The camera

Nikon's new entry-level DSLR, the D3300, is a lightweight 24.2-megapixel camera with continuous shooting speeds of up to five frames-per-second and Wi-Fi; £499.99 excluding kit (nikon.co.uk).

The hotel

Le Grand Bellevue has reopened in Gstaad. Under new ownership and looking dashing after a hefty refit, the hotel now sports 57 contemporary rooms, a fine-dining bistro and spa (bellevue-gstaad.com).
