DCW's Content Director, Chris George, joins me, James Artaius, DCW Editor in Chief, for our usual format where we discuss a burning issue in the world of imaging, dive into the kit bag to examine what we've been shooting with lately, and then troubleshoot a technical or creative camera issue.

In this episode, we Gear Up with a pair of tasty new Sigma lenses, including an impressive ‘world first’ *for Sigma* via the company’s smallest-ever zoom lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras.

In Focus, we discuss Nikon’s fall from the ‘Big Three’ camera manufacturers (according to data from Japan). The question is: Who has joined Canon and Sony's exclusive club?

And in Trouble Shooting, we weigh up the risks and rewards of buying a camera from overseas. Is it ever worth it? What can go wrong? And when all is said and done, are you really getting that big of a bargain?

We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback on the show, along with any questions or troubleshooting queries you might have, so please get in touch with us at bokehface@futurenet.com. We hope you enjoy the episode!
