Installing its ‘OS’ image stabiliser technology into its new 120-400mm telezoom has enabled Sigma to come up with an extremely versatile full format lens.

Nikon D700

Nikon’s second ‘FX’ format – that’s a 35mm sensor to you and me – D-SLR delivers most of the D3’s remarkable performance for close to half the price. Yes, of course you’ll want one!

Canon EOS 1000D

Roll up! Roll up! For the first time in Canon D-SLR history you can buy a new generation model for under $1000. Except you won’t, of course, because you’ll want the image stabiliser lens and that’s an extra $100.
