Anyone been or planning on going? I had thought about going but don't want to trawl across from norfolk to find that half an hour wandering round does it. Any experiences?

I went for the first time last year, lots of new and top of the range equipment to play with so take a memory card or two with you (one for each make as i couldn't access all files going from canon to nikon last time)

Lots of vendors if you're in some form of photography business, lots of workshops. well worth going. I will go two days this year.

I've been about three times.

Went last year and am still kicking myself I didn't buy a printer with £200 off. So currently planning to go on Wednesday - the last day IIRC - and see if I can pick up any last minute bargains.

Plus I usually find the Nikon stand session have some things of interest - brief demos of how to get the best out of Speedlights was useful - and the latest software being displayed.

I don't know if it still works, but if you park there there's nothing to stop you buying your parking ticket on the way out. And if that happens to be after about 6pm there's sadly no one around to take your money... whistle But that was a few years ago - last year I got an advance train ticket (only the return ticket, bought over t'Internet, was for a Virgin Train that wasn't actually going to stop at my destination - dunno how that works!) and then you get a lovely long work out strolling to the show!

Went last year, tried out a few things which I later ended up buying. Cameraworld and Jacobs were there and had some very good prices on some items.
