I know that some of us have had problems with lenses losing communication with the body. I have seen this with my 70-200 f2.8 VR II and with the more recent 70-200 f2.8 FL. Interestingly the problem has been with the TC17 II. On Saturday I noticed that the lens would move slightly side to side, rather than around the axis.

My D90 has developed what looks like an intermittent fault. It sometimes gives a ridiculously long shutter speed, resulting in a blank white image. Is this a known fault? If so, has anyone had experience of getting it fixed - likely cost, and did the fix last? TIA ..read more

I'm sure other users have got fed-up with the lack of spare batteries for the Z50. I've just looked at the WEX site and its still showing 'awaiting stock.' Well, I noticed on Amazon the batteries are on sale, although at a higher price. Ordered on Sunday my new battery arrived this morning. Well done Carmarthen Cameras! But I wonder, if they can get them, why can't WEX, LCE, Park and so on struggle to get stock ..read more

Nikon have confirmed the D780 is available for pre-order. 24mp, higher frame rates and lots of goodies for video shooters. however, it doesn't appear to have the ability to use a vertical grip, so crap for portrait shots (as reported on Nikonrumors) https://www.nikon.co.uk/en_GB/product/digital-cameras/slr/professional/d780 ..read more

I do not need it. It is not immediately available, and neither are the lenses that I would prefer, but they are on the map. If I was miraculously given one with a small number of released lenses, Would I turn it down? No. Would I whinge about the size and weight? Yes. Is this a D3 moment? No We also got the D300.
