Join Ruth, Nick and Marcus as we discuss Nikon going to the moon, the closure of a national park due to bad parking and why the police have seized photos from an exhibition. We then pit our two panelists against each other in the new POP quiz where knowledge of music certainly won’t help you out, before asking - does the world really need a down jacket for a lens, or a camera which mimics a flower?

In this episode of the Photography Online Podcast, we look at the photographer who tried to sue a B&B for having his image on their wallpaper, we reveal the details of the world’s largest digital camera, and we discuss how much the average pro photographer spends on gear each year. We then ask “what kind of photographer are you?”, and what was the point of the last photo you took? We then look at a few new gadgets and ask, does the world really need a hot shoe umbrella, a non-disposable digital disposable camera or a lens cap saver?
