away in never ending streams of files that we've been too lazy to properly manage.

Would be pretty good for backing up hard drives. Or would they become the new 'hard drive'?

Would we all have our own personal hard drive to slot into whichever PC we would be using at the time? Food for thought!!

I fluffed my lines when I got married. Does that mean my wife really isn't? I no longer have to plead for spending money for lenses.... I bet Obama never has this problem....

Can't stop looking!!....

Flat 4,

Stunning shot, great visual impact. And as Father Ted says, well seen!

All,

This forum has 7860 registered members as of today's date (19/1/09).

Not everyone wants to enter the weekly competition, some are content to look at the entries and appreciate the high standard attained.

However, the number of entries submitted as a percentage of the member total is very small, say about 18/7860 and that is 0.002% with many entries coming from regulars.

I have entered a few times but dread winning because of the onerous task of providing meaningful critiques come judging time a week later. Could this be putting members off entering? I know it is great to get feedback but if comments could be expected only on the winning entry and second and third place, then perhaps we could encourage more members to enter?

Dunno. Waddya think?...

Photo of bag and contents, K100D and tamron fully extended as detailed in above post.

Hi,
I can fit my K100D with Tamron 70-300mm fully extended and with lens hood attached in the central compartment. Total length of lens is 8 inches, camera adds 3 inches. 1 inch to spare.

That leaves four compartments, two either side, can fit four more lenses or flash combinations.

Top compartment can easily accommodate extra equipment including rainmac and sandwiches, mobile and wallet, batteries and folding chair. (okay chair is ambitious )

One sliplock attachment on front, but no tripod attachements...... but if you are hiking all day are you going to be taking a tripod?

All I need now is a sign to carry around when I'm wearing the backpack telling everyone just how much I have managed to stuff inside it!..

Purchased yesterday, received today, Lowepro Fastpack 350. (Black)

Spent last month or so trawling the internet (I know...I'm sad) to try and get cheapest price possible. I certainly wasn’t going to pay the list price of £82 or more.

Found it for £61.31 on Amazon, price included delivery, but held out because I knew I might be able to get it cheaper, and I did!

Well, if you are looking for a backpack with slingshot capability that will hold all your gear and your laptop and your munchies for when you spend the day hiking then this is the one for you. I can thoroughly recommend it.

I paid £45.95 plus £4.75 P&P, under £50 !!!!! …. This was my target figure.

BUT, SHOCK HORROR. It’s now only £38.95 from the same source, only 24hrs later!....

Well, that’s life….. and here’s the link if anyone of you is interested

Happy shopping…...

Cheers.

Awww.... now you've done it! Everyone's going to go for the cheaper F2's on ebay and they won't be cheap any more, aarggghhhh!

Park Cameras have zillions of things in their clearance section. I came across this and K10D items todaylink

Could be worth it for someone!

(P.S I have no connections whatsoever to Park Cameras by the way.)
