Sigma 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN OS | Sport, £814 with part exchange
Kevin Henderson, Derbyshire
I already had an 80-400mm, but found it a bit slow and lacking in reach, so wanted a lens for extra reach at motor sports events as a spectator. I also had a trip to Skomer Island planned, and had read good things about this lens for wildlife photography, a genre I wanted to get more involved in. I am super-impressed with how good the AF is for such a large lens. Although I focused manually for the image here, the lens has no problems keeping up with fast-moving objects, whether when panning or having cars approaching head on. This paid off as it delivered some good-quality shots of puffins on a wobbly boat trip around Skomer! Being a telescopic lens, it takes up surprisingly limited space in a backpack.

Camp Snap camera, £52 new
Rachel Anthony-Rowlands, Swansea
My favourite bit of new kit is the Camp Snap. It’s an 8MP point-and-shoot with no screen designed for kids to take to summer camps, but the creative photography community has fallen in love
