Thanks for the report and the pictures. The SH-50 iHS is now listed in New Zealand by parallel importers. Henry

The main reason for SD cards to fail is that they become corrupted over time. The format you do in the camera is a quick format, meaning the old data is not overwritten. After repeated use, some of...

If I have to choose between cameras of the same kind, I choose the one with the higher pixel count. I do moon and bird shots, and some times they need enlarging. Given the choice between a longer...

Nice picture. Good colours. Clean sky. I never got to see an SZ-31MR iHS in its metal. Henry

I would actually go for a 'tough' P&S model, such as the OlympusTG830 - http://www.dpreview.com/products/olympus/compacts/oly_tg830 . The baby will have priority over the camera, so a though model...

I am currently using an Olympus SZ-30MR, for which a direct replacement is not available. If I have to change brands, I would prefer the Nikon S9500. In my use, a higher pixel count always gives me...

I don't have children, but I am getting distracted constantly. If I want any photography done, the camera has to be always with me. So I carry a 24x zoom 16 MP pocket P&S (Olympus SZ-30MR). This...

In my perception, that tripod is a fashion accessory, possibly suitable for a pocket P&S in a dire emergency, but not for a DSLR.

Nice cars, maybe a little overexposed one or two of them. I find setting EV at -0.7 in P mode suits stills, but EV at -0.3 is better for video. But you can salvage a lot of overexposed pictures...

I still have my Olympus SP-570UZ - but for convenience I have been using the 24x zoom 16 MP Olympus SZ-30MR pocket P&S for the last two years. I don't see much incentive to replace that with the...

I already have a 24x zoom pocket P&S with a 16 MB BSI CMOS sensor, which permitted last Saturday this 5.5 MB crop from the camera original - Here, the 2800 x 2100 crop was reduced to 1600...

I am listening to the clothes drier. Can't have music interfering with that. Henry

Yesterday NASA TV carried a warning of closure. Now, my browser cannot find NASA Today. You must remember, one of your past presidents noted for putting your country into debt, and handing over...

I feel you have succeeded because you had a good idea as to what to expect to begin with. I don't have any water-proof camera - but I do remember camera manuals that told you how and when fogging...

If I perceive that a poster makes nebulous statements, I look at his profile. I don't care what cameras he or she has, as long as there is ONE. I also find the DPReview galleries too complicated to...

Thank you for looking! Henry

Thank you! It does the jobs that before were done by two separate cameras. The SP-570UZ was used a lot for moon shots as well as gannets - This SP-570UZ shot was cropped as well, even though it...

I had visited the gannet colony at Cape Kidnappers near Hastings twice before during Morris Dance Tours - the last time in 2004 - This is a C-750UZ picture. Maybe I should have another go at...

The VR-340 is a rehash of my 2010 10x zoom 14 MP Stylus 9010, and it shows more colour separation than my 2008 20x zoom 10 MP SP-570UZ bridge camera does. The HD-720p video in my Stylus 9010 does...

They are re-inventing the wheel. Such corrections are incorporated in the firmware of my 24x zoom Olympus SZ-30MR pocket P&S and a multitude of similar dedicated cameras, and presumably in all cell...
