Good idea- where does one get a camera insert, dividers etc to fit a normal backpack? A normal backpack is usually more comfortable.

at least with Nikon if I recall correctly they recommend to remove battery from camera for long periods of storage.

Thanks for the info. I rarely use YouTube, but lately have found it useful. So one doesn't need to remove the connector pieces from the bottom plate to use the Capture clip. Wow, I didn't know this! ...

I was thinking about getting this product for my gear below. The original model had what appeared to be easier access screws. Current generation screws appear to be quite low profile. Anyone have ...

Ah thank you. Not sure how I never noticed this before.

I never noticed this before - I’m losing it! Thanks everyone. so— what is VR doing that causes this?

I do have VR turn on!

When I press half way down on the shutter button of my 5500, the scene within the OVF shifts slightly. I believe upward. After I take the shot, the image I see within the OVF moves again slightly, ...

The 5600 had just come out. I forget exactly, but there was a subtle difference between the 55 and 56. I believe the 5500 had better IR remote sensor/detector..I can't remember exactly. It was ...

Thanks! curious why didn’t you go with the 80-400mm?

Yep I’m aware. However I will not buy another camera to choose a lens- waste of money. I’ll rent a lens to choose if needed.

Thanks. I have a 300mm for film, and it's not enough. I realized there's 1.5 increase with DX

I need VR I believe. I find digital far more sensitive to movement than film. Something I'm not used to. Still prefer film.

Thanks for point this out. I rarely choose such a lens because I like the zoom ability. But I will look into it!

I will take a look, thanks! its a tough choice- 400mm vs 200-500mm. Extra 100 mm or  give in for the 80-200 range... decisions decisions

Thanks very helpful. I am using my current lens. I like it’s wide range. As a result I was considering the 80-400mm as it would allow a great range of shooting situations. I read about the 2-2.5 ...
