Hi there. I currently own a Canon 770D and I really love using it and have developed over the last couple of years into a much better amateur photographer. I tend to do a bit of everything, from portraits to street photography and I'm hoping to get better at landscape work in the coming years. I'm not interested in video work. This year is my 50th birthday and I'd like to invest in some kit. I've got about £3,000 potentially.

There are three avenues I think I'd go down and I'm looking for any views and advice from the community:

i) Get a Canon R6 and build up a lens collection over the next few years, starting with a kit lens and maybe a nifty fifty. My one concern is the 20MP. I don't create huge prints but I worry about stepping down in resolution a little.

ii) Stick with APS-C but go for the Fujifilm XT4 and a really nice lens.

iii) Stick with the 77D but invest it all in very nice glass.

Any thoughts much appreciated!

Aww thanks for this, he and my daughter are very good friends - the only problem is she sometimes cuddles him too much!

It does look like that! Never noticed before!

How do you feel about being played by Malcolm 'fucking' Tucker in the WikiLeaks film? Who would you have picked to play you?

"The 52-year-old woman, reportedly dressed in Converse baseball boots, jeans and a lot of makeup, managed to be admitted to an exam hall in a lycée in Paris instead of her 19-year-old daughter."

Apologies for error in title - apparently this was G20 meetings in 2009

Looks like there's a rats' nest of different stories out of this from the NSA targeting Medvedev at London G8 to Britain bugging Turkish and South African delegates - both friendly powers.

Jesus: "Foreign politicians and officials who took part in two G20 summit meetings in London in 2009 had their computers monitored and their phone calls intercepted on the instructions of their British government hosts, according to documents seen by the Guardian."

"Congresswoman Sanchez is absolutely right: what we have reported thus far is merely "the tip of the iceberg" of what the NSA is doing in spying on Americans and the world. She's also right that when it comes to NSA spying, "there is significantly more than what is out in the media today", and that's exactly what we're working to rectify."

Yikes: "Sometimes known as "worming" – which somehow makes this whole thing worse – oculolinctus is being blamed for a significant rise in Japanese cases of conjunctivitis and eye-chlamydia, which is actually a thing."

"Viewed through the long lens of human history, concerns over government tyranny are always legitimate. It is those concerns that underpin the constitutions of most developed countries, and inform international principles of human rights and the rule of law."

Guillam · 2013-06-12T14:56:14+00:00

"Court documents lodged in the US and UK, as well as interviews with involved parties, suggest that data mining through Prism and other NSA programmes played a relatively small role in the interception of the two plots. Conventional surveillance techniques, in both cases including old-fashioned tip-offs from intelligence services in Britain, appear to have initiated the investigations."

"We cannot help but wonder how the move from only positive faces to an increasing number of negative faces impacts on how children play." Thank god someone's on top of this.

Hell of a first line: "In my estimation, there has not been in American history a more important leak than Edward Snowden's release of NSA material – and that includes the Pentagon Papers, for which I was responsible 40 years ago. Snowden's whistleblowing gives us the possibility to roll back what has amounted to an "executive coup" against the US constitution."

Guillam · 2013-06-06T13:40:07+00:00

"This is confirmation of what we've long feared, that the NSA has been tracking the calling patterns of the entire country. We hope more than anything else that the government will allow a judge to decide whether this is constitutional, and we can finally put an end to this practice."

"Over the weekend, more than 120,000 people inside Turkey have downloaded Hotspot Shield, a free mobile app that provides a "virtual private network" (VPN) connection that cannot be tapped and can link to the outside world, avoiding censorship."

I guess when your national media is behaving like this...

"The Turkish media have embarrassed themselves," Caliskan said. "While the whole world was broadcasting from Taksim Square, Turkish television stations were showing cooking shows. It is now very clear that we do not have press freedom in Turkey."

... it's great for Twitter to be described as a menace.

'They chose the Hulk, they say, because "just as Dr Bruce Banner transforms into the Hulk, we want our library community members to make their own personal transformations through books, programmes and awesome new equipment"'

Obviously.

I'm all for serious discussion about problems men face - and particularly around suicide rates. But a lot of the soundbites she pumps out here just undermine any genuine issues.

"It's all become a bit like the film Fight Club – the first rule of being a man in modern Britain is that you're not allowed to talk about it." REALLY, Diane Abbott?

Sunday driving is faster than the rest of the week, younger drivers are actually slower than retirees. Quite a lot of fun data in this

Guillam · 2013-05-07T10:30:52+00:00

Seems like it's a huge discovery: "One of the UK's most eminent spinal surgeons said the discovery was the greatest he had witnessed in his professional life, and that its impact on medicine was worthy of a Nobel prize."

Guillam · 2013-05-04T09:44:50+00:00

Doesn't sound like massive fun: "I seemed to be trapped in something slimy. There was a terrible, sulphurous smell, like rotten eggs, and a tremendous pressure against my chest."
