Cameras, what have you got?
I have sold on my Nikon D610 FF camera, and as much as i loved it, was abit too much for a part time snapper like myself. I loved the full frame and I know i'll miss it, but i've opted for a Sony this time round, namely the RX-10 M3

I don't really have a genre of what i like to take pictures of, i just snap at what feels right at the time, so the Sony covers pretty much everything ( except fast tracking AF which isn't my thing for sports etc )

So what have you got and how does it fair?

check out the newer 4/3's etc, much better for the usual operator...

i have a oly em1 mk2 and a em5 mk2 (which i really need to sell just remembered i still have it Shocked )


loads smaller and equally as impressive imo.

the new sony's would be where my money went now if i wasnt so heavy into oly lenses.

I've just bought myself a Sony RX-10 M3 as well, yet to try it in anger. Same reasoning really, I'm too lazy to carry my 6D and range of lenses and almost invariably have the wrong lens fitted when I want to take a shot or even worse have left the best one at home.

I've got a trip to Costa Rica planned this year and have some internal flights where the camera and lens kit breach the carry on limits. I thought I'd try out something simpler and see if it works as a complete replacement.

The wife and I both have Canon D5, but the older MK1. We’ve had them from new and still have a lot to learn from them. They have met all our needs so far, so no need for upgrading. We have spent a ton of money on lenses so will always stay Canon.

Nikon D90 and a D600.
I’ve got three prime lenses, filters, etc and I never really use it anymore.
I used to do a lot of photos at the local rugby club but haven’t bothered much lately so I’ve got a few thousand quid sat in a Peli Case wasted but I can’t bring myself to sell it and I’d probably get peanuts anyway.

I still have, from my press days, several Canon A1 bodies with a host of FD fit lenses and accesories.
Currently I'm running a Canon 1D Mk.3 with a couple of L series lenses but hope to have, in the near future, a Canon 5DS R.

I use a Canon 60D. which is a lovely semi pro camera.

I have also just purchased 2 GoPro 7's, after a fair bit of research (And a sale on the 7) I thought id go for it... SO, any info, hits/tips/tricks welcomed!

I have (my xmas pressie from my wife) - a 4x4 private off road tutoring day which I want recording..
We have a trip to Spain planned early this year - we decided to take the long route, which I also want planned.
We also have nc500 in the middle/late this year & We have a number of green lane weekends planned through out the year.

And then next year we are planning to do the full route 66!!!!!! Regards

I had the D610 which was the ' rushed ' out replacement for the D600 after the oil issue, however they're identical.

You'd be surpised on price, i got £900 for the body and 18-55 kit lens, £130 for a 70-300 lens and i still have the 50mm prime.

I paid out £1500 2nd hand for it originally, but i believe i had more than £500 worth of fun out if it Thumbs Up

My SLR timeline:

Minolta X300
Minolta X700
Nikon D50
Nikon D5300
Nikon D7100

I've still got the Minoltas and the D50 (still fully working), but the D5300 went on a p/x for the D7100 via https://www.mpb.com about a year ago. Whilst still a DX frame, the D7100 is a good step up from the D5300 series in useful functionality. Most of my summer photos are at athletics events so superfast AF is a priority for me and the D7100 delivers. I'm now in the market for a nice f2.8 >200mm zoom that doesn't cost the earth.

Taken with the D5300



Taken with the D7100 (but mangled by facebook since)

The D5xxx series from Nikon are pretty good combined with a nice lens
