My daughter got married at the weekend and I decided to take one body and lens along. Obviously I couldn't be the official photographer as father of the bride but I did find time to catch a few pics.
Many years ago I used to regularly buy Amateur Photographer, Outdoor Photography and Practical Photography but I can't remember the last time I looked at photography magazine, let alone buy one.
I have used many different types of batteries over the years (when I was a Canon user) and I often found the 3rd party batteries performed just as well as the Canon ones.
