Specialist photo insurance for amateurs is pretty cheap actually. I went for that option as I also live in a flat so home insurance just isn't worth it. I take out travel insurance too of course but I'm always wary of being fobbed off because of something I missed in the small print.

I also like the new for old aspect of photo equipment insurance. It would take some of the edge off a disaster like being robbed etc if you got a 'free upgrade!'

That's a bit depressing Roscoe! I hope the buyer doesn't run into those issues. There are a few of these bodies around still working so perhaps not all are affected. I expect most of us only get through a few rolls of film per year anyway, now we have out DSLRs.

Your son's a lucky guy... fine vessel! Must be a great experience walking around on tidal flats with the sea all around you, with a the safety of the ship in sight.

I don't think i've come along much but I have really enjoyed my picture taking over the last 12months. I wished I would have been more dedicated in getting out taking landscape shots at the 'golden hour'. Life and laziness just get in the way!

If you are editing a video where key moments in the video are synced to the music, yes, the sync will be lost. You just have to drag a clip to the same point on the timeline and trim it to the same length! This is probably acceptable for a quick work project where cutting to the sourndtrack is possibly unnecessary anyway. [Edited to remove waffle]...

Was wondering where G had got to! Nice shot.

There's something really gorgeous about the monochromatic sky and plumage, and those bright red beaks and feet.

Yes I suppose with the Kx the 18-250 is do-able... if you're in a bit of a 'rainforesty' area you can always bump the ISO to overcome the lens' slowness. Mauritius is a bit of a special trip, and there are competing concerns of 'I don't want to miss a shot' and 'I want my shots to be really special'....

I'd take the 10-20, 17-50 and 50-150mm. And don't forget the W80

Get insurance!
