`We've got to find out what people want from lens caps, how they relate to them, what sort of image they have for them.'

`Stick it up your nose.'

`Which is precisely the sort of thing we need to know. Do people want lens caps that can be fitted nasally?'

For an amateur I'd say it's probably not worth it - that money could be better spent on lenses and accessories which really will improve your photography, not to mention trips.

If you are a pro or semi-pro, the increase in keepers from the improved AF may well make sense however.

A few other apps for moving/downloading your flickr catalogue - bulkr to download them, migratr to move them to another service (smugmug, photobucket etc).

Well I've got the head off my tripod - there doesn't seem to be a screw for attaching another head. However it will make a great spare light stand for strobism!

Maybe if they've moved FF threads from the rumours section into the camera categories sections, they know something we don't and the mythical Pentax FF may soon be rumour no longer.

Thanks Jamie! I'd forgotten about Calumet, but I saw a very good review of their tripods several years ago. And they have a Birmingham store which is great. That's the sort of price I can see myself stretching to for something slightly better and more professional looking.

Appreciate redsnappers are inexpensive compared to manfrotto etc, but they're an indulgent amount of money compared to what I used to have, which did its job to my satisfaction - I can't think of anything else I could have wanted it to do other than support my camera perfectly steadily for long exposure shots etc. But I'm thinking maybe the redsnappers would look more the part, and may be less cumbersome to carry or attach to my backpack. I'll need to handle some to figure that out!

Yeah it looks quite a bit bigger to me too, I was taking Kevin's word for it as someone who had handled both cameras.

True about Canikon crop sensor cameras... try comparing the 7D for instance -http://camerasize.com/compare/#154,378

As Kevin has stated, the D600 isn't significantly larger than a K5. It must be around K20 size, if not smaller.

Some people like a hefty brick of a camera, built in grip etc.
