I have using my BR for 4-5 years absolutely no problems but I make sure the connection is tight and check it frequently. I also keep my hand on the camera grip as I walk around.

Go to the Nikon store and check 70-300 and others in the refurb dept.

I have OP tech

I have two packs on hand and always keep two in my bag (one pack) they work extremely well and even hold up well. Have used them in the galapagos and at football games in light rain and downpours. They're really good and you should have at least two on hand and one or two in your bag.

It took 4 days for mine to upload, 25 days seems like there is a problem, maybe.

Check out Nikon refurbs on the website

It's a tamrac bag

I have the evolution 8 excellent bag (back pack) also works as a sling bag left or right. This should be perfect for your situation, you can also look at the evolution 9, I believe the only difference is the size of the computer compartment. Check it out!!

I agree it's not a good shot and should not be on the cover. I stopped buying that mag in the 80's and it looks like they haven't come to far in a quality publication. Like someone said it's all about the money and not the proiduct.

That's what I have and there is no problem, the 700 has a small piece of flat plactic which slides in when there is no flash on the camera and slides out when you use a flash

If you set the security setting the right way you will not have a problem with bad people getting your pics or any other info. If you are like the ignorant masses of people who allow the whole world to see their facebook page then you deserve what could happen.

My wife was just there and she did not need a permit.

The french happen to be very nice people remember if you treat people badly they will return the favor. When you treat people with respect they do the same.

We have been to paris a half dozen times and no one has said a word about taking photos in the city. there are hundreds of folks shooting photos nall over the place so I wouldn't worry about that unless you stick the camera in somebodye face and shoot.

I have been shooting football, wrestling and LAX for the past 20 years. I started with a minolta zoom 70-300 F4.5-5.6 and it worked well. As time moved on I changed to Nikon and purchased a Nikon 70-300 and was qiute happy until I had the opprotunity to use a 70-200 F2.8 and immediately purchased one. It is an excellent lens and I couple a nikon 2X TC III and it's a beautiful thing. The photos are outstanding, the equipment is outstanding and I would recommend either the 70-300 or the 70 -200 depending on your cash position.
