Pretty much, if like me you’re a fast dispatcher then it’s likely you’ll be getting paid around the time or just after your items are received by the buyers. If you delay sending, or in the case of a scammer you don’t send anything at all, then there’s nothing to stop the money hitting your...

You don’t have to wait until the item is delivered before you get paid under the new system, but it might be two days before the money hits your nominated bank account even if you’ve elected to have payments forwarded to you on a daily basis. So, it’s no longer as instant as it was under...

Exact same photos used in the listing as another different seller as well. You’re right to be suspicious!

I was out snapping with a V1 week before last, I like this one. Snow Rise 4 (1024px) by iaintookey, on Flickr

I think the above shows why Jessops folded to be honest. When a camera shop is more interested in selling insurance and hugely overpriced accessories rather than customer service and the benefits of buying from a store, then they're doing something wrong... I visited Jessops in Leicester...

Not at all, I paid £1950 for a new one from Mifsuds (Oct 2009), I couldn't find a used one anywhere at the time. It was a good lens, and with hindsight I'd have saved a lot of money keeping it! These are a few images I took with it in the first few months of ownership. Robin on Log by...

I have used the current 120-300 f2.8 a bit, and I've been quite impressed with it. I also enjoyed using a 50-500 Bigma in my Pentax days, as long as it was stopped down, and after that a 120-400 OS in Nikon fit, which was a bit soft. Since my move to Nikon, I have owned a succession of the...

I have put grips on all my DSLR's for years, I just prefer the heft and the easier portrait shooting. I never used to buy anything non OEM, but tried a Meike grip on a D300 a few years back. I was very impressed with it, and although I have an MB-D10 on my D700, I have just purchased a Meike...

The D7000 does feel a lot more cramped in my hands than my D700/300, but I found putting a grip on it helps enormously. It also makes portrait orientation much easier! To be fair, you get used to any camera after a while, even switching between the DXXX series cameras to the DXXXX type is...

I think without knowing what the actual numbers of drives in service out there are, the forum chatter about failure rates is just guess work. The reports of failing drives of whatever make are self selecting samples, ie, you never hear about drives that have no issues! I have Crucial M4 and...

I'm with E&L and have the in-car cover as an extra. Even then, it has to be in a lockable boot with no access from inside the car, so will exclude hatchbacks or anything with a folding rear seat. I think that's not unusual though, I seem to remember similar exclusions with other policies I...

Is your data worth the extra you'd have to throw at more drives to get a bigger Raid1 setup? Is the data irreplacable? If the answer to those questions is yes, then I guess you don't have much of a choice if you want to stay with the extra security of a Raid1 setup. If the answer to either of...

What sort of performance are you expecting? If a single M4 hits 500mb/s read, then it doesn't necessarily follow that two of them would be 1000mb/s. As far as I know, there is an overhead with raid, so getting on for nearly 900mb/s sounds about right? There are far more knowledgeable raid...

Clone it using something like Acronis True Image Home 2012? As long as you assign the new drive the same letter as the old one so that program's can still find the data etc, it should be fine. TIH 2012 also aligns SSD partitions properly now too. It depends on the games you have installed, but...

I wouldn't be so sure that alternative factories will be on line anytime soon. I mean, would you fancy investing a large amount of capital setting up a specialised factory, only with the risk of HDD prices falling again in the next few months or so? I know I wouldn't! I'm sure HDD prices...

I had a couple of drives up on the MM recently before I found another use for them. They only ever had music/pictures/office docs on them, but I zero formatted them in Win7 prior to sale. I then ran recuva software and also a Sandisk program I got with a CF card a while back, and they...

There were in earlier versions, but it was sorted from the 2011 version onwards apparently; http://kb.acronis.com/content/2699 Certainly, I have no issues whatsoever with my M4 SSD, cloned from a 1TB HDD to the SSD using TIH 2012. Pefrormance is as it should be.

I've migrated an HDD to an SSD for my setup, and used Acronis True Image Home 2012. Just make sure you use the boot cd option that TIH offers, so that it clones without ever going into Windows and it should be fine. The only issue I had is that I had to reactivate Windows 7 following the...

£75 ish was just the price the retailer was selling at, the stock now is all resellers, and they were high for a long time anyway.
