I bought my OpTech strap from ePhotozine's shop - got it in four days too which is impressive from the UK.

It is the most comfy strap I have had. the only thing I miss a little pocket for the remote - I was using an old Pentax strap until recently which has two little pockets in it. I shall have to think of another way of carrying the pesky little remote now.

The OpTech strap I chose was the Super Classic with uni loop connectors as I can use the same connectors for my Bino/Cam harness too.

A few from this afternoons stroll in the woods of Lage Vuursche with the hounds.

Missed the ferry I'm afraid Dan.
It was tempting though, a day trip to Colchester. I could have visited some old haunts too. My aunt lived in Stisted for many years.

Well amazingly it cleared up here. We took a quick look, and I had a try but failed miserably. It was just too cold to stay out long taking photos.

Woke up this morning to a white world again .

Sounds like the instant cashback offered in Canada at the moment:

If you want a wired remote also look at ones suitable for Canon 400D/300D/30 etc.
I have this one: http://tinyurl.com/yzyhub3 from this Dutch shop. Free EU postage on it too. There are plenty of other shops around offering similar ones, OK a bit more than one from Hong Kong, but easier to send back if there's a problem.

I also have the remote F. I use that far more than the "tethered" remote.

No chance of seeing it here. Nasty mixture of rain and snow here all day and tonight too I fear. Certainly more snow is predicted for tomorrow .

At least it has washed away last weekend's snow and the resulting ice fields.

I have a phone which phones, a camera which take pictures, a PC which computes. I can borrow a laptop PC if I have to or use an image tank for when I'm away. I don't listen to music much.
I don't need anything else. Certainly not an iPad.

If the iPad had been 4G I suspect more people would be interested.

A Kindle or e-book is not intended to do all the things the iPad is. I can't imagine reading a book on an iPad screen, whereas I have seen an e-book screen, it reads very well, with no eye strain. If I were to get a new gadget it would probably be that.

I'll believe the battery life on it when it is out and in use.

Sorry Don, you're right
