Thanks to all the really helpful tips guys.

One other thing with the a7 or indeed the new a7 11, I want to buy a high qual lens, no-one has mentioned Zeiss lenses, anyone used them?

Thanks guys for your replies. The more I hear from you the better it makes my switch to Sony from Nikon.
Yes, I understand trading in to get the D800, but it's still very heavy and I do want to be able to carry a smaller cam around pretty much all the time without the weight.

Anyone been using the Sony A7 over the last few months, if so please give me your considered opinion as I'm thinking of buying. Currently using Nikon D700 with 24-70 2.8, but it is heavy.

Thank you for that. My wife has had a Sony Alpha 700 since it came out, and she is a good photographer, so the A77 should not be a problem to her.

Is Nikon Slipping?

Having read on UHH lately of dust problems and oil on sensor problems I wonder if Nikon is slipping in their Research and Development Department, or are they just in too big a rush to get new gear on to a highly competitive market? Have the bean counters taken over and are now telling engineering and manufacturing how things have to be done?

Rubbish. Follow your own advice: keep it simple; life is easier that way...

What's the matter with you? No need to reply like that!

I have often used the Overlay tool but I have never understood how it actually works, it is so powerful. Does the tool add information or simply heighten the info already there? Can anyone enlighten me please?

Jessops goes into administration

Don't like seeing any camera shop go under, so it's a shame to see the name of Jessops disappear. The internet has ruined many shops and is not good when you have a problem and want to take it back or talk to someone about it. I'm talking mainly about having the ache of packing and postage etc.
