I used a soft cooler bag last week at the beach. Inconspicuous to most people. I was waist deep in the sea and not always in full view of my kit.

Spiny spider.

Lovely with chips and peas.

Good capture.

It's all down to personal taste and how we use different kit. No different to using third party lenses, batteries, memory and any other items that carry a different brand name or perform better in certain enviroments.

One thing I have noticed though, since getting and using the Sun Sniper, I have managed to cross the bunting twice into restricted areas at shows. Just stepped over and started shooting. Officials seem to think that because you look like a pro carrying three cameras and waring a harness, you must be.

Funny

I bought the double,been using mine for two weeks. Brilliant. Bought it direct from Germany.

Absolutely no shoulder ache after all day, two gripped DSLRs with heavy pro lenses. Cameras cannot work their way round the body and are very fast to use.

FWIW, I have shot plenty of video throughout the Middle East and Russia. Last camera was a Canon XL2. Recently sold as I don't shoot video any longer. If I feel the need to shoot video again, I'll buy a suitable video camera.

More importantly, not shooting video puts me at zero risk of starving to death. Fortunately, I am good at more than one thing which is why I get to travel and work around the world.

I've just been shooting some of the top kite surfer's (Cesar Portas) link here at Safety Bay and Woodman Point. A large group of togs were always there. Some serious kit about and plenty of discussion. One question was "do you shoot video"? No one bothered to use it and most saw it as a gimmick regardless of quality.

Although manufacturers include it for a marketing point, huge numbers of DSLR users never actually use it.

I'd swap my video on the K7 for better AF performance but that's a mute point.

Well some of us.

The 16-50 won't replace Ltds or a macro.

You need to decide just how much you use the 31mm at the moment and if the other lenses will provide more use?

It's never a good move parting with a lens like the 31mm but each have their own reasons.
