Pentax never gets any love....

Basically every camera in this sale has already been individually posted on hukd

For landscape your current 18-55 kit lens is good enough, get a polarising filter for it and you will see a big improvement. For photos at family functions etc I would get the Nikon AF-S 35mm f/1.8G DX I would be aiming to snipe one for around the £100 mark in excellent condition on eBay. You will be able to take amazing pictures indoors at functions without a flash and your pictures will look so natural and warm. You will get a nice bokeh (blurry background) which makes your subject really stand out, I like lights in the background that can work well. You will be able to sell it on with little or no loss when you are done with it. The kit lens goes down to 18mm which is pretty wide angle for landscape. Nikon do a 10-20mm DX zoom landscape/wide angle but it costs £300. If I wanted wider I would just use a phone with a very good camera (Samsung S8 £150+ for a 2nd hand one with a cracked screen). Just my opinion... :) I once wanted to get the Nikon 14mm prime (£1400) to do wide angle but came to my senses as I wouldn’t have used it enough to get the value so I went with the 24-70 2.8 (£1100) and it has been to Australia, America, Spain, Greece etc and taken great family pictures and I haven’t regretted it. However I am now thinking of selling the 24-70 zoom and just getting a range of 1.8 fx primes because they offer the best performance/value ratio for a hobbyist and since I have kept my D7000 body (I have D610) I can carry 2 cameras with a 1.8 prime on each and get better pictures than if just carrying a zoom on 1 camera.

Oneday77: What does it not do that you want it to? If you want better image quality but a similar range to what you have. Look for a 17-55mm f2.8. The DX pro lens. I'm still relatively new to photography, only had my D5100 for 2years. I've only got the basic 18-55mm lens. At the moment, I've been just capturing photos at family functions, and the occasional day out somewhere like Alton Towers. I would like a better lens to help take photos in low light at family functions, and an additional lens for landscape photography, for when I go to the countryside like at farms and theme parks etc.

It depends on what type of photography you are interested in. 18-55 is a basic kit lens but good enough for general everyday family pics. If you like the 18-55mm lens but want to upgrade from kit lens inn the same range. I have Sigma 17-50mm 2.8 lens and pic quality is absolutely wonderful. Having 2.8 aperture will give you smoothly blured back ground "Bokeh" and enable low light photography. I also have Nikon 35mm 1.8 lens and it is a fantastic light weight lens. Very fast and 1.8 aperture is brilliant. As you have Crop sensor DSLR 35mm is equivalent of 50mm that every one talk about it on YouTube.

The 85mm f1.8 G is the muts nuts.

Filtears urgh, all that expensive glass and stick a filter on it just no.... going wide wide doesn’t really need fast glass and every mm going wider is like an extra 100mm on a long lens in cost and building.

Oh no you didn’t

You really can't compare a tokina to a Sigma art lens. You get what you pay for!

I wish the Canon mount was this price

11mm is 11mm if you can mount an aspc design lens on aspc its the same as a full frame lens of the same focal length on aspc crop factor is a function of sensor not of the lens the problem comes if you try and mount an aspc lens on a full frame sensor you may not get full sensor coverage

Search YouTube for battery life test, the battery is good for over 1100 shots per charge and over 2 hours of 4k video per charge.

Just a heads up that you can get the lens and ftz adaptor package for £2,589.77 from BHPhoto with pre-paid VAT and shipping - I don't think it has a memory card though...

Because if they tweak firmware prior to full hands on, in depth and independent reviews, it will fare better. The Z7 has already been in production for a few months. They can’t physically redesign them now. Further firmware changes will be make post release but they won’t release on v1.0 firmware, unless they baseline the releases.

It looks like the response to it has made them stop and think ,if the camera was welcomed that’s the system that would of hit the streets ,don’t think they would have done a massive campaign then show a camera that’s not ready to the press and then say all this ,it doesn’t make sense ,if it’s just firmware why would that stop the release if they can issue firmware downloads when it’s ready to the owners ?

They won’t redesign the hardware. I have seen some issues reported with AF speed, lag on high FPS capture and other firmware related issues. Odds on that is all that is likely, software update per-release.

Really sorry, it's expired already! They must have only had a few

I hope they ask for a noted timestamp in the photo proof so people can't grab any random pics off Google

Yeah, I got the same email- will have to upload my anchors as proof. Will dig them out over the weekend- although cant remember where i've put them but should be in the drawers somewhere

Don't really understand the need for them :/

Congrats to all the lowlife scalpers that have forced PD to do this. Make me sick. Hopefully us genuine owners will get their replacement.

Awesome lens great price

I've always wanted to get the 50mm lens, but after seeing recommendations from here and checking out some reviews, I bought this one. Now I have to wait for it to be restocked :|

Everyone who reads into photography always hears about the Nifty Fifty. People then go in to say that a 50mm lens is a must to most kit bags and that it’s very versatile. While most of that is true, that is only advice when using either a full frame or 35mm camera. In the case of of DX Nikon bodies, including the pro level d500. The 35mm should be used as opposed to 50mm. Then just about everything you read about of heat is the equivalent.

Just get it. Magic lens. Takes wonderful pictures without working too hard.

From what i've read, don't bother and wait for the 1.4 when it comes out. One person on a photography forum said the 1.4 was pretty good (Canon only at the moment) but was actually giving the 1.8 away for nothing as it was that bad.

Anyone recommend a good case/bag for this camera and VR lens??

I still have my D50 I got a 50mm prime for it when I bought a d5100, which I am finding limiting and seriously considering the d500 now The 3xxx series are nice cameras I think it was worth getting a 5xxx due to the fully articulating screen, been very handy

Can anyone link a decent carry bag, not too bulky? Extra points for Amazon or Argos, need it before Tuesday to take on hols. Cheers

Looks like a fair deal. Ordered the VR. My little TZ60 got sand in the lens last month forcing a replacement. I'm going for a bigger camera this time, hopefully it will not be a mare to use! If any one can link a newbies guide to dslr cameras, please do! Heat added

Took me ages to find it for some reason it doesn’t come up in the listings on my iPad. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/362365536362 £333 after discount, just ordered it

I personally don't like the way Jessops present some of the products on their site that have a promotion, where they state the price after cashback first (with price you pay today in red). Then other items the red text is for the amount you save:

same price with Jessops and Amazon.

For anyone who is curious like I was (from the Nikon promotion T&Cs): Nikon UK Ltd cannot accept claims against products purchased from eBay (whether listed as new or used). Purchases from Amazon will only be accepted when made directly from amazon.co.uk and not from 3rd party sellers on Amazon Marketplace, whether fulfilled by Amazon or not.

I have for months (embarrassed) einfin seem to be cheapest - wife's gonna kill me one night and a few too many beers ...

I use grey imports all the time....check out the likes of Panamoz, Digital Rev and HDew too (y)

big saving very tempting, then there's the A7iii arghhh

Few people and myself have used them a few times ....spot on....never had any problems

Yeah I know it's a grey import but the price is tempting - anyone had problems with what they ordered?

No real discount on camera bodies as retailers have steadily increased their prices in recent weeks anticipating the summer cashback. Why no D610 on offer?

Decided to go for it and glad I did as the price has gone up now. Will be a nice upgrade from d3100. Thanks mfktemp for postingand be2st for mentioning cashback.

Done, thanks

Thanks be2st for sharing this great offer. I have added this to the description, and will be claiming the cashback for myself (cheeky)

Incredible! Op- repost this deal with the cashback included in the price

Wow thanks for this. Very tempted now! Further to your update in the OP, Amazon is approved as long as it's sold by Amazon and not just fulfilled by them.
